The game starts and seems to work, but unfortunately it lags too much on my machine to be playable. For a mostly 2D game I wouldn't expect this. I can play Kerbal Space program on my machine fine, which is 3D graphics and complex physics. Hopefully you can test it out on linux yourself some day or perhaps some other machines and tune the performance. I tried to turn down the "effects" but I think that's only the sound effects. Perhaps if there were options for changing the level of graphic detail it would help. Maybe my machine is just bad and processing one type of effect you're using, like anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, bloom, blur, shadows or something like that and if I could turn it down it would be playable. The initial part where it shows the giant 3D space ship is fine, and then the initial drop is fine for just a moment, but then when it reaches the clouds and the other ships and it starts lagging bad. Although it was lagging I did like the feel of the controls and I like drill concept, the mechanics are cool and will either wait for an update to the game or I'll wait till I get a new machine.
