Hi Lumenights - thanks for the supportive comments :)
The reason there's no linux build on itch is because I don't have a way to add executable permissions that the linux build needs to run correctly (unless there's a way to do that on windows i don't know about. i would gladly take help if you have it). Steam brute-forces the permissions process, so that's why I put linux/steamOS builds on there. I didn't feel it would be fair to upload a linux build on Itch if I didn't have a way to make it run properly out of the box.
I'm not sure how the process works for making games ive never made one teehee.. but maybe by using WSL you can set the execution permissions using the chmod command (??) before shipping the file off to itch? i'm not sure but it could be a good lead!

This game is extremely wonderful, I'm having a lot of fun with it, its so colorful and challenging and the music is amazing too!
However I noticed theres no Linux download on itch! I had to use my steam code to play the linux version
