Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom from Game Atelier and DG Entertainment recently gained a small but sweet update to improve gameplay on the Steam Deck.
While it's currently tagged as "Unsupported" by Valve, this should hopefully bump it up to fully Verified. It previously had an issue where all the button mapping icons where broken. This latest update adds full support for the Steam Deck controls, and additionally adds in native 16:10 aspect ratio support too. Thanks to that update, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom should now be a great experience on Steam Deck.

I think the music is intentionally bad, to resemble that of Dragon Ball, etc. You know - just to bring back memories of our childhood cartoons/anime :D It's freakin AWESOME to be honest :D

Also, @begui and @Avikarr: If you switch the game's language to Japanese, the song changes too.
