Survive Lava for Brainrots!

Survive Lava for Brainrots! is exactly what it sounds like -- you're running forward on a long, straight path while lava creeps up from behind. The core loop is simple: hold W or tap forward on mobile to keep moving, but the trick is that you can't just sprint mindlessly. Brainrots are scattered all over the ground ahead of you, and they're what you're after. Each one you pick up adds to your total, and that total is your only currency. You don't earn anything by surviving longer -- only by actually collecting those little glowing brain-shaped things before the lava eats them. The lava doesn't just kill you on contact -- it also destroys any Brainrots it touches, so if you're too slow or take a bad path, you lose potential income. That's the tension: speed vs. greed. Go too fast and you'll miss clusters of Brainrots tucked behind obstacles or on side platforms. Go too slow and the lava's right on your heels, forcing you to dodge through narrow gaps between fire pits and spike traps. Early levels like "Hot Start" and "Sizzling Sprint" are mostly straight lines with a few jumps. But by the time you hit "Magma Madness" and "Boiling Point," the game throws in moving platforms, collapsing bridges, and these annoying little fire spitters that shoot projectiles at you from the sides. The difficulty ramps up in a way that feels fair -- each new hazard gets introduced alone before being combined with others. The satisfying moment comes when you nail a perfect route through a dense cluster of Brainrots, weaving between obstacles, and then leap over a lava wave just as it crests behind you. That split-second timing feels great. Between runs, you spend your Brainrots on upgrades. There's a tree with two main branches: one for your runner (speed, jump height, a shield that blocks one hit per run) and one for your base. The base upgrade lets you place more Brainrots at the start of each run -- more Brainrots means more potential earnings per run, but also more stuff to dodge around early on. There's also a "Passive Brainrot" upgrade that gives you a small trickle of currency even when you're not playing, which is nice for slow progress. Later runs introduce a "Brainrot Magnet" that pulls nearby ones toward you, and a "Double Brainrot" modifier that sometimes spawns pairs. The game doesn't explain any of this upfront -- you just figure it out as you unlock levels. There's no story, no characters, just running, collecting, and upgrading. The sound is a constant heartbeat thump that gets faster as lava gets closer, which actually helps you feel the pressure.
