IMPORTANT WHEN UPDATING: Principia 1.5.2 now stores its user data in scoped app storage as compared to in the shared storage. If you have existing levels and data saved locally you will need to manually migrate it to the new location. (See Accessing Android Data Directory for how to access)

Problems, crashes or bugs? Ask in the Discord server or open an issue on Github.

If you fancy something else, see the Bithack Game Archive Index.
