Linux/SteamOS Support is Now Available!

Linux support has been tested and is now live for everyone! If you are a Linux/SteamOS user let me know if it works for you too or if you have any specific issues!

Thanks!

With the Steam Link Big Picture mode, the game appears only on my desktop display. The TV I hooked up my steam link shows a black screen and just a normal mouse icon. Is that normal?

Hmmm, that's odd, I will look into it. Sorry you're having issues with that. I have not tested Big Picture or Steam Link yet. If you could let me know what OS version are you using and if it is fully working on your machine without Steam Link and Big Picture? I'll try to get to the bottom of this...

Thanks for bringing another local multiplayer game to linux! I just bought it and it appears to be working pretty flawlessly. I did have some troubles with audio not working until I realized that my headphones weren't plugged in. I haven't tried it with more than one player yet but hopefully I'll get the chance soon.

Great! Haha classic!

Thanks for getting involved at this early stage! And letting me know that it's working for you, it's a big help. I hope you have a great time with the multiplayer! I'd love to hear your feedback when you do get the chance!

Hello, thanks for the feedback. I forgot to mention that I'm on Windows10, but I was mistaken in posting to this post when I saw SteamOS and mixed up Steam Link Big Picture and the OS. But yea, it works fully on my machine, but it displays weirdly when coupled with the Steam Link.

Played it earlier today with 3 people, worked fine as far as I could tell with my 2 Logitech F310s. It even picked up a PS2 controller with an adapter fine, with Triangle being boost and Circle being shoot.

EDIT: Just remembered one thing that was a bit off: Death match mode. The match ended whenever one person died (which might be intentional), but it assigned the kill to whoever it felt like. It wasn't always the last person to touch the dead player, or the person farthest to the right on screen, or the person with the highest health or highest energy, or lowest of either, or anything else we could see. One thing we did notice was that Player 3 never got a point. If Player 2 died, P1 got the point. If P1 died, P2 got the point. If P3 died, it seemed to be tossed at one of the other two at random.

Thanks for playing Different55, this is good, I may be able to start building a list of supported controllers. This sounds like a bug for sure, winner should always be either the last man standing, or finish-line crosser in race mode. I'll look into it today, were you in Elimination mode? (The laser keeps moving up closer)

Thanks Termineighbor I'm going to try test Steam Link/Big Picture myself. Although I don't have a Win10 machine to test right now...

Yep, we were in Elimination. First person to die ended the game. In racing mode, it was last man standing like you'd expect.

Can't seem to replicate this one by myself right now

hopefully it can be solved in the future. Let me know if you notice it happening again.

Sure thing, I'll play around with it some more later today just by myself and see if I notice anything that might help. If you want I can see if I can get it on film.

Thanks! Yeah that could probably help a lot. I can't imagine what would cause it right now.

Alright something seriously screwy must have been going on yesterday, I can't replicate it anymore. Now it appears to be working like it should. If it ever pops up again I'll be sure to record it, though.
