It was cool thanks for making it

it is 2025, and yes we are still playing hot lava lol hahah... i was rly curious about the hidden room, even to the point searching it with my boyfriend for 15 mins...

tbh, the map is cool and fun enough, it was a bit easy but it was okay. a tip for who still plays this game and looking for the hidden room, just check around the statue, or behind the statue i would say

is there anyone could tell me where is that secret room , i'll appreciate that

mega G

Like this a lot! Thanks for making it! :)

Chinese NO.1

spoko

Quite a nice looking map, though the majority of the stages were far too easy and that last one was ridiculously frustrating. Doesn't seem to be an unpopular opinion either.

Pretty easy map, but I enjoyed it :)!

I can definitely see those 7 thumbs down come from last surfing area but after 15 minutes trying finally managed to get over it, JEEZ man!

so apparently there's a mechanic where you can gain height on those surfing surfaces, but i can't for the life of me get it to work at all. if i could i would be able to beat and thus like this map.

the last bit where you have to grind/surf around corners was too hard for me. everything else was fun tho.

Great map apart for the final surf stage, I spent about an hour trying to complete it but gave up because I realised I wasn't having fun at that part.

most of the stages were fun, except the surf stages. The last stage made me quit, not in rage but because of frustration.

Thank you for making a map that feels like it could become a part of Hot Lava.
Many custom levels are just far too hard and are catered to the hardcore expert bunny hoppers.
I just love jumping around and don't mind hard levels either. Just nothing that requires super tough bunny hopping.

You ramped the difficulty up progressively well. Near the end it was tough for me. But I knew it wasn't going to be impossible. 5 out of 5! Hope you have more stuff in the future.

This was a fantastic map. Beatiful aesthetically (I particularly like the faux lightshafts through the windows at the start) also coupled with low-poly looks great. I'd love to see more of your maps, great stuff. It was easy, yes, but very fun and had lots of little details.

This map was very enjoyable aesthetically, which I believe to be a large part of KZ. The map is gorgeous, had enough challenge that it wasn't a piece of cake but not so hard that you were stuck anywhere for too long. We need more maps like this.

got a 00:55.537 run, can be done better if u keep the speed after the huge skip, also the surfs are really unpolished https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tpvhd64H8rQ

i want more !

the best think about this map is the art style fits well to this game unlike the other maps, surf parts were so fun but I only have one suggestion, add alternate paths

change background, it does not show all the beauty of this map

+1

@extenz thank you for the heads up ive been wondering since i saw no in-game editor

@Papi Pastrami there's a "Hot Lava SDK" in the Tools section on Steam. Download it and there's a PDF file explaining the basics. It's made in Unity

How do you make maps for this game?

fun as hell map, my current best time is 1:28

Congrats on getting the community spotlight!

Very nice map, and design, my only issue was the lake of alternate path and choice.

Keep up the good work.

Ey finally found the secret room :D

Really nice map though the last Surf part feels really weird for the last jump onto the finish.

Also where is that damn secret room

nice level really like it

3:18 on first try, well created level.

easy? that last jump is impossible!

Great work Extenz! I would recommend placing a realtime "directional light" facing directly down with a 0.3 or 0.4 brightness to make the tops of surfaces 'pop'. To get that lava looking juicy try adding some forces to the sim. Also consider adding a few more images, your map looks great, show it off! :+1: Keep it up!

thats awesome, you made great use of them!

The textures, models and pretty much everything else is from the Unity Asset store. I've used Unity in the past and bought a couple of assets just for fun so now I can finally use them

This is easily the best custom level I've played so far. As a person who took four hours to complete Chase the Grade, the level isn't TOO easy, but it's fair. We need more like these to offset all of the bhop courses getting ported in.

Are the textures used part of the hot lava sdk, or did you get them from somewhere else?

@extenz fair enough, a little colour varience i think would still help it a bit. Either way excellent job!

Great map but a little short.
nice work

@LINUX MASTER the secret room is behind a wall without collision so you can just walk ( or jump? ) right through it. There's nothing to see there tho. Definitely not a treasure or anything silly like that. Nope. Definitely not... Especially not a treasure.

@Justinpk Thanks! Well honestly it's supposed to look like that. It was meant to be "low poly" style. Kinda like this https://i.imgur.com/Qkl6RDg.jpg
Anyway I replaced the arrows with something more visible

Great map man! Is the secret room through a false wall or is the entrance visible if you are paying close attention?

Awesome map! I love the custom models and can't wait to see what it looks like when you texture it! I had some issues with finding the arrows to jump on but with textures that will be fixed too.

awesome job!

Good stuff
