"This is a game of love, greed, exploration, friendship, and brutal fiery deaths" said lead developer Kris Steele. "It is a very accurate depiction of what it would be like to be in a volcano seeking treasures and stupidly taunting death. Someone would have to be really dumb to do this for real."

Volchaos is an ultra-challenging old school platformer. As a nameless explorer, you must navigate through dangerous volcanoes in search of precious gems you can use to pay off your mortgage, bad investments, and alimony. To further complicate matters, the lava is continuously rising and an array of enemies stands in your path. Will you become rich? Heck, you will be lucky to survive.

Looks kind of fun, but I don't give a rat's ass about Xblargh.
Might give it a try when you have a PC release.

I had a quick play, its a nice simple idea having to beat the lava (and tricky to try to get all the gems).

The UI doesnt look as polished as the level and character art, which seems a shame. If you ever get time I think it would be nice to improve the UI side of the game.

Thanks for playing. You're right, the UI has often been an afterthought in my games. I'll look into improving it a bit for the PC release. I did a lot for the PC release so far but I've been sidetracked on other projects lately. I need to get back to it.
