We're only one week in and have already erupted straight through 4 stretch goals! Let's look at what we've unlocked, this week's livestreams and giveaways, and what's in store for future rewards!

And before I forget, enter this week's giveaway during Friday's livestream by commenting your favorite dinosaur movie on this post!

We hit 600 backers! That means we've unlocked my most anticipated addition to Lava Run, Co-Op Mode!! This new game mode is an extension of the single player version, where you work together to escape the volcano to the raft!

And don't forget about the 3 other stretch goals we've unlocked, including new Dino Tiles giving each character a special move, a new playable dinosaur, the Brontosaurus, and 2 new event tiles the Tsunami and Rainstorm!
 

Join the livestream on Wednesday where we'll be going through an overview of the prototype rules live, and play a game or two of the single player mode! The stream starts at 1pm PST on Wednesday 9/18 right here.

We'll also be live AGAIN on Friday, starting at night, where we'll be crocheting some dinos while we watch a movie! Join the Movie Night Slumber Party Crochet Along starting Friday (9/20) @6pm PST on the Club Crochet channel right here.

We've added a few more new stretch goals to work towards since y'all have absolutely BLASTED through the ones I had prepped! Thank you so much again!! Here are the next goals to reach:

1000 Instagram Followers - Unlock a new optional event tile to play with to add to the expanded rule set!

$75k Funds - Unlock a new playable dinosaur piece! We'll be voting on which design to add into the game!

We just released a brand new collaboration pattern on my site, Club Crochet! As a special extra thank you for all the support throughout this week, me and the designer, DrewbiesZoo, are releasing the new Parasaurolophus crochet pattern free to any backers of this project (as well as members of Club Crochet of course). 

Heads-up, this design is not small enough to be a playable piece in Lava Run, but it does crochet an adorable new dino, the Parasaurolophus! We'll have the option to unlock this dino as a playable piece if we reach our next stretch goal by the way!! 

You can find the downloadable PDF and video tutorial below if you are already a backer of the project ⬇️

😵‍💫 What is going on? This feels like a dream! $50k in 3 DAYS!?! Wow thank you all so so much for your support, this is so much more than I ever expected! While I did have plans just incase, y'all are going way faster than I was anticipating, but I can keep up... probably! Let's talk about all that this means, our next goals, the results of our last giveaway, and how you can enter another one!

Join today's stream to find out live the winners of our livestream giveaway, they'll each be winning a hand crocheted brontosaurus. You can also help me crochet the dinos on stream to be given away to today's winner because we're doing 2 more giveaways too! Our stream will begin at 2pm PST right here and hopefully our internet wont suddenly die mid stream this time 😅. 

We just hit $50k!? Okay I'll be honest I was NOT expecting to hit this so soon, if ever at all!! Luckily I had a plan and our lovely artist (thank you Dom!!) is helping out at warp speed to create our new assets on the spot! Here's what you unlocked for blasting through the last goal:

These new event tiles will be optional additions to your game, allow you to add additional complexity to your dash to survival! Clear the way and stop the lava in it's tracks with the new Tsunami and Rainstorm tiles! *These rules are still being tested and are not final!

Tsunami - Clears the bottom 4 rows of all lava tiles (pit's remain in place) and push back any dinos up to the 4th row.

Rainstorm - Remove 3 lava tiles of your choice on the board.

Want to support but can't afford the game? Thank you so much! I've added this new tier to allow you to help unlock further tiers and access backer exclusive content at a lower price point. Plus, you'll receive a free dino crochet pattern of your choice on launch!

Check out the And I Helped tier here, and please share it with anyone you think would like to help support!

Okay, I've got a really cool one to share that I've been saving, but you're going so fast that I decided to add in a new tier list to the campaign! This alternate tier list will unlock giveaways and weird planned twists that I was keeping secret!

600 Backers = New Co-Op Mode!! - UNLOCKED!

As promised, we're doing another double giveaway! To win one of the 2 hand crocheted brontosaurus made in today's livestream, comment below with what you would name your brontosaurus if you won!

We'll choose a winner at the start of our next livestream! 1 winner will be randomly chosen from the backers at the time, and 1 randomly from the comments below!
