Escape the rising lava of a dangerous volcano before it's too late! Your character walks automatically; you can tap the screen to jump. If you tap while against a wall, your character will also change direction by performing a wall jump. Find the best route up through the six unique zones using these simple controls while racing against the volcano’s lava. But watch out, if you get hit by a spike or fall in lava, you’ll have to restart from the bottom! The six areas: Rock Bottom - Intro Pink Passage - Bouncy Pads Blue Mine - Ice Blocks Green Factory - Fading Platforms Yellow Elevator - Two Updrafts Orange Opening - Low Lighting Each area has one coin to collect. Some are one jump away, but others are on extra paths entirely! To save each coin, you must bring it all the way back to the surface in one go!

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VolcanUp at none against Born Again Online's 4. VolcanUp also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 79%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Born Again Online's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (245 vs 26). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
