Guide: Installing Bouncers 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 Bouncers? Features and Description

Bouncers is a single player retro styled action game that has you avoiding enemies to climb the leaderboard. The bouncer will bounce around the screen in random directions and multiply over time, but more enemies for example the asteroid will appear.

Short Description

Bouncers is a single player retro styled action game that has you avoiding enemies to climb the leaderboard. The bouncer will bounce around the screen in random directions and multiply over time, but more enemies for example the asteroid will appear.

The Mini Square



The Mini Square (creative name huh?) will follow you forcing you to constantly move as you avoid all the other enemies.

The Bouncer


The Bouncer (The names get more creative I promise) bounces off the edges of your screen and can switch directions at any bounce.
The game starts off easy with 1 Bouncer but multiplies as your score gets higher. 1 Bounce = 1 point * multiplier.

The Asteroid



The Asteroid (See? More creative huh?) spawns every 10-15 seconds and will track you. Juke it to avoid it!

The Dahser



The Dasher can spawn more than once at a time in any location across your screen. They will face a random direction and charge until it leaves the screen.

The Thief

If the thief spawns, it will go faster than the mini square!
If you get hit by it, it will take some of your points!
Avoid it for 30 seconds and it will de-spawn.

Slow Motion


When an enemy gets close to you, other than the mini square, it will trigger slow motion putting a red vignette smoothly faded onto your screen and slow motion will activate so you can be precise when dodging.

Collect Powerups


Powerups will help your run last longer! Collect powerups like +1 Life, Shield, Star, Purge, and Speed!

Healing


Healing is handled by a random chance of health packs or passive healing!

Health Packs:
Collect health packs to heal instantly!

Passive Healing:
Avoid damage to continue healing!

Health Zone:
The health zone can spawn randomly, stay in it and it will continue healing you!

Leaderboard


Compete on each difficulty to get on the top 5 leaderboard!

Key Settings / Fun Options


Movement


Mouse Controls (Strongly Recommended):
  • The player moves smoothly towards your mouse.
  • Most recommended for beginners

WASD/Arrow Keys:
Snappy movement using WASD or the arrow keys

Rainbow Bouncers

A toggle to have every bouncer spawn as a random color

Special Thanks


Special thanks to my best friend George N. for coming up with some of the ideas in my game. He is in the credits section for the ideas he came up with.

Backstory


Well the short reason why this exists is my computer science teacher. But here is the long story:

I was a freshman in high school (at the time I'm writing this, I’ll be a sophomore) at 14 years old. (I turned 15 6 days ago at the time I’m writing this, July 16 2023) I recently finished a project I started the year before using python. I didn’t have to do any of the labs, I was way ahead of everyone, they were learning python and I learned it in 5th-6th grade. But since I was not working on anything, I started failing. I talked to my computer science teacher and he said for me to make another project with something new, he needed to challenge me. So I decided to learn 2D game development with Pygame. Pygame was nice, I learned it in 2 days on vacation, but following a tutorial was not enough, I wanted to prove to myself I knew something. I decided to recreate pong but then I wanted my own original idea. So I made the first version of Bouncers, called “Dodge Lines” I know it’s terrible. But it is a concept I had in mind for a few years. I worked on the game way too much and also during class and adding constant updates. 47 days later, I had 46 releases of my game on GitHub. I loved it, but I was limited by pygame and wanted to learn Unity. Surprisingly it was easier. I remade Bouncers from scratch. Remade almost every feature and improved it. I upgraded the graphics an insane amount because Unity is insanely better. And then for about half the school year, I worked non stop in and out of my classes. I would be walking in the halls to
my next class working on my game with my gaming laptop in hand. Eventually I polished the game and added so many new features, I thought of putting it on here. Finally, after a long time, I am putting my dream game on Steam. I made some changes like technical stuff with the leaderboard and achievements so I guess that not all of this was made by a 14 year old, but I don’t think it matters too much anyway. Credit goes to my computer science teacher, hopefully he has steam because I am giving him a free copy. Thank you for reading this and showing interest in Bouncers, it really means a lot.
