Hello rhythm interns! Were here with another version update, v0.12.0/r27. This update has a myriad of level editor improvements and platform updates like native Linux compatibility. Wed also like to introduce the newest member to the team, Random Guy JCI! He was already a big part of the community before, making some great custom levels and programming mods to improve the game and level editor. Now he will work with us to improve the game and level editor, but officially . Thanks to team members Random Guy JCI, megaminerzero, huantian and Satellite for all the tweaks and improvements, and also to HeySora, huantian and antonio for the backend work!

Main Game Changes

• Linux compatibility: Added native compatibility with Linux! Make sure to disable Force the use of a Steam Play compatibility tool so Steam will download the native version. (big effort from huantian!) -Should work on most modern Linux distributions, but have only tested on Ubuntu, Arch, and NixOS. Requires GTK for file pickers and xdg-open for opening files, these should also be installed on most distributions. - Note: True window dance on Linux has been disabled, as it doesnt seem to work well with all Linux desktop environments or window managers. Window dance is set to Simulate by default instead. - Make sure to keep an eye out for any Linux related issues or bugs, such as issues with the file chooser or explorer, or custom level saving and loading.
