Whisker Squadron: Survivor takes Star Fox and adds a lil Vampire Survivors

While it does have Native Linux support and it is Steam Deck Verified, testing on both my desktop (Kubuntu) and Steam Deck - neither had any gamepad input at all. Swapping over to Proton Experimental made gamepad input work though.
Hmmm... As a backer I've had access to the game since mid-June, never saw that with the native build, neither on desktop (Arch Linux) nor Steam Deck, both on Steam beta. Gamepad controls works fine, on desktop with Sony DualShock 4 wired or Xbox One Controller wireless :huh:. I didn't play much though (like 5-6 times), so maybe it was corrected since :unsure:.

On Arch Linux, after installing a compatible java JRE (as mentionned above) and setting it as default (if multiple JREs are installed), it seems to work fine from my quick test in sandbox mode:
 
$ sudo pacman -S jre8-openjdk
$ sudo archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk/jre


I use pipewire with alsa/pulse/jack support.

Already owned the game but it's a nice gesture.

Thank you, FarSky Interactive :heart:

Welcome to Elk readies up for the Steam Deck and Proton

Such a convoluted/confusing way though: mark the game as supported on Linux, label a Windows depot as both Windows/Linux (while there is absolutely no Linux specific file contrary to some Ren'Py games packing Windows/macOS/Linux versions together e.g.), launch the Windows executable on Linux and last but not least ask Linux users to enable Proton manually to play the game... I don't mind if they check their game against Proton from time to time or get their game as Steam Deck verified but this, is a bit borderline for me (the red line would be the SteamOS+Linux icon/requirements on store page).

I redeemed a few retail games (Half-Life Platinum Pack, Dark Messiah, Prey, The Orange Box, Left 4 Dead) before my first digital purchase (Braid) in September 2009
