This might be one of the most unique games I've ever played. Windowkill from torcado just released on Steam with Native Linux support and it's use of multiple moving windows really changes the bullet-hell genre.

    I wonder how this interacts with tiling window managers…

      Hyprland implements specific functionality for titles like this!

    Nice, hope this gets brought over to Wayland once Wayland & Godot-Wayland support matures enough.

      the protocol for windows positioning is not merged, and it look like it’s gonna need that

        That’s not the only thing it’s missing, it’s also missing the multi-window icon protocol and various other things.

      Worked fine on Wayland + KDE Plasma for now, although that of course would be XWayland but at least that does still work fine.

    Its hard to imagine resizing that many windows can be smoothly done. Has anyone played this?

      Played it this morning on MX Linux and it was smooth as butter, I was not though, my reaction times were comically bad. Pretty fun and visually interesting game though!
