Pyroclastic Go!

Recover lost knowledge as you escape the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Get jumping!

Ancient Greek scrolls billow from the heavens as they are tossed from the library at Herculaneum. Read them to improve your jumps and temporarily reduce gravity.

Don't worry if you die. Retry and your past thymoeides will aid you on your way. Reach half their height and press 'F' to free them, gaining the ability to shrink and navigate out of tough spaces.

Try to reach Olympus as quickly as possible, and make note of the game seed to beat your best time. A progress tracker with current lava height, your current height, and your maximum achieved height is displayed on the right side.
