This game is open source! You can find its source code at its  GitHub repository. While the tools are not very user-friendly yet, if you feel like getting into the code you can build new levels for the game with a drag-and-drop level editor, or modify the game as you please. Here is a second repository that's intended to be a more generic version of the engine, meant to be a cleaner starting point for a new game.
