I have to say that I really like the tone of the game, it makes you feel in a good mood only by watching the trailer. Also, considering it was released on Early Access mode on March 24, it presumably allowed a lot of players to give their feedback and to improve the game mechanics, so I think we have a truly promising title here.
In addition, these kind of party games not only allow you to share good moments with friends and family; if you think about it, they inadvertently give you an excellent excuse to introduce them to SteamOS and Linux gaming in general...
Official site: Marooners

So, are all controllers actually supported on Linux? I made the mistake of buying a game from this developer before only to find that controller support was paltry.

Quoting: melkemindSo, are all controllers actually supported on Linux? I made the mistake of buying a game from this developer before only to find that controller support was paltry.The Steam store page claims the game has full controller support. Also, during Early Access the developers wrote this on the forums. If you want to be completely sure enter the Discord chat, ask them and also tell them about your problem with the previous game.
