Guide: Installing Iridescence 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 Iridescence? Features and Description

Iridescence is a Shoot 'Em Up with a color-changing mechanic, where you dodge and absorb many different colored bullets. It features a painted watercolor theme & features an inventive chaining system. Play through 5 main levels and 30 varied challenge levels!

Welcome to the kaleidoscopic world of Iridescence!

Iridescence is a 'polarity shmup' with a color-changing mechanic, where you dodge and absorb many different colored bullets as you blast your way through the game. Unlike most shooters, you can safely collide with bullets as long as you are the same color as them. Switch back and forth from red and blue, and hold the color button to turn purple. But there's also black bullets and missiles, which must be avoided at all cost.

The game was built around a painted watercolor theme & features an inventive chaining/damage system that results in a more puzzle-esque type of shooter. The closer you are to an enemy, the more damage you do. But this puts you in more danger, so be careful to get close for more damage but don't get yourself blown up! When you are within a certain distance of an enemy while it's destroyed, you will "chain". Do this 4 times to increase your score multiplier to get as much points as you can. The entire game was built around this mechanic, every enemy was placed with the purpose of being able to be chained. It can be enjoyed by simply blasting everything in sight, but trying to chain every enemy you come across will allow the true design to come through.

As you advance through 5 main levels & defeat the 5 bosses you will gain the skills to take on the 30 challenge levels available in the game. Playing the main will award you credits needed to unlock these challenge levels, which will test skills in dodging, damaging, and surviving, and get increasingly more difficult the further you progress.

KEY FEATURES

  • Dodge & absorb 4 different bullet colors.
  • Risk/reward chaining system.
  • Deal more damage (and score more points) the closer you are to enemies.
  • Unique watercolor aesthetic.
  • Tough, dynamic boss fights.
  • 5 main levels & 30 challenge levels.
  • Color Blind mode included.

User Reviews

“Iridescence reminded me of a bygone era of indie games, as you don't get many things like it nowadays ... The aesthetic is gorgeous, but the actual shooting is highly enjoyable too.”
