Inspiration

The inspiration for this Game started with an idea to make a side scrolling game like Mario from my Childhood days. Originally I was making one very Tall Tower that you can Climb and jump up. Then I thought it would be very unique and Cool to make the Map 3D so I tested and was able to change the mechanics to still side-scroll but you are able to go around the map and basically have 4 different maps/sides in 1 game.

What it does

A Fun multiplayer Obstacle Course Game that you can race with up to 10 of your friends. Goal is to Race to the top and avoid dying in the Lava! Fun, Quick and easy!!

How we built it

We worked as a team, and started with a map, and some simple mechanics and built up various ideas as well as leaving some ideas behind to make the fun parts Shine the most.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into some challenges for setting up compatibility for VR users, but since it was asked for by our friends we had fun making the game cross platform.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are very proud of this world and the many weeks of effort, creativity and updates we made along the way! We hope to see success and look forward to build upon this project.

What we learned

We learned how to incorporate player feedback and feedback from the Feedback festival to make the map much more interactive with special power ups and interactive Mechanics like breaking out of a gem when you get frozen.

What's next for Lava Tower

Next for lava tower would be to incorporate more uniquely Themed Maps, and have specials Fun themed maps, for different occasions like Summer, 4th of July, Fall , winter etc. We are very excited that we recently implemented VR compatibility and look forward to more creative ways to incorporate cross play.
