How the game changes
- Begin with Gym Class unlocked. Access to Playground, School, Wholesale, Master Class, Basement and Rocco's Arcade arrives as world items. All seven areas are included in this APWorld version.
- Movement abilities join the item pool, alongside Pogo, Tiny Toy and Jetpack access when their trials are enabled. The generator models ability requirements for individual course stars.
- Course completion provides checks. Options can add timed, no-death, collectible, challenge and buddy stars, plus selected trial categories and all-course marathons.
- Victory is fixed to all six Master Class course completions and its Pogo, Tiny Toy and Jetpack trials. Keep those trial checks enabled because the victory rule still requires them if their individual check toggles are disabled.
- Characters, accessories and decals provide additional rewards, with XP shards filling any remaining space. An optional trap percentage introduces temporary slow effects.
- DeathLink is optional. The reviewed client sends a shared death after five qualifying local death events, rather than after every fall; incoming DeathLink events kill the local player.
Before you start
- This listing covers the Windows Steam game with BepInEx. Install hot_lava.apworld 0.1.0 for generation and the separate HotLavaArchipelago 0.1.1 plugin from Thunderstore, including its BepInExPack 5.4.2305 dependency. The two components intentionally have different version numbers.
- Follow the plugin's current instructions: launch modded, create a new profile, finish the introduction, press Esc and open the Archipelago menu. Enter the room address, port, exact slot name and any password, then connect. Older chat-command instructions are not the current recommended route.
- Keep Pogo, Tiny Toy and Jetpack stars enabled for this release. Although these toggles exist, the generator's victory rule still looks up their Master Class completion locations when disabled, unlike the client's filtered goal check. The supplied defaults leave all three enabled.
- Use a separate new profile for each seed and do not switch slots inside an existing campaign. The reviewed connection code does not establish a persistent seed-and-slot binding that would protect a reused profile from the wrong room.
- Stay connected while collecting checks. After a failed login, disconnect and reconnect or restart before continuing: the client's connected flag can be set even after a refused login. A displayed connection state alone is not proof that the server accepted your slot.
- Reconnecting processes received items again, including XP and temporary effects. The reviewed client does not promise exactly-once delivery for every filler or trap. Connection settings can include a locally stored password; keep configuration files private.
- Use a trusted room and back up your normal profiles before installing. Panludia reviewed the published packages, instructions and relevant source, but has not independently completed a game with these builds or verified native Linux or macOS support.
