A cute lil platformer you can beat in a weekend
with a level editor included that's worth the 20 bucks alone I'd say, but Hot Lava has a couple more things to offer.

It's got a nice aesthetic to it, and with a landscape littered with overused 80's and 90's references I'd say this game partakes in that nostalgia tastefully, with completely original creations like the action figures you play as or the comic books you collect.

Courses are very well designed with multiple short cuts to go faster and beat the levels time thresholds for those extra stars or you could explore the levels slowly, picking up all manners of collectibles.
there's something for both play styles.

Though of you find the time thresholds to be generous, there's much more challenging community made levels that really put your speed to the test. Despite them lacking in visual appeal, the GAT HQ level being the one stand out exception out of the developer curated levels that are already part of the base game.

I liked it but it's kind of a one and done fore me, these so much stuff to unlock that doesn't really amount to much, so completion seems like a lot of effort for very little pay off.
