Magma Run gameplay: the runner at the foot of an erupting volcano with a lava river warning on the ground
About the game

One finger. One runner. One very angry volcano.

Magma Run is a pick-up-and-play dodge game. Rocks erupt from the crater on real ballistic arcs and rain from the sky as the mountain builds up steam. You move left and right, that is all, but every close call, every ember streak and every lava river turns a simple dodge into a decision.

🪨

Real eruptions

Boulders launch from the crater with aimed and random trajectories, then speed up and multiply over two minutes of escalating intensity.

🔥

Embers are your economy

Glowing embers drift down mid-run. Catch them to fund the Forge and unlock new runners between eruptions.

🛡️

Permanent progress

Agility, hearts, a recharging shield, an ember magnet and fortune: five upgrades that make each run longer than the last.

How it works

Three steps, every run.

1

Steer

Drag anywhere and the runner follows your finger. Prefer buttons? Switch to left / right controls in Settings.

2

Dodge & collect

Weave between falling rocks, grab embers and read the banner: the volcano always warns you before it changes mood.

3

Forge

Spend embers on upgrades and new runners, then go back up the mountain stronger.

Signature mechanics

Four systems that make every run different.

These are not power-ups you pick up. They are rules of the mountain, and mastering them is the whole game.

📡

Rage & Shockwave

Let a boulder graze past instead of running far away. Five near misses fill the rage bar and release a shockwave that shatters every rock around you and scores for each one.

⚠️

Lava Rivers

Cracks start glowing on a strip of ground. Moments later it floods with lava for a few seconds. Standing in it costs a heart, so the safe side of the screen keeps changing.

⚡

Overdrive

Six embers in a row without taking damage turn the runner molten. For five seconds boulders shatter on contact, every ember counts double and the streak counter starts again.

🌋

Volcano Moods

A banner warns you, then the crater changes colour. Fury hurls dense, aimed rocks. Ash Rain drops them from the sky. Ember Shower is your harvest window.

Runners

Six heroes, one free, five to earn.

Every runner plays the same, so pick the one that feels like you. Unlock them with embers you collected yourself.
