You can find the finished crowdfunding campaign here. We will keep an eye on it and let you know when it's getting ready to release which should hopefully be later this year. The release is supposed to be coming quickly, as the game is based on what they already have in real arcade machines for the Killer Queen game.
Since it's fully funded, it's joined our growing list of over 300 crowdfunded games that mentioned Linux support. See our dedicated page here.
