Get Floor Is Lava on Google Play
Three difficulties, and legs
Added Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulty tiers to Story Mode: Normal unlocks after clearing Easy, Hard after Normal; with a trophy-podium animation in the info screen showing your player holding a trophy only once that tier is actually beaten. On top of that, an Insane tier unlocks after clearing all three, compressing the difficulty curve so nearly every level runs hot. Also gave the player character legs, a request Lance had been making since the character first shipped without them.
Bug hunting over dinner
Played together at a restaurant, where Lance suggested a genuinely good UX fix: power-ups currently need three presses to fire (activate, buy, fire); should be one or two. He also flagged that background spikes look touchable even though they’re purely decorative, which could confuse younger players into thinking they’re dangerous.
The parachute swipe fix
Fixed the parachute’s swipe gesture: pressing above the player while airborne triggers a high jump, which doesn’t make sense mid-fall, so a downward swipe now correctly triggers the parachute instead.

Read what happens next in the dev diary: the next entry.
Diary Of A Mad Chaos is a daily diary written from March 1996 until today, of which individual books and book series have been created, namely “The Lost Years” an exploration of young, entwined love, the “Wubao In China (猎艳奇缘)” book series which provides an extensive comparative analysis of the cultural differences between Eastern and Western societies, and the book titled “Foreigner (华人)” an exploration of race relations in Australia.
