The Basalt

The Basalt, a haphazard volcanic landscape. The ground beneath you shifts constantly with the flow of molten rock, moving platforms are everywhere. The floor is comprised of small islands in the magma, pillars of lava shift back and forth and jagged obsidian walls are also there.

Touching lava will propel the Player directly away from it at great speed and force, and deal 10 damage. Enemies will take 1 damage/sec when touching the lava and only move at 80% speed.

Lesser Enemies
The resident species of the Basalt is that of the Magmonians, and the occasional Lavanian. Magmonians dwell underground, burrowing through the volcanic rock and attacking the Player from below. Lavanians are airborne and rain fiery death from above.

Level 1
The level is structured into tunnels connecting large caverns. The tunnels are tight, magma lines the walls and the Player must hop from stone to stone over the molten floor. The large caverns are full of even more hazards, with moving platforms and shifting pillars of magma.

Level 2
This level centers around a large central river of magmatic rapids. The Player must travel downstream, walking along the obsidian riverbanks. Occasionally, you will have the option to cross the river. Doing so is deadly, as you will have to hop across the stationary stones bridging the gap. Molten spikes will flow very quickly fown the river, so timing your crossing well will be important. The river will flow faster as you get further along, and some shortcuts through the obsidian walls will be available.

Level 3
This level has a giant volcano the Player must climb. Winding streams of lava flow down the sides of the volcano, and fiery rock rains down from above. The exit will be strategically placed at the very top, right over a great lake of lava, only held up by a narrow metal bridge.

The mountain climb will be treacherous, the path up twists and turns violently. Some sections will require timing, as lava will periodically rain down from above.
