Sound, Portrait mode, and gamepad (on Linux)

Neat core game design! I had three issue though. First, it says it detects my gamepad ("Joystick: Sunshine X-Box One (virtual) pad, bustype = 3, vendor = 0x045e, product = 0x02ea, version = 1032" which is correct) and starts listing a bunch of buttons and axes it finds (all correct) but then none of them do anything in the game. This first issue is no big deal since I can use antimicrox to make it a keyboard and the controls work well with keyboard too. Second issue is I don't hear any sound at all. Biggest issue is the third which is that while it's awesome that I can rotate the screen and I love that, the playfield is really tiny in the middle of the screen in portrait mode. Haven't tried landscape yet, I will go back and do that now.

it's not that small in landscape mode, the smallness issue was only in portrait. I've played the game for hours and hours. No idea how it's supposed to sound since I couldn't get sound to work.

I'm sorry you're having issues! The Linux version is provided "as is" because I don't know how to troubleshoot it for all the various distros. I am not a Linux person and have only confirmd the game runs on my installs of Ubuntu and Fedora.


For the smallness problem, there's an option in the gameplay settings called "board zoom" you may want to try toggling on.

It might be worth trying the windows version through wine or redeeming your steam key and using proton. Otherwise, I hope you find a fix for your system.

Thanks for coming up with such a good core mechanic. Very fun game.
