Wanted to play this game but doesn't seems to work with wine :( I've see you use love, so maybe we can have a linux build ?

We don't have a Linux build because there's no way to distribute a portable Love2D project for Linux. HOWEVER, you can still run it!

If you have Love2D installed on your system, you can download the Windows build, unzip the folder, and run "love Sylvie.exe" and it runs fine, natively! I've only tested this on Debian, so let me know if it works for you!

So I've just try and that work perfectly on Arch Linux,

I didn't know it was possible to start love executable like this. (I mean the .exe)
I think most distro have love packaged, so it's okay to package the love files as Linux build.

the game was fun, beating enemies with an instrument remind me FLCL.

We don't have a Linux build because there's no way to distribute a portable Love2D project for Linux.

Actually I've just try that: https://love2d.org/wiki/Game_Distribution#Linux_2 and it seems to work too,  The Appimage thing is the cleaner solution, but the guide advice to use CARE which send to a dead link...


Edit: though making a portable binary for Linux seems to be the kind of stuff that would be useful for steam packaging, where require external dependency is a no go(I guess I've never package any game on steam) , but on itch I think packaging the love file is the best solution as it avoid dealing with potential odd libraries issue, and most Linux user can install love themselves.
