Volcanowned! - Frimkron - 48 Hour Competition Entry
Arrow keys to move - avoid hitting things to keep your speed up and stop the lava catching up with you.
NOTE: there's a bug which sometimes causes the game to crash when quitting.

A bit too tough, but the idea escaping on the rocket is nice (also nice title screen:D)
Very intense! I think it would benefit from a long vertical aspect ratio so you can see the lava and rocks and have more time to react.
Keeps you on your toes. I've seen a couple of games with this idea before, but your graphics are really nice, also the increased difficulty helps.
It's very hard and I didn't finish. I did enjoy it though; after several attempts I had one run where I got into "the flow" and felt like my fingers were moving before my brain told them to. That was fun - although I still hit a rock long before the end.
It was really very hard.... and the ending wasn't very rewarding either. But it was fun, in a frustrating way.

Would be nice if the game wasn't so impossible, One hit and you are dead.
