Spin Rhythm XD is a homage to classic arcade rhythm games (Guitar Hero, DDR), with a modern aesthetic and soundtrack. Earlier in April they also put up an official Native Linux version with Steam Deck support.
In update 1.5 they noted:
Steam Deck / Linux + Switch version upgrade
- We are doing actual Linux builds now so customs should in theory be a bit easier to manage
- Deck now supports proper multi-touch
- Visual touch panels now appear over gameplay and can be customised in the options menu
- MIDI DJ gear is now available on Steam Deck (and Linux)! Get your decks out, people!
Spin Rhythm XD is big on customisation, with an included level editor and a suite of accessibility features, unlockable wheel skins and more. Fight your way to the top of the global leaderboards to become the best in the rhythm dimension. Check out the original 1.0 trailer below to see more, it looks like good fun:

I wonder if they left the VR support enabled in the Linux build.
They didn't, which is disappointing but quickly solved by just running this game in proton which I do anyway because of a multi monitor refresh rate bug with the linux version that doesn't exist in the proton version, as well as easier management of SpinShare via protontricks.
But what they did do was somehow make a multi touch touchscreen control scheme for Steam Deck which is something that, until this game got this linux port, I had no idea was even possible on Deck. I just assumed it emulated your single point of interaction mouse. I've owned my steam deck for 2 years at this point, I've tinkered with it to bottom of the iceberg levels of knowledge, yet I had no idea it had multi touch support until the spin rhythm devs added it to this game.
In any case, Spin Rhythm XD is one of the best rhythm games on steam and I can't recommend it enough to anyone reading this article if you like rhythm games, I've been playing it long before it got a linux port.
