Soundtrack is now available
The arranged soundtrack for 'THOTH' by composers Cristian Vogel and SØS Gunver Ryberg is now available for purchase. The album represents an artist impression of the video game audio world, rather than a direct documentation of the in-game score.

Update: Major Difficulty Adjustments
The "THOTH Have Mercy" update is now live. We have been going through the feedback we have received, watched countless of youtube / twitch vids, and we admit that the game was indeed too hard and frustrating for it's own good. This update tackles three major points of criticism:
The "THOTH Have Mercy" update is now live. We have been going through the feedback we have received, watched countless of youtube / twitch vids, and we admit that the game was indeed too hard and frustrating for it's own good. This update tackles three major points of criticism: The game is too punishing and repetitive, the game is too fast or hard to control, and the end-game is too difficult. Changelog:Original post- A "second chance" mechanic has been added. Instead of losing progress when you die in a stage, you get another chance on that same stage but with lava as walls. This feels much more fair, balanced and fun.
- The game is 10% slower, both player movement and enemy movement. This makes avoiding enemies easier, and puts more focus on making smart decisions in the heat of battle.
- The second procedural challenge has been cut down from 16 rooms to 12, and the stages have been tweaked to be a bit easier.
- The first four levels are much easier.
- The two final challenges are now "inverted mode", a remixed version of the normal 64 stages, but without checkpoints. This is intentionally super hard, but is much more manageable with the new "second chance" mechanic.
- Some players requested being able to mute the game, so 'm' now mutes all audio.
- The Bastet and Anubis achievements now only require you to beat 8 and 16 levels in a row, instead of 16 and 32.
- Finally, two new achievements for completing the inverted challenges have been added, and the achievement for completing the no longer existing lava challenge has been renamed to "Zet", the username of the only player who proved unlocking all achievements in the original release. To unlock this achievement you have to beat the inverted challenge without using a second chance.

Keyboard + mouse controls have been added
The game can now be played using WASD (or arrow keys) + mouse for aiming. Tip: Note that you move MUCH faster when you don't shoot. Use it to your advantage. You can play coop with only one controller attached too, so one player uses keyboard + mouse and the other the controller.

Thanks, Oth: 140 Dev Announces New Shmup, Thoth
Platform game 140 got Graham a-groovin’ and a-boppin’ back in 2013 with cheery rhythmic bouncing quite different to designer Jeppe Carlsen’s work on gothdeath bouncer Limbo. Well, the years since then have seen Carlsen release another grimgrim platformer with the Limbo lot, Insid
Original postPlatform game 140 got Graham a-groovin’ and a-boppin’ back in 2013 with cheery rhythmic bouncing quite different to designer Jeppe Carlsen’s work on gothdeath bouncer Limbo. Well, the years since then have seen Carlsen release another grimgrim platformer with the Limbo lot, Inside, and apparently work on another colourful project of his own. Over the weekend, Carlsen announced Thoth [Steam page], a colourful shoot ’em up that’ll be published by Double Fine in October. It’s got local co-op and all. Here, check out the teensy announcement trailer:
