I really LOVE this Game.

Yet, I've just tried to play it on my standard-Linux-PC now and I get a white screen only but in the background everything seems to work fine.

So, "Electron" cannot be installed into this WINE-Emulator on Lutris it seems, so I won't be able to enjoy it until I either can find a solution for it (my Manjaro Distro has the Electron installed btw., so maybe I'll just need to use "System Libraries" - I'll tinker around with that for a bit, when I have the time).

But in the meantime: if you have still the source files for the Game, is there any possibility to try and build a Linux-Version from it, that uses the Linux-System's drivers and Electron maybe?

I'm sure other "Penguin"-OS-Fans would be happy about that, too. ^_^ <3

Cheers and still love the Game though - even though I can't play it without switching to another one of my Computers (Windows-Laptop or MacBook) sadly...

I actually have a Linux build but since I don't have a way to do ANY QA testing, I didn't feel confident listing it. I literally don't even know if it runs.

If you'd like to test it out, here's a link. If it works for you and you think it's of not-embarrassing quality, I'd be happy to list it on the game's page!

Woohoo! You're awesome, thanks! <3

I just started it - it's actually the first App-Image Application I've ever used on my Manjaro Linux so far, but it runs "like butta"/awesomely so far - I'll post it under here if I find any bugs, hang-ups or weird behavior altogether.

But so far, it's like one of the smoothest experiences I've had. Woohoo! I hope there isn't anything as I play along, but so far it's just as I remember it when first playing it on my Windows PC a couple of years ago.

Only thing missing to create a proper Desktop Launcher, is an Icon for the Launcher - either an *.ico or a *.png with the Game Logo would be cool to include in the Package for Linux since it's a little different to Windows and doesn't show it automatically as the App-Image-Icon (I still had the Windows-ZIP handy and could use the Icon from that one for now - but for other Linux Users, it'd be nice to include it in the Linux-ZIP  ^_^).

Not sure how else I could set the icon in electron-builder (it's already set according to all the docs I have found) but I can include the full res icon in the Extras folder going forward.

Thanks for giving this a test and I've added it to the official downloads.

I don't think you need to worry about that - it's probably got something to do with Linux rather than your build then.

And since the Game's running in Fullscreen for me anyway, I don't care much about the Icon when it's started.
And the Icon for the Desktop Launcher is always manually added for Linux - at least in most cases since creating a Desktop Launcher involves adding an Icon manually on my Cinnamon Desktop UI, that I use with Manjaro.

So, no worries there for you, i.m.h.o. <3
