Awesome! thanks for sharing, it's always a big help just to watch other people play. Your play style is remarkable controlled! Personally, I always get greedy and make a dash for those hard to reach coins, senators, etc. It burns me every time! ;)
And yes, the game does continue indefinitely although the lava does speed up a little bit each time you cycle through the levels again. Wish it could have had a few more levels, but ran out of time. Hope to add a few more as well as expose the level editor for a little bonus post-Jam release.
