Any chance of a Linux version?

We have such few vertical shooters on Linux. Because of this, porting this game might be able to corner the huge Linux market :).

Why don't you install Windows to play games ?

This game works fairly well with Wine

Not counting the ethical, security, privacy, financial and technical reasons not to use Windows, consider that bringing a system down just to play some game is an absurdly disproportionate inconvenience.

Most of us would just play some other game instead.

I would've never gotten this game in my library hadn't it come bundled with the rest of the Humble Weekly Bundle, even if it were available at no cost. And I appreciate a good bullet hell game.

I'll probably not look at or think of this game again until it gets ported.

I have no Windows system installed on any of my machines, and the median time I spend using Windows systems per month is zero.

A+ (although I do keep a copy of Windows for certain games)

I used to do that a number of years ago, but I ended up never really using it and it fell into disrepair, so I got rid of it.

Now that I think of it, I stopped having a copy of Windows as a matter of fact, years before I really found reasons to refuse having a copy of it.

If a game is Japanese, chances of a Linux port are way slimmer than they would have been otherwise. The best thing that could happen is a port made by third party, like Eryi's Action or La-Mulana.

If someone familiar with this game tech-wise is reading this - does QP Shooting use DxLib?

This game now works on Linux via the new Steam Play beta!

I played up to the end of the third stage and only found two problems so far:

1. I had to disable ESYNC to get past the .NET Framework installation step.
If you have the same problem, try putting this in the game's launch options: PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%

2. The font for dialog and some places in the menus doesn't look very good and tends to overflow. The game's probably trying to use a system font that's not avaliable and falling back to a different font, which has different metrics.

@Major maybe open an issue like this one https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/559 ? I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do, but might be good to report the issue to Valve also. Maybe they can improve it.

It's weird about ESYNC.
Last week I tried, the game didn't start until `PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%` was added.
Today I tried without this params, and the game started normally.
