About
The Art of Dying is a really challenging platformer I've made in AGS. It features two difficulty levels (really hard and unbelievably really f*cking hard), a six level campaign and a full-featured level editor.
You can make your own levels, then share them and find others to download and try to beat yourself on the official level sharing platform: http://dkh.agser.me/die. Gamepads and other external controllers are fully supported, although the controls work nicely on keyboard as well.

there's no link somewhy (and this thing on some old game pages too)
there's just blank page after clicking 'download'
Thank you for the Best Non-Adventure Game and Best Programming AGS awards! You rock.
How was this created with AGS is beyond me. Amazing stuff! If you think you're good with platformers go on and play it... And go back to being a noob again! Ha!
This game is madness. Go. Play it. NOW.
