There's no official announcement yet, but it has the SteamOS icon and the developers noted the release quietly on their forum:
QuoteHi there,

We just released the Linux version of Rise & Shine.
Happy dying & respawning! haha.


Looks really good, but I have that real issue now of having far too many games to play, who would have thought a few years ago eh?

About the game
QuoteRise & Shine is a true "think and gun" that combines elements of arcade shooters, bullet hells, and puzzle platformers to create a new blend of strategy and viscera. Switch between Shine's add-ons to solve puzzles that redefine what bullets can do. Guide projectiles through intricate mazes, electrify damaged equipment to discover new pathways, and juggle 8-bit fruit because why not?

not working for me.
stuck at the aduld swim logo

after copy some mono and plugin files from another unity game I could get to main menu, but if I try to start a game, then nothing happens.

maybe they pressed only the "export to linux" button without testing

Same here. Been stung by this kind of quality control before, so I'm gonna refund it now, then see if they fix it quickly. If so, I'll be happy to buy it again.

Its a shame when the developers dont quality control better, especially with games that looks this good and fun to play. I hope they fix it quickly!

Apparently already fixed! But I'll wait for some confirmation before I purchase again.

they removed the linux symbol from the store page and since release there was no patch for me.
but with the workaround it runs good (achivements dont work)
