I just tried the Linux build. One thing that I noticed was that the binaries had to be made executable by doing a 

chmod +x Neon\ Nova\ Ultra\ Space\ Rumble.x86_64

on them (in this case for the 64-Bit version).

However my machine is simply to old to run the game. It's an old Mac Mini Mid-2007 which I still use to do my translations and office work. The reason why I am still hanging on to this machine is that it is very silent but I understand if you consider it outdated.

This is the graphics chipset that the old fellow has built in:

/sbin/lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

The Linux distribution I am using is openSUSE "Tumbleweed" which is a rolling release and gets daily updates and from which SUSE Linux Enterprise as a commercial product is built. As it is a moving target there are occasional hickups but for daily use I am perfectly happy with it.

Thanks for producing the Linux binaries and putting them online. I liked the screen configuration screen.

Also this is my console output:

The game seems to have "fairly high" graphics standards and seems to require DirectX11. I didn't expect this as I still have a fairly old machine.

I just saw your recent announcement for the alpha and thought I'd give it a try on Linux using latest wine which a technology which translates Windows-API-calls to Linux system calls. This is the output that I got: 

Failed to initialize graphics.
Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date
drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled
