FYI in the latest game update the developer has said that they are working on Linux support.

Linux update will be out soon (for X11). Wayland will take more time.

Will have to test this when the next version of GE-Proton ships:

EDIT: this fix has been rolled into GEProton-11-1! However did not seem to do anything to fix BongoCat. In addition there is an official Linux version for testing, see below!

FYI there is a Linux version for testing!

Dev states this is for X11 only for now with Wayland planned for the future.

Beta code is: linuxtesting

Seems to be working for me on XWayland as long as I stay in the Steam window.

Progress!
