No, it's a new game. It's supposed to be a sequel, so this is why it looks similar. But so far it's still early work, he's trying different size of sprites at the moment and he has yet decided what size he will go with.
That's one of the harder parts of the game, yeah. All I can say is that when it comes to avoiding obstacles like the acid drip, it's all about timing and visual reference. What I usually do is watch how often the acid drips and from where. It's mostly muscle memory, but some spots are fast enough that you can usually start moving a quarter before the drop hits the ground.
I disagree, i just held the walk button and she made it through after getting hit once. Results are repeatable on my end.
Jump around a lot and hit them. 2 melee hits to down a mage, then walk behind the creature to hit it before it jumps. Then dodge the spikes and repeat.
The Laboratory level was added and would be the devs last update for the game as he has a new project set in the same world as this one.
