We used GameMaker as our game engine, and we've already had feedback from several players that it runs very well on Linux and on their SteamDeck via Proton...

While Steam Deck's Proton is functional, it's not a built from scratch Linux edition. However, the creators hint at the chance for an Ubuntu specific version down the line. Depending on the publisher's decisions, this might even find its way to itch.io. But nothing's set in stone just yet. This isn't just another stroll through the virtual park. Super Catboy throws us back to the 90s games with a mix of run and gun thrills and classic beat 'em up.

Whether it's scaling snow capped mountains or finding your way in desolate factories, every second is a race against time. And trust me when I say, Catboy's got that catnip-induced energy like no other.
