@simonschreibt Seems like a perfect game to play on the couch with a Steam Deck. Wishlisted.

@hendric thank you! <3 it was already tested on steamdeck and went fine as far as they told me :)

@hendric oh no...i don't know what this means :( it works on pc and as far as i know, the steam deck uses the windows exe + linux emulator, doesn't it?

@simonschreibt @hendric I downloaded the demo! same issue! looks like the demo comes with a linux executable (which works btw!)

@gertkeno @hendric yes, there is a linux build but it's somehow not working to auto-start it. i tried to add "linux" as official supported in the steam page options but this didn't help either. it's really annyoing :(

@simonschreibt @hendric Yeah steamworks is terribly confusing. I would say make sure you have multiple launch options in the "General Installation" section. Set one for windows and add a new one for linux with the "cozy_space_survivors-linux.x86_64" path and operating system set to Linux + SteamOS

@gertkeno @hendric Thanks for the top! I've just published the new linux-launch-option. Maybe it works now?

@simonschreibt @gertkeno I re-downloaded it, and it works now! I can already tell from the demo I'm going to need the full version! #gaming #LinuxGaming

@hendric @gertkeno Oh nice, that's great to hear! :) I hope you will like it. <3

@simonschreibt @gertkeno It could use a "GenX Gamer" option that slows it to 80% of normal speed, but other than it's pretty good so far. :) #gaming #LinuxGaming

@hendric @gertkeno oh interesting, the ship is moving too fast for you? it gets easier when collecting some chocolate and buying meta-upgrades.

@simonschreibt @gertkeno It may be a limitation caused by the smaller screen on the Deck, or I need to zoom out. :)

@hendric @gertkeno hm...i need to test myself when i get a deck on my hands..
