lilGunBois has been ported to Linux!!! Along with linux support I've also added a menu system to the pause screen that you can use to exit the game or to switch to fullscreen mode and I've changed it so that now you only jump when you press the jump button (you won't jump infinitely just from holding it).
There are now a bunch more keys mapped to all the same actions. Requiring anyone without a gamepad to use a mouse was less than ideal and a few people were having trouble even figuring out that the game expected it of them.
The game also now scales up to match the window's size (as best it can without changing the aspect ratio). So you'll have way less empty space now if you play with the window maximized. It does still actually render in 1280x720 though. Meaning that there's now the potential for pixels to get scaled unevenly (which is why it used to only scale up by like full even multiples of 1280x720). I figured this would be an acceptable trade off for most people though. It shouldn't be too noticeable.
lilGunBois is a challenging little side view 2d platform action shooting experience with a pixelated retro look! Do your best to skillfully dodge bullets and make your way through all 15 levels while racking up points along your way! Once you beat the game you'll get to start over again in an even more challenging new game plus mode that cuts your health in half and doubles the amount of points you get for each enemy that gets taken down.
Controls
You can play with a gamepad (using the dpad to move, the a button to jump, and the x button to shoot) or a keyboard and keyboard (using a and d or left and right to move, space or z to jump, and x or the left mouse button to shoot).
Saving
There's steam cloud save support and the game automatically saves your progress every time you die or beat a level.
