Dialing Down the Heat: Substantial Lava Nerfs 🔥🐢
Having sifted through the screams and pleas of our employees, it appears the current lava has been a touch too torturous. So, in a rare act of mercy, we've decided to turn down the heat and reduce the lava speed in the following levels:
- Hell 1: 4, 5, 6, 7, 10
- Hell 2: 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20
- Hell 3: 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30
- Hell 4: 37, 40
- Hell 5: 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50
- Hell 6: 51, 52, 53, 54, 57, 60
And for all you new employees out there, we've also thrown in two new tutorials to ensure our workers can suffer through their tasks with maximum efficiency.
