It's been a while since the last progress update, huh? Well, the game isn't dead. Not yet, anyways. Over the last month or so I've been working on version 1.2. In this post, I'll go over the major new features.

Achievements:

That's right! In version 1.2, Lava Survival is getting a fully fledged achievement system. Although some things still need to be tweaked, it's coming along nicely.

Cosmetics:

In version 1.2, Lava Survival is also getting cosmetics. These are unlocked via the aforementioned achievements, and change your appearance in-game. In addition to cosmetics, you can also unlock badges, which show up next to your name on the leaderboard!

Scorch Marks and Slime:

These are the two major gameplay additions in 1.2. Whenever lava breaks a block, it leaves behind scorch marks. Blocks can't be placed on these, but lava can flow through them freely. Don't worry though, as they go away after a round.

Every 5 rounds, slime will spawn instead of lava. It deals inverse damage to blocks (i.e. not a lot of damage to wood, but a lot of damage to steel).

Conclusion:

Lots of exciting features are coming to 1.2, which will hopefully make the game feel much more complete. There's still a few major features I want to add, but the majority of new additions from this point will be minor.

Expect 1.2 to release in a few weeks. See you then!
