Rise of Lava

Rise of Lava is a cooperative escape game with a clear threat: the lava keeps rising. You and a friend start running, and you need to keep jumping toward higher ground so neither of you gets caught.

The description says the goal is to escape the lava without dying and that none of you should die. Emeralds are scattered around too, and collecting them gets you a costume. The source does not list controls, so the instructions at the start show each player's keys.

It suits people who like short, tense platform runs with a friend. A tip is to climb together and avoid dropping behind, because the lava rises constantly. For a similar climb, try Lava Ladder Leap.
