Fun gameplay and nice artstyle, but the difficulty kinda spiked after you get the second artifact. I went from having never died to losing all my lives in a single level =P

This is a really neat project! I was disappointed to find out that you stopped the development on it.

Any plans for a Linux version?

Any plans for a VR version?

No plans for VR. Just a minor update (1.1) and I'm going back to another game I was working.

I almost beat it in my first try T_T The timer takes ALL LIVES feels a bit unfair ;o should only take 1 life. Welp, here's my non-edited gameplay of it, showing my mad movement skills.
