About Lava Climb

Lava Climb is a multiplayer platform race for friends: race up a tower while the lava rises beneath you. Jump, wall-jump and grab ledges, land on someone's head to knock them down a floor, and be first to the top.

Up to 8 climb a tower together: jungle mushrooms throw you high, volcano ledges crumble under you, and the ice tower is slippery. The host sets how fast the lava rises and whether head stomps are on. With more of you, everyone climbs at once in towers of up to 8. A Summit Cup takes you up a new tower each climb, over 3 or 5 climbs, and the most points wins.
