Reason

The bubbling sound of the theme is used as the “sound of magma,” and the main character is a salamander girl who controls magma in this action game.
Most of the action is done with only the stick. If a player knocks the stick forward, the salamander girl can release magma to melt blocks in her way, or if a player knocks the stick backwards and then release it, the girl can spray magma and jump in any direction.
I greatly enjoyed the feeling of these two actions, and once I understood the controls for crunching on the wall with the buttons, I could develop actions in surprise: “I didn't imagine I can move so far!”
On the other hand, though red arrows guide me, I was frustrated for not being able to jump to a target location in many scenes. It would have been nice to see further improvement in detailed operability.
I hope the entrant will continue to work on this and create more fun games in the future!

Work Introdution

The sound of the theme reminded the entrant of a “scene of magma buzzing around in the ground.”

An action game where a player controls Noah, a salamander girl, who controls magma, on her way to rescue her mother trapped in the deepest part of the dungeon.

The heroine Noah cannot jump by herself.
Instead, she manipulates magma, jumps, sticks to walls and ceilings, breaks obstacles, and runs across the stage in all directions.

The sound of the theme evokes a scene of “magma bubbling under the ground,” and the main character is based on the motif of magma, and the image is reflected in the game's worldview, including the stages and BGM.

Only a stick is required for movement and attacks.
Everyone can enjoy this game with its simple and clear controls to realize various actions.
