Having a lot of success on modern mac games with Sikarugir and wine. Might be worth a shot.

Art style looks cool.
Requires Windows. My computer can’t run that (by choice, also by design — it’s a Mac). So that’s a red flag I can’t ignore.
Anyway, it feels like this game has been coming for years. It doesn’t help that it looks somewhat similar to that other retro cartoon bullet hell game I can’t recall the name of right now. That game doesn’t interest me though; this one tentatively does if it has an easy mode or the difficulty is fair.

Cuphead

Yes, that’s the one. I love the look of both games, but I recognize that Cuphead is beyond my play ability. Gorgeous game though!

Art style is amazing and extremely well-executed, but yeah, the gameplay sadly never did anything for me. Also there was something about the sound design and especially the story that just…didn’t click for me. There just wasn’t much fun for joy in it.

Wait, what? The game is Steam Deck verified. How does it require Windows?

Because Steam only uses proton on Linux AFAIK, and the guy said he’s running Mac, so it it’s not native it’s not available to him.

I think that calling it a redflag is a little out there when you buy a mac. Who buys a mac expecting to game on it? That’s like complaining about games on steam not working on Linux in 2012.

It is a red flag for them. Just like how before proton lots of us said “No tux, no bucks”, just because it’s not a red flag to you does not negate their opinion of it.

True gamers make do with a single mouse button. Mac is the ultimate platform.

You’d be surprised at how many games run on Mac natively. RE2 Remake on a MacBook Air is surprisingly good.

Steam really doesn’t have compatibility options on Windows or Mac? That’s kind of silly
Nibodhika@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Windows doesn’t usually need them as most games are native, and Mac doesn’t do Vulkan (in their immense wisdom Apple decided to invent Metal instead) so it can’t use dxvx. Valve could still have wine there which would work most of the time, but it might be a lot of support for a janky experience at beat.

I can run Steam Deck verified games on my Mac? How? (I don’t think I can, I think you just missed that I have a Mac, not a Steam Deck.)
I didn’t look for Steam Deck verification, I just looked at the OS flags above the price. They have them for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Apologies; didn’t read that far when I saw it. But to be fair, your exact quote was “Requires Windows”, not “Requires Windows or Linux”. You’re sort of the odd one out on macs.
Nibodhika@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The game requires windows, just because you’re able to make Linux run it doesn’t mean the game supports it.

If it fully supported Linux, there would be a Tux (penguin) icon next to the Windows flag on the Steam page. And then I would have said “Requires Windows or Linux,” or I would have worded it differently.
Yes, I’m the odd one who put his money where his mouth was when Microsoft started to really go downhill. Not many people can say that.
