while smooth locomotion would sort of defeat the core mechanic of the game, i did just release an update that lets you teleport to any location where you killed an enemy, whenever you want. Hope that is close enough to what you wanted!
Amazing! Thank you! Can't wait to try it out and make it through some of the levels I was struggling with 😅
The option is in the main menu on the right. Its called "Tombstone Teleport" under the Mods section.
