I'm very interested in this game, but I recently switched to running Linux (due to unavoidable circumstances)...
I know many Windows games run fine on Linux through Wine or stuff like Lutris, but for a small game like this, it's a gamble...
it runs fine using Proton according to Steam users. I would say it's a safe bet if you've been able to run GameMaker-made Windows games on Linux before.
Wow, I love this so much and I really mean it! Funniest character designs I've seen in a long long time. I think I woke up everyone in the house laughing out loud (the Peters in the "and run for the hills" part in trailer 1). Reminds me of the games we played on the C64 as kids. Brings joy to my heart. : D
i am peter shorts
can i get it for free?
Any chance of a soundtrack download (FLAC)?
soon! I want to clean up some songs first before I compile the final track list, but it'll be on Bandcamp and maybe also Steam & Itch.io once it's ready.
I am Peter Shorts.
