Guide: Installing Heli-Cats on Linux with Steam Proton

This guide describes how to use Steam Proton to play and run Windows games on your Linux computer. Some games may not work or may break because Steam Proton is still at a very early stage.


1. Activating Steam Proton for Linux:
Proton is integrated into the Steam Client with "Steam Play." To activate proton, go into your steam client and click on Steam in the upper right corner. Then click on settings to open a new window. From here, click on the Steam Play button at the bottom of the panel. Click "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles."

Alternatively: Go to Steam > Settings > Steam Play and turn on the "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles" option.

Valve has tested and fixed some Steam titles and you will now be able to play most of them. However, if you want to go further and play titles that even Valve hasn't tested, toggle the "Enable Steam Play for all titles" option.


2. Choose a version
You should use the Steam Proton version recommended by Steam: 3.7-8. This is the most stable version of Steam Proton at the moment.


3. Restart your Steam
After you have successfully activated Steam Proton, click "OK" and Steam will ask you to restart it for the changes to take effect. Restart it. Your computer will now play all of steam's whitelisted games seamlessly.


4. Launch Stardew Valley on Linux:
Before you can use Steam Proton, you must first download the Stardew Valley Windows game from Steam. When you download Stardew Valley for the first time, you will notice that the download size is slightly larger than the size of the game.
This happens because Steam will download your chosen Steam Proton version with this game as well. After the download is complete, simply click the "Play" button.

        What is Heli-Cats? Features and Description

        Dual elevation horizontal 2D arcade shoot 'em up co-op helicopter action!


        With the world facing a desperate energy and economic crisis, rogue forces have launched a coordinated assault on a weakened allied order. Unable to respond directly under the fragile political climate, the Joint Security Alliance has turned to a special helicopter squadron known as the Heli-Cats. Their mission is to repel the invaders under the guise of a local paramilitary unit such that all actions can be disavowed should things go wrong.



        Take control of pilots “Tiger” and “Lynx”, either together in a single helicopter or individually in two machines, as they battle their way through enemy lines and uncover the reasons behind the instigations.







        Push the elevation button to switch between high and low elevations.

        High projectiles are yellow and low ones are red. (The color combo can be changed as an option.)
        Ammo can only damage targets of the same elevation for both players and enemies.
        So while traditionally unavoidable enemy fire can now be rendered completely safe, players must still put themselves in harm's way in order to defeat enemies.



        Tapping the shot button fires a burst of normal ammo.
        Hitting and destroying enemies with a normal shot increases the focus counter.

        Holding the shot button fires a more powerful focus shot that consumes the focus counter.
        Some enemies also shoot lighter colored focus ammo that are greater in quantity but slower in speed.

        Use the focus shot to cancel them and break through the barrage with ease.



        Regular enemies destroyed with the focus shot drop orbs.
        Collecting them fills the level gauge and powers up both normal and focus shots when the next level is reached.

        The green power gauge that appears depletes only when normal shots are used. The player goes down a level when out of power.
        Stay at the maximum level by replenishing the power gauge with more orbs.



        Scoring in Heli-Cats is very simple. Survivability and score potential are at opposite ends of the difficulty spectrum.

        Survivability: High, Score: Low
        • Power up often
        • Keep away from enemies
        • Use the focus shot regularly
        • Bomb often

        Survivability: Low, Score: High
        • Avoid powering up
        • Shoot enemies at very close range
        • Avoid using the focus shot
        • Avoid using bombs

        Players have to find the right balance on this difficulty scale and adjust their strategy according to skill level.


        Knowing when to utilize these systems is the key to victory!



        • Dual elevation gameplay allows an extra layer of strategy to avoid enemy fire
        • Local co-op
        • 2 initial helicopters to choose from (more can be unlocked with progress)
        • 8 arcade stages (2 more can be unlocked under special conditions)
        • Multiple endings depending on performance and uncovered secrets
        • In-game credits system that unlocks new modes, upgrades, and customization of the game
        • Fully assignable gamepad and keyboard button controls
