≡ Lava Climb [Rising Lava] ≡ – Gorilla Tag Custom Map by GrossAcid

≡ Lava Climb [Rising Lava] ≡ is a small custom map for Gorilla Tag, made by GrossAcid and published on mod.io. The creator’s one-line pitch: “Get into position at the bottom of the pit, press the button and start huffing your way back to the top before the lava gets you. All players hit by the lava are put into Jail until the round resets.” It’s tagged on mod.io as challenge, competitive, so that’s the kind of session to expect.
