Floor Is Lava Friends

Tap the 👯 Friends button on the bottom menu to search for players by username, send friend requests, and build a friends list. Once you're friends, you can see each other on a dedicated Friends leaderboard and race their ghost run in Climber mode.

What it does

The Friends panel has three tabs: My Friends (your current friends list, sorted with Premium friends first), Requests (incoming requests to accept or decline, and outgoing requests you're waiting on), and Search (find a player by typing their username).

Friends aren't just a list — they unlock a Friends tab on the leaderboard. It works like the other per-mode leaderboard tabs, but only shows you and your friends, and you can switch it between Climber, Frogger, Timer, Cavern, and Versus to compare each mode separately. Each friend's row shows their best score, a 👑 badge if they're Premium, and a live online/offline status dot.

Friends also unlock ghost racing: from your Friends list you can tap Race on any friend who has a recorded Climber run, and you'll race against their saved "ghost" — you win the moment you climb past their best platform. It's a friendly race with no leaderboard score submitted and no coin-loss penalty if you fall.

You'll also get a notification when a friend accepts your request, when a friend of yours cracks the Community top 10, or when a friend records a new ghost run you can race against.

How to add a friend

  1. Tap the 👯 Friends button on the bottom navigation bar.
  2. Open the Search tab and type at least 2 characters of the username you're looking for, then tap Find (or just wait — it searches as you type).
  3. Tap + Add next to the player you want. This sends them a friend request — you'll see "Pending" until they respond.
  4. The other player opens their own Friends panel, goes to Requests, and taps Accept or Decline. Accepting adds you to each other's friends list immediately, both ways.
  5. You can cancel a request you sent (from the Requests tab, while it's still pending) or remove an existing friend at any time from the My Friends tab.
Can't find someone? A player only becomes searchable after they've opened the current version of the game at least once, so their username gets indexed. If a search comes up empty, ask them to open the game and try again a little later.
