Still tempted to buy it on Steam, so updating parallels on my Mac to see if it will run on an M1.

Can always request a refund if it doesn't/no one finds a Deck tweak that works.

Got my PS4 copy, played a quick game before I started work. Looks great, definitely looking forward to putting in some time.

Just had a few plays. Must be the most bonkers Llamasoft game yet. Some chuckles were had at some of the text descriptions too. Also, on PC, how do you quit the game, and how to start in full-screen?

Sadly doesn't even start up in Parallels on an M1 Mac.

Will try Crossover later, but that's going to take a little more effort and I need to work.

Just found these in the pause menu, in case anyone else was wondering!

*edit* ah, not available on Steam yet, for some reason….got 4hrs to wait
Got it now, Same white area issue on my Deck as previously linked to. Was going to post a screenshot, but no need now.
Might have a twiddle with Proton and such myself when I get time. :?

Looks and plays great on my ultra-wide monitor. 8) :D :sheep:

Yeah, that threw me for a second. :)
Can’t access the Pause/Options screen at all until you start a game? :?

And doesn't work on Crossover Mac either.

You get a blank window and some start-up sounds, but when they stop it crashes.

There is a pretty good Windows gaming PC in the house that my son uses, but I'd rather gouge my eyes out than go back to my general-use computer being a PC or have to sit at a desk at home to play.

I just wanted to try it out at work and my options here at the moment are M1 Macbook and Steam Deck. Which aren't good today.

I'll buy the Xbox version tonight and consider the Switch version later.

So...I'm starting to get the strategy of when to use the guns and when to use the bombs. Guess I'm one step further.
But not entirely sure what these "pods" are that I'm supposed to save?
And I have to take a closer look at these game modes. These pods appear to factor into that.

.. getting there.

Snapped it up on Steam as soon as I got the Wishlist alert :)
I'm at work at the mo, so haven't had a chance to try it yet. I would put it on my Deck, but given the reports above, probably not worth it.

I would happily contribute to a "Buy Jeff & Giles a SteamDeck" fund :)

I don't think you'll even need a gaming PC, it runs on a crappy mobile GPU perfectly (Win GPD Max):



The fans make more noise when I copy files than when playing this!
