proton 10-0.4
GNU/Linux

great DEMO made with godot
10 levels out of 1000
finished the demo in about 2 hours

number go up
went to sleep number go up
woke up number go up
epiphany better number go up with more number go up
im playing right now while number go up

holding click autoclicks but clicking 100ms is faster
number go up

although its a demo, the "upgrade" potential appears to be fully unlocked
slow progress when you cant go beyond level 10 dungeon

great dungeon crawl


GNU/Linux

in the retro aesthetic of a C64 isometric game
however much more than that

heavy on the puzzles, light on the SFX
interactions were balanced enough to figure out
a few of these puzzles had me stumped for an hour....not at all intuitive
brute force moon logic trial and error as we do in the adventure zone
smash all rocks against all the rocks until VOILA....p-r-o-g-r-e-s-s

amused to death story of a stinky cosmic sandwich
cheeky commentary floating on the shoulders of giants
as they all do, and we all did.


godot engine game
proton 10 on GNU/Linux

more: deeper, darker.

we must know what happened
what will happen
and what has not

NOOT NOOT!


GNU+TUX / Linux


AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX
GPU AMD Radeon RX 7900M navi31
Mesa 25.3.3 - kisak-mesa
Vulkan 1.4.321
Linux 6.18.5-amdr18

a very short and basic tower defense with some interesting cthonic graphics

not much besides gloom and doom


** proton 10, gnu/linux

excellent builder simulation in the style of other renowned games of the genre
amazed it is a java game engine, though many games are written in java

quickly blasting through the tutorial was all i needed, being a seasoned veteran of these games
immsersed deeply in full speed ahead mode carefully watching numbers and metrics telling me how things are going
carefully planning the next step to upgrade and progress and expand

huge fun if this is your style of game
thanks for the developers offering a "free weekend" special for play testing the early access version

JRE linux version failed to "launch" (multiple settings and options tested)
just used proton and it worked fine on gnu/linux
