## What is Lava Crew?

In the year 2124, you are the sole survivor of a team of elite planetary surveyors, tasked with stabilizing newly formed planets for habitation.
The problem is, you have nothing but a few moss clumps, a pool of water, and your own lightning fast reflexes standing between you and an
endless hoard of Lava Beasts bent on your destruction! How long can YOU hold out?

Featuring classic, overhead 2D, arcade-action, requiring seriously extreme finger-flicking reflexes! This is NOT a game for people who content themselves
with playing Solitaire!

Thou hast been warned!

Completely fair gameplay. No unfair advantage given to the enemy, in higher difficulties.

Every difficulty is a new game unto itself, with different music, more levels, and different challenges to face.
