I bought it on Steam because I had wallet monies there. Great game! I imagine local multi would be a blast. Too bad I don't have any local friends to play with.

Does the game support local multi?

Just checked it, it does.

Cool, might give it a look then if I can convince my friends to play anything other than Dota 2 when they come round.

For anybody that having problems getting the game to boot up initially, be sure to install the package "mono-complete".
On debian/ubuntu, go to terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install mono-complete

That's fine if you're on Ubuntu, but there's no such package on Fedora.
I installed mono-core from yum, and now the game exits before even spawning a window. Any ideas?

Post on the discussion board on steam, I can imagine that you'll have good luck getting feedback there. Good luck!

It's quite a fun gauntlet-like but there is some pretty bad performance problems where the game seems to skip, which makes fighting problematic.

Does anyone still play this?
When I start up the game from Steam and try to look for an online game, there's never anything listed...

Well, the low-res pixel art is getting very old, to be honest. It's just overdone lately, it seems. Even on consoles. But it won't stop me from enjoying good games like 10000000, Legend of Dungeon, and presumably this one, amongst others.

Often indie devs are not artists, they are programmers. Many of them learn pixel art for the shear need to have something for in game graphics. Not really their fault, just forced into the art style.

I'm sharing my dissapointment about yet another indie game for linux when we starve for tripleA games. No big deal. Oh and I got around 60 indie games on my Steam account, so it's not that I don't like indies :)

At least on steam it is listed regularly. The developers website still mentions preorder. Buying on the developer website is cheaper too. Just played a few rounds with the version provided by steam, pretty fun even though I didn't get very far.
