Steam Deck Compatibility

Valve currently rates the Steam build Playable, with the default controller configuration supported. Its report warns that some controller prompts do not match Deck controls and some interface text is small. Playable is distinct from Verified; it does not establish a native Linux build or a measured frame rate from ZowGame.

Windows Requirements

Minimum: Windows 10 (64-bit), Core i5-4460 or Ryzen 3 1200, 8 GB RAM, GTX 750 Ti / Radeon R7 265 / Intel UHD 620, and 1 GB storage. The official release remains Windows-only; the Deck compatibility rating is a separate assessment.

Updating and Troubleshooting

Check the version in your installed build. itch.io buyers must obtain the current download rather than assume an older archive updates itself. If a fault persists, send the developer the build number and steps that reproduce it.
