is there a way to play in fullscreen mode (linux)?

There isn't a way to toggle fullscreen mode from inside the game, but most desktop environments on Linux have a way of putting applications in fullscreen mode via keyboard shortcuts. For example, on XFCE (what I use) its Alt+F11.

Hope that helps!

oh my god... i've been using XFCE for years now, and didn't know this :D

thanks a lot, that works nicely! (and will be useful for tons of other games/applications too :D )

Please tell me how can I save my game and How can I change my controls plz reply

Hi! Times are saved after you complete each crypt. So if you quit part way though one, then you will have to redo those levels again next time you boot up the game. And I'm sorry, but there is currently no way to rebind the controls.

Really loving the game!
I'm not too sure about the chains though.. Did you consider making them cancel your sideways momentum when you "grab" them, by moving up or down on them?
I feel like that would make it a bit more 'tight' and not decrease the skill at all, especially you're required to press ON the chain, like, you can't just hold up while you're flying towards it. Does that make sense?

Thank you! I did consider removing momentum when grabbing onto a climbable surface, but thought it was better to be consistent throughout the game instead of having some actions carry momentum and some not.

Its definitely something to consider tweaking though if I ever want release an updated version!

Looks like Bruce Lee! I like

Pure old school genius !!
