you don't have to make a native linux version. Wine handles it very well. But if you wanna make, just make it. As a linux user i thought it would be helpful i say this. bye.

Oh great! When I was trying to make the native Linux port (or rather when a friend who uses Linux tested it), it worked fine apart from that it couldn't read the metadata file, which meant there info in the map selection menu wasn't showing up. So just to confirm, does that work fine when using wine? And do custom maps load ok? (there's one included in the game, just a copy of Raise Up Your Bat, which are supposed to load in the custom map menu)

I am running the game through wine and it seems to be feature complete. Metadata works and there is no issue playing or loading custom songs. Us linux users appreciate native ports, but they are not necessary! If there are other things you'd rather work on, feel free.

Helloo, I just switched to Linux and have no idea how to make Wine run the file, could you help me? No worries if not.

hi there! which distro are you using. it actually doesnt matter. just download the wine package with your package manager.

For Ubuntu/Debian = sudo apt install wine

For Fedora = sudo dnf install wine

For Arch = sudo pacman -S wine

Once it’s installed, you can run a Windows executable like this: wine yourfile.exe

If it doesn’t work, try running winecfg first — it’ll set up Wine’s environment.

Let me know what error you get if it still won’t run 👍

sometimes wine doesnt show up when opening .exe files. be sure everything's up to date and have a wonderful day :D
