Guide: Installing Zen Blocks - Relaxing Puzzle Board Game 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.

BRAIN TRAINING - A good game for helping with brain function. The use of hand-eye coordination with the Dual Stick Controller to complete the required screen actions in either timed or level mode will prove a challenge to most.


Stack a color block next to other blocks of the same color. Combine 4+ color blocks to remove a group and gain extra moves / time (5+ blocks). Connect blocks in a line or diagonally as long as they touch. Blocks groups of the same color also need to be "activated" by a direct hit.
This allows for strategic hoarding of blocks to increase score and gain extra move turns.

* Some Playing Tips *

  • Activations can be made by any color block. e.g. A blue block can hit and activate a group of orange blocks
  • A block going from left to right across the board will attach to other blocks in its path providing there is a space for it
  • Placing blocks next to each other in a large group without activating will allow you to group up 5+ blocks
  • Blocks can be grouped if they touch side by side or diagonally

RELEASING BLOCKS

Clicking the activators around the board perimeter releases a block. Hold down the mouse to see the direction line of the block.
The block displayed below the board area is the current block that will be released.

Clear the screen to advance to the next level.


The game plays with relaxing music to create a calming and enjoyable gaming experience and also comes with a Learning mode.

There are 3 modes of play currently...

1. LEVEL MODE: Level progression, where player must advance through puzzle levels that increase in difficulty, using a limited amount of moves and your brain. Players can take their time choosing their next move.

2. TIMER MODE: The second play mode is one that produces procedural levels that increase in difficultly along with a countdown timer. Win extra time by activating 5+ blocks together. This requires fast thinking to advance to the next level. You need to keep a clear head and remain calm to advance far on the timer play mode. This mode is not relaxing unless you get into the zone and feel as one with the blocks. :)

3. ARCADE MODE: Starts slowly, but as time passes more blocks emerge on the board to clear away. The blocks are released from the heavens by the spirits that float around your screen.
