That's true. I was simply giving out the information that this game can work on Itch for Linux, and it's fairly easy because the Itch app will run Wine for you. Not saying that it's the best way or anything. Again, if I hadn't gotten it for free I would've just bought it via Steam. GOG is also a good choice.

Fwiw, if you download the Itch client and buy the Windows version of this game, you can run it via Wine. The Itch client supports Wine and will run Windows games automatically via Wine if you have a Windows game installed.
This game works great with Wine, albeit with two issues: 1. The mouse can move outside of the game window onto other monitors, and 2. If you Alt+Tab and then get back into the game, you can no longer control your character and have to restart the game. It autosaves very well so for the 2-3 times I had to restart no progress was lost.
I would just buy it on Steam if I hadn't gotten a free copy of the game for Itch.
Hey, thanks for playing! Listened to your portfolio - I'd love to have you on a future project! I may expand this game, but I am moving from C# to Rust in Godot and I don't particularly want to translate it to Rust lol. But maybe.
Anyways, here's the credits: https://git.sr.ht/~kmdodrill/exterminator/tree/master/README.md
Very nice looking game, love the art and atmosphere. Good job with the lighting, and the music / sfx also fit very nicely with this. My only complaint is that I really wish you had WASD controls in your game, I have to hold the Fn key on my keyboard to use the arrow keys so it's pretty uncomfortable to make those jumps and stuff. But overall good job! nice animations too
Really cute and fun. The pixel art is so good. The colors all work together and I love how it looks realistic while still maintaining a classic, charming look. My only small issue is that WASD controls would very much be appreciated - I have to hold down the Fn key on my keyboard to use my arrow keys, so it was a little uncomfortable. I'm sure most players won't have an issue with that though :)
Neat idea, wish I could have gotten farther...the game doesn't capture my mouse on Linux (tried Esc like in another comment), so I wasn't able to turn around. Still walked around and got to the loading screen...tried many forms of input but couldn't figure it out. Advice?
EDIT: Holding off on rating this btw, wouldn't want to rate without getting the whole experience :)
I like the art and sounds, and the music fits in well. It gets a little spooky further in and I like the atmosphere you set up with the lights. Platforming sections were pretty good, I like the wall climbing mechanic (but maybe reduce the amount of times the jump sound occurs, or change it to something else while on the wall).
Nice job, I really liked this one! Interesting concept, the pixel art looks great and the music fits in well. The only issue I had was the controls - I'd really prefer there to be an option for WASD because I have to hold the Fn key when using arrows on my keyboard. That's just me though, the majority of players I'm sure are fine :)
Love the art, movement of the character and other objects in the game are smooth, and the music / sfx fit the game very well. My only complaint is that WASD controls don't seem to work properly - I can't jump with W. I have to hold the Fn key to use my arrow keys so it's a bit hard for me to move. Anyways, I still enjoyed it and had fun :)
