Lava Factory

""Lava Factory features a few lava geysers which burst out of the bottom blast zone. Be careful not to get too close, or you'll end up in the hot seat!""

Lava Factory is a stage in Nexed, being based on the area of the same name from the 2021 release of Annalynn.

History
Lava Factory is the third area in the 2021 release of Annalynn, hosting the game's seventh, eighth, and ninth levels. The area introduces two hazards; Lava pits which kill Annalynn upon touch, and lava geysers which are triggered by buttons once Annalynn steps on one, erupting a few seconds afterward.

Lava Factory's theme is one of the most iconic music tracks in Annalynn, with a rendition of it being played in the game's release trailer and numerous fan-made covers being produced.

Layout
Lava Factory uses a tileset ripped directly from Annalynn, giving the stage a pixelated appearance identical to that of the original game's aesthetic. The background depicts a series of gears, pillars, and doorways, all with a red tint.

The stage takes place on one large, center platform, with three hard platforms and a soft platform being placed above it. The layout resembles a modified portion of Annalynn's seventh stage, which was also displayed on the game's Steam page.

Hazards

 * Lava Gesyers: If stage hazards are activated, a lava geyser will occasionally erupt from either the stage's left or right pit. Contact with the geyser causes multiple hits of damage before fighters are launched in the opposite direction.

Trivia

 * Music from Dig Dug and Spelunker were once present on the stage, but they were replaced with other tracks to feature more indie game music, specifically Alien Xenoblaster, a game released after Lava Factory was added to Nexed.
