Dros – Kickstarter Trailer
Along with the Kickstarter campaign, Dros offers a new demo on Steam (Windows PC). I did test the Demo and it certainly runs well via Proton on Linux. On top of that, the game even supports my default game controller (PS4), without any config. The Demo itself is also quite charming including a camera rotation. Plus it’s free, so give it a try.
