| | ^ //Dimension Tripper Neptune: TOP NEP// | Wine: **perfect** | | |
| | | //Space Harrier//-like [[railshooter|railshooter]]. I bought it with money I got selling [[steam]] cards. Pretty fun, but finished it on my first try. The camera angle feels a bit off, and I don't like the screenshake. You can get helpers by collecting coins. I don't know shit about the series it's an offshoot from except there were characters dressed like videogame consoles or something??? ||| |

| | ^ //[[diorama_battle_of_ninja]]// | Wine: **good** | | |
| | | Terrific, highly recommended. You're a ninja guy. Sometimes there are hundreds of enemies. ||| |
| | | Game runs fine, but the highscore tables are shown as empty :( ||| |

| | In Wine there's an annoying issue where some font isn't loading. Most of the text is fine, but which difficulty you're selecting is garbled which is a problem in online multiplayer. <del>Entering chat text crashes the game too, though you can still use the pre-determined phrases. Apparently you have to create the save file in a Windows system too, though mine was already made before I tried on Linux.</del> (Text entry works fine now) ||| | | In Wine there's an annoying issue where some font isn't loading.

| | A bit slow to start compared to other entries, but some of the improvements are really nice: completing a stage on 'hard' difficulty clears it on all lower difficulties too, wing diver has some nice extra moves, you can find weapons and armour for all classes, the pillbugs are back! ||| | | A bit slow to start compared to other entries, but some of the improvements are really nice: completing a stage on 'hard' difficulty clears it on all lower difficulties too, wing diver has some nice extra moves, you can find weapons and armour for all classes, the pillbugs are back! ||| |
| | <del>Like in //4.1// you still need to create a file on a Windows machines, and freely typing text in multiplayer will also crash the game.</del> (Text entry works for me now!) The scrambled text has be cleaned up though! <del>The big annoyance are unavoidable crashes on some stages, online and offline. Avoid buying until that's fixed in Proton.</del> (also no more unavoidable, predictable crashes!) ||| | | <del>Like in //4.1// you still need to create a file on a Windows machines, and freely typing text in multiplayer will also crash the game.</del> (Text entry works for me now!)

| | ^ //Fatum Betula// | Wine: **perfect** | also on: Switch, XBO | |
| | | Was curious about this for a while, as I kept seeing the [[nintendo_switch|Switch]] version for cheap. I dunno. There's a whole slew of this kinda games that have a bit of imagination, a [[sony_playstation|PSX]] skin, a put-on weirdness, and not much else going on. It's just a nothing game. Get item, use it on thingo, get other item, use it on guy, get item ... ||| |
| | | Only Wine-related trouble I had was with desktop switching giving me a black screen. ||| |

| | ^ //Micesweeper// | Wine: **perfect** | | |
| | | [[mimesweeper]] game where you move a little mouse instead of an actual mouse, with [[nonogame]]-like hints too. Really neat. ||| |
| | | ||| |
| | ^ //[[let_it_die]]// | Wine: **perfect** | also on: PS4 | |
| | | Pretty fun. Some nice janky platforming. Lots of imagination. Got a bit tired of all the grossness and wet sound effects. Uninstalled on the third section. Combat's pretty crummy. ||| |
