[h2]WONDERFUL WINTER UPDATE
[/h2]Greetings, Hot Lava fans. The winter update you’ve been waiting for is here, and boy is it a good one!

[h2]MUTANT MAYHEM!
[/h2]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!)

[h2]JETPACK TRIALS
[/h2]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.

[h2]NEW MAIN MENU
[/h2]We have refreshed the main menu making it easier to access the choices that matter! Over time new features have been added to the main menu, with this update we took the time to reorganize it so each option is easier to find.

[h2]GAT SKINS AND MORE!
[/h2]We’ve also thrown in some free new Night Fight camouflage skins for all your favorite G.A.T. characters. Additionally, the ever-helpful Sue will now lead you from course to course in the level overworld so you’ll never get lost finding your way to the next challenge. And we’ve added plenty of bug fixes and optimizations to improve your Hot Lava experience.

As always, stay cool, stay safe and stay off the floor!

[h2]AWESOME AUGUST UPDATE[/h2]
Hello Hot Lava fans! August is here and we’re bringing the heat for the final days of summer with a scorching new update!
[h2]DAILY CHALLENGES[/h2]
New ‘Daily Challenges’ give you even more reason to jump into Hot Lava on the regular. New rewards are up for grabs - Every. Single. Day. Complete the challenges for some fantastic daily rewards. If you get doubles, don’t fret, we’ve got an exciting new system that addresses that...
[h2]NEW WAYS TO EARN ACCESSORIES[/h2]
With this update we’ve given our items system a major upgrade - an amazing new feature to ‘recycle’ doubles, or items you don’t want, for tickets you can use to get gear. Instead of just winning items at the completion of level challenges, you can now earn them through this new tickets system. Some super special items will only be available this way! It’s never been easier to get the accessories you want.
[h2]NEW CHALLENGES [/h2]
Speaking of items we’ve also added a lot of new challenges to every ‘Curated by Klei’ Map so it’s even easier to pick up some new accessories. Over 99 new challenges to complete, which not only gives you more chances at in-game swag, but also means that Max Player Rank has gone up by a-lot! Jump in to outrank your friends before they beat you to it!
[h2]MARVELOUS NEW MAP[/h2]
As if all that wasn’t enough, we’ve also added a brand new, Klei-curated Community Map ‘Journey’! Travel through 6 different locations from City to Farm, Harbor to Forest, all with their own unique challenges. Explore these all new Levels and pick up some new items along the way.

As always, stay cool, stay safe and stay off the floor!
