Try launching it from the Itch.io desktop app with Wine installed on your system. It ran perfectly for me that way on Ubuntu 20.04 - many Windows games do.
I'll tell you what I tell everyone who buts in with this crap: I know of wine, I have used it; submitted bug reports; and donated money to the project. I wasn't asking how the game ran in Wine, I was asking whether the developer had any plans for a native version.
I apologize for attempting to help, and won’t do it to you again. However, since this is a public comment thread, I will leave my comment there in case someone merely interested in playing the game wants to know how to do so on Linux.
In the future it would be beneficial to add your report to the Wine database, They don't even have this game listed yet so you could add it and your experience. If I am looking to find how a Windows game runs in Wine I check there first.
