Same thing here with Trawl, always grabs mouse. I netted a rusty harmonica and a sealed box in my first two attempts so fishing seems to work.

Minit works when using libs from the Steam runtime, but segfaults with AMD unless you also use AMD_DEBUG=check_vm

Copy libssl.so.1.0.0 & libcrypto.so.1.0.0 from ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ to your Minit directory.

Rename runner -> runner32, make a new executable script named runner and put this in there.
#!/bin/bash
AMD_DEBUG=check_vm LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./runner32


Now it works in the itch.io app. If it ever gets updated, it'll overwrite your script so make a backup copy.

You cannot mix libssl 1.0 and 1.1 versions, they are not compatible.

For Debian, I installed 32 and 64 bits version of libssl1.0.2 from oldstable repo, symlinked libssl.so.1.0.0 -> libssl.so.1.0.2 and libcrypto.so.1.0.0 -> libcrypto.so.1.0.2 in their respective system lib directories.
This fixes Cook Serve Delicious 2 and Village Monsters. Does not fix Minit.

edit: Minit fix in my post below, can probably use the same lib fix for these two games as well.

I noticed Mable & The Wood didn't unpack the zip properly so it can't find the file game.unx. Fixed the game by unpacking Mable_PC.zip found in the installation directory.

Maybe should mention that I'm using the itch.io app.

This could be a great classic, high hopes!

PLAYSTATION CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE!!!

It's exclusive, and also not! Quite silly.

art of rally looks terrific in the latest trailer and it will be on GOG too

From funselektors Discord #faq, posted May 21 2020.

Official dev statement on cameras:

"This game is designed around a higher camera and a traditional chase camera would require pacenotes which are a large feature and hard to get right (plus voice acting for all supported languages would be very expensive).

The rally stages have good length, but from playing the game enough you will remember the stages and the high camera means you can see what's coming in the stage and negates the need for pacenotes."

art of rally - Teaser Trailer

The game is - you drive a car. As seen in the teaser trailer. The game looks exactly like is shown, noting that the editing and cinematic camera angles purposefully showcases the beautiful graphics and art style. Again, this is on purpose. You couldn't realistically play the game like that. This isn't a gameplay trailer.

The top down perspective during gameplay shouldn't be a surprise to anyone as it's similar to their previous game Absolute Drift and both games have been covered on GoL several times. In fact, the article from March 30 is even titled "Stylish top-down rally game 'art of rally'..."

As has already been mentioned, there is a demo available. You can try it out yourself. While still playable, it's a bit graphically broken on amdgpu as most trees/foliage/environmental details won't render. Yes, it's a Unity game... Windows version runs fine in Wine/DXVK.

A bit bummed that the bundle lacks integration with the itch.io client. :/

Far from every title will benefit. You'll have to try something which suffered greatly, games like Warframe, Quake Champions, Path Of Exile to name a few.
I've heard reports of significant improvements in some cases. :)
