Control Overview
Escape The Lava uses standard Roblox locomotion plus one critical tool: the portable treadmill. On PC, press 1 to equip it. On mobile, tap the treadmill HUD icon. Mastering quick treadmill swaps is the difference between efficient training and wasted sessions.
Movement uses WASD or arrow keys on PC, virtual joystick on mobile. Jump with Spacebar or the jump button. Camera control via right-mouse drag helps read obstacle layouts before committing to a lava run.
