If you're playing on Ubuntu, I've included source code and scripts that make setting up controller support as painless as possible. Though it still might be painful, but hey! You're using Linux, so this should be easy. INSTALLATION: Anodyne MUST be installed into the default steam directory in your home folder or achievements won't work. Sorry. If installation fails, you probably don't have Adobe AIR. Follow the instructions at my friend Lars' site to learn how to install Adobe AIR. http://www.defendersquest.com/linux.html CONTROLLER SUPPORT: Open a Terminal and navigate to the folder where Anodyne's installed (I think it's ~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common/Anodyne or something). Anyways inside there is a folder called "linux_controller". README.txt has instructions - you need to compile a joy2key program and a configuration program. Run the config once with your controller plugged in to make a controller configuration, then run joy2key once Anodyne is running, click on the Anodyne window and your controller input will be sent there.

In Anodyne, you explore and fight your way through surreal and at times, creepy, nature, urban and abstract themed areas in the human Young's subconscious, evoked by a 16-bit-era visual style and a moody, dream-like soundtrack. Created by Sean HTCH and Joni Kittaka.

They are working on Even The Ocean http://www.twitter.com/eventheocean , a new adventure platforming / hybrid walk-&-press slice-of-life adventure/daydream platforming game. It will also be released on Steam.

Because this game was made by a small team, please note there is no customer support for Anodyne available at this time. We recommend the stable Mac and Windows versions. For Linux users, you may have trouble running it if not using Ubuntu. Please request a refund if you are unable to get the game to work. Thank you for your understanding.
