WONDERFUL WINTER UPDATE
Greetings, Hot Lava fans. The winter update you’ve been waiting for is here, and boy is it a good one!

GAME CENTER MATCHMAKING
Now you can find friends to compete against even if they’re not nearby. Using iOS/tvOS 15+ or macOS 12+, add friends using the Game Center pop-up and you’ll be able to run through levels with your best buds. Compete for the best time or, if you’re really feeling friendly, help them find a shortcut to the finish.

MUTANT MAYHEM!
Get ready for Mutant Mayhem! A whole new in-game toy universe set in a world that’s been transformed by an evil alien mutagen bomb. Rambull and Stinkbomb arrive in this update, complete with their own unique unlockable items, taunts and Action Files. Jump in and try them out! (psst - there will be more Mutant Mayhem arriving soon!)

JETPACK TRIALS
Keep your eyes peeled for an amazing new trial we’ve sprinkled into all of the main levels. Much like the Pogo and Tiny Toy trials, entering a Jetpack trial will launch you into whole new gameplay where you zoom through a unique new area with a high-powered jet engine strapped to your back.

NEW MENU
You may notice we now have a snazzy new menu to make it easier to navigate the game. Rest assured there will be more of this to come in future updates.

GAT SKINS AND MORE!

A brand new update brings two brand new members to the T.O.X.I.C. roster: Poizone’s robotic army, the Infected Infantry! And Lord Sludge’s molten magma monster form, the Megamortabeast!


*NEW! Vault Jump Ability*

Along with these hot new characters comes one cool new move, the Vault Jump! Give yourself an extra boost to reach those platforms that are just a *little* too far away. And if you’re bummed you can’t test out this new move with your favorite characters...well we’ve got some news for you!


*NEW! Choice*

We’ve decoupled abilities from their characters so you can now use any character you want with any ability: Sue Nami with Double Jump; Poizone with Boost; Hazard with Slide Jump - go ahead and mix it up!

You also might notice some slick new UI in the game designed to make your lava jumping experience all the more pleasant.


*NEW! Items*

Every character’s progression levels have been bumped up to 60 possible levels. So get in there and jump around to unlock some new stickers, action files, emotes, and new skins. As an added bonus we’re also giving everyone free Sea Stealth G.A.T. skins for this Spring update, just because we love you all so much.

If you can’t get enough of all things G.A.T., there are all new G.A.T. lore descriptions for Head, Back, and Trinket accessories. Read through them all to learn about the exploits of all your favorite characters.


*NEW! Controls*

We’ve added support for Apple’s Game Controller remapping system so you can make any button any other button... anywhere!

A super-huge update for all our super-great Hot Lava fans! Along with the traditional assortment of fixes and optimizations, we have some exciting big additions.

HOT LAVA AR

The LiDAR Scanner on the new iPad Pro transforms your living room into a lava-filled obstacle course. This technology allows the game to interact with the real world like never before: blurring the lines between the physical and virtual world. Place Hot Lava objects into your living room so you can climb your walls, jump on your furniture, and dodge molten lava cracks using everyone’s favorite silent G.A.T. member: Hazard!

NEW CHARACTERS

Bring on the bad guys! The diabolical duo Lord Sludge and Poizone make their Hot Lava debut bringing with them a whole new heinous set of moves. With “Poizone’s Pounce” players can defy gravity with a powerful double jump while “Sludge’s Slime Surge” gives players a surf boost wherever they want. Plus watch Sludge and Poizone in action in a brand-new G.A.T. cartoon playing in the Basement world.

TOY LEVEL UP

Take your characters to the next level by collecting our glowing lava crystals: hit checkpoints, finish courses, and collect the new XP shards scattered throughout the game. Leveling up each character unlocks brand new items and features, including exciting new full-body Skins and lore-filled Action Files so you quiz your friends on G.A.T. trivia. Each character unlocks unique content so be sure to try them all!

FIND YOUR FRIENDS

We've added matchmaking support for Nearby Players so you can more easily join your friends on the same wifi network or within bluetooth range. Find the list of Nearby Players on the main menu.


Take care, have fun, and stay off the floor!

Spring is here! What better way to celebrate a new season than with new ways to jump, boost, and surf: A new community-created map “Sunshine Shore”; a new Chase course in School; and a revitalizing energy drink to put some pep in your step. Take a leap and see what’s in bloom!

CONTROLS

You can now swap touch control movement between directional pad and virtual analog stick. Open the in-game menu and click the button in the upper left corner.

MUSIC

You can now listen to your own music while you boost through the world of Hot Lava. This option is on by default, but you can turn off “Prioritize Other Audio” in Settings if you miss those Hot Lava jams.

SUNSHINE SHORE

What says “spring” better than getting ready for summer? “Sunshine Shore” delivers six beach-themed courses in this new Klei-curated Community Map. Experience fun in the sun and some scorching hot sand that’ll toast your tootsies — so stay off the ground!

Completing each course unlocks a unique beach-themed accessory. Collect all six!

NEW COURSE

By popular demand, we’ve added an all-new ‘Chase Your Sister’ course to replace the challenging ‘Chase the Grade’ course in School. This new course is more on par with the other ‘Chase’ courses in the game, so if you’ve been stuck trying to get past this level, give it another try.

Those looking to score another A+ can still access their beloved ‘Chase the Grade’ as a trial in Mrs. DeAngelis’ art room. Complete it to unlock a new item.

ENERGY DRINK

For those speed demons who are looking to put an extra pep in their step we’ve added a new energy drink — “EdgyX” — so loaded with energy just holding it will give your character an extra boost. If you get thirsty in a course, you’ll have to back out to the overworld to refresh yourself: EdgyX cans can be found in all the overworlds.


And of course we have our usual crop of bug fixes, performance improvements, and visual upgrades to make the game run better on your device. Additionally, we tuned challenge times to be more achievable.

Take care, have fun, and stay off the floor!
