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.

PlanckMan is a grid based puzzle game that tests your skill at maintaining your tail, one step at a time. Eat red pellets to regain your tail, and yellow pellets to grow. Do not hit or lose your tail, or else you will lose the game! How high can you get? Includes extra benefits for purchasing.

PlanckMan - The Retro game That Never Was

If you go back in time to the 1980s, there was usually a trend where a popular game would be released and spinoffs from other companies would come along, attempting to provide a unique spin on that formula. Pong, had many clones. Pac-Man was duplicated so many times. Space Invaders.. had so many different iterations. But Snake? SNAKE?

The Basics of PlanckMan

Start as a block 10 units high, beginning on random position in a grid, while a random pellet spawns.

As you move (in the cardinal directions), each movement reduces your height by 1, but your previous placement is persistent.

Obtaining a red pellet resizes your height to 10. Your previous tail continues to diminish at a rate of 1 per movement until lost at 0, but the new tail resumes at 10.

Yellow pellets increase your multiplier, but also the length of your tail.

Do not hit your tail. Do not run out of tail.

Eat as many pellets as possible.

Get high score.

In the Steam Version

The steam version provides access to a myriad of further options to customise your gameplay experience.

• Your high score will be saved and displayed prominently on the main screen.

• You can customise your controls to whatever buttons you like.

• You can enable or disable Fullscreen mode, Glow effects, Deep Blacks and Sound Effects.

• The colours of PlanckMan, and the food and multiplier pellets can be set to your liking.

• RGB MODE is also included, if you want a nice, new, vibrant experience.

• You can set the window size of the PlanckMan game window to whatever you want, and save this resolution as your preference so the game will always load to that resolution.

The game has been developed to be as accessible as possible, for people requiring the use of other devices to play, or those with limitations. As such, the menus are navigable with both the tab button, but also the key bindings set in the customised controls section.

BL3I

The game concept was imagined and created by BL3I, a YouTuber who tries to create new experiences with hardware and software, and experiments with how technology can change the lives of others via entertainment and accessibility.
