Why it's on the shelf
Lava Beat swaps falling notes for convergence: four streams tighten toward the centre, so timing is read inward rather than downward. Charred basalt and lava orange mark the strike line; ember gold flashes on Perfect hits, ash grey on misses. Accuracy and combo still decide the fail state. The tap layout works with keys or touch, and the closing rings make late hits feel like a near miss.
How to play
D/F/J/K or tap the four lanes. Click the frame once if the game needs keyboard focus, and use the fullscreen button above for a bigger view.
- tap lanes as rings close
- hit exactly on the beat
- stack a combo multiplier
- keep accuracy from failing

- Re-skin — palette, sprites, audio, logo and end screen.
- Retune — difficulty curve, level length, controls, mobile layout.
