Its a great game, from the little I have played, but it runs so poorly its probably not woth bothering in its current state.

Tinker Steps:Switch to older version: 9.0-2

Input:Inaccuracy, Lag

Performance:Significant Performance Problems

It renders at an acceptable rate, but signifigantly slows down all other programd and I get an unacceptable input delay (1 to 8 seconds it seems)

Previous issue with longer runs resolved in Update 04 "Into the Blue" released October 2024. Still doesn't launch with regular Proton for me. Had an issue once were it didn't launch with Proton Experimental, but worked after trying again.

Input:Controller Mapping

Upon initial startup with a Google Stadia controller connected via USB, character always moves in North-West direction. Restarting the game fixes the issue.

Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental

Instability:Occasionally

Crashed once the only time I tried a longer than 5 stage run. Appears that the further into a run I get, the more performance and stability issues arise.

Required Proton Experimental to launch. Mostly fine with Proton Experimental. Longer runs may encounter issues.

when launching, desktop would warn the game is unresponsive

My desktop would warn me that the game is unresponsive when initially starting it. However, after selecting the wait option (a few times) the game behaved as expected.

Game just worked out of the box. I'm using KDE running on X11 not Wayland.

Game doesn't allow to rebind keys and I'm not running QWERTY so I used AHK_X11 and wrote a simple autohotkey script to rebind the keys - all worked as easy as using the autohotkey under Windows.
