THE BALLZ ARE LAVA!
"Nobody knows why - it's just always been this way. Our chance of survival is to absorb all the Green Orbs floating around, while avoiding certain death by touching the Lava - all before the time runs out!"
My entry to the #FC_JAM that came 2nd Place, where the theme was "Union".

THANKS & ATTRIBUTION:
The following PICO-8 posts & resources were very helpful in the making of this game:
- blokatt's "fire" tweetjam
- Zoom Counter by RhythmLynx
- Krystman's "Screenshake and Fading" sample code
- Big numbers in PICO-8 (Felice, NuSan, et al.)
- ...and of course, "Funky Shit" by The Prodigy (sorry if I butchered it!)
RELEASE HISTORY:
As good as on itchio ;) ! Maybe a bit easier with the mouse pointer visible.
Hey Paul! I finally got to play this. Not sure how it slipped past me, but it's GREAT! Love it.
The music really suits it too.
Lovely game this. You know how to make something fun.
Aww, thanks Roy - glad u liked it :D
I think I released this before u started playing with Pico-8.
(TBH, I'd almost forgotten I'd made it myself!)
But then I remembered that I always thought it might be interesting to make a "HD" version, with crisp, modern graphics and sound. So, now I've started... ;o)
Hi Liquidream. Yes, I have to agree with Roy. It is a very nice and fun game.
