About this game

Mini Lava School is a free platformer game for kids ages 6-8. A tiny student with a backpack runs and jumps through 30 short school-themed levels, hopping across colorful platforms above bubbling lava to reach the classroom door at the end of each stage.

Levels are generated with rising challenge: moving hazards sweep along set paths, timed lava geysers burst from below, and a mid-level checkpoint means a fall only sends you partway back. A falls counter tracks attempts, and four local character skins let kids pick their look.

The game runs in the browser with keyboard or on-screen touch controls - no downloads, ads, accounts or chat. It suits kids who love the floor-is-lava fantasy and want an arcade challenge that stays fair and friendly.

How to play

  1. Move with the arrow keys, or hold the on-screen left and right buttons.
  2. Jump with the up arrow, space bar or the jump button.
  3. Cross the platforms, dodge moving hazards and timed lava geysers.
  4. Touch the checkpoint flag so falls send you back only halfway.
  5. Reach the classroom door to clear the level - 30 levels await.
