Primal Light, built with the free and open source Godot Engine, is an action-platformer with pixel artwork that looks divine like some of the classics on Amiga and it's releasing on July 9. Linux support is also confirmed to be available right away.
"Inhabit Krog, a mysterious blue creature in a red loincloth, as he traverses a labyrinth of ladders, levers, traps, and monsters. Explore the nooks and crannies of a bizarre and evocative world as you hack and slash your way to victory, leaving a graveyard of grotesque bosses in your wake."
You can see the trailer below, and honestly I do think this looks slick. I have seriously fond memories of games like Gods, Shadow of the Beast and a ton more on Amiga that Primal Light somewhat resembles but with much crispier graphics.
Direct Link
Feature Highlight:
- Explore a bizarre and evocative world filled with ladders, levers, traps, and monsters, arranged linearly across 10 levels.

Hm, didn't know there was an itch client... but it needs yet another account creation. I'll think about it
Thanks for the tip !
Takes 5 seconds and can be done with any file manager or use the terminal:

Quoting: dpanterIf you rather download manually, you'll need to manually mark the binary primal-light-demo.x86_64 as executable before you can run it.

chmod +x primal-light-demo.x86_64
Thanks a lot, it worked! I remember trying to execute the files in it, but none of them was recognized as an executable file, I was just asked what should the files be opened with... and I had no clue :S:
