Linux FIRST Game: Kobo Deluxe (Well, not only linux anymore)
Hey conrads, it's me Turbles Celbor, with the final word in the linux-first or linux only passion project: Kobo Deluxe.
This is a re-make of an awesome game from the early linux days, Xkobo, now with graphics and sound. Despite the title, this game can be played by windows users in browser, and I guess there is also now a MAC version.
Is the title to get attention??? YES! While reading up on this game it turns out people have put it on a TON of shit, including a wii and OS/2
This game is probably one of the coolest arcade experiences I have had period, not just specific to linux. Good job Olofson Arcade!
Kobo Deluxe is a top-down shooter, playable from a linux runtime, and the goal is simply to accumulate points. There are some really incredible players out there, I am not one of them.
IT’S FOSS
You can get the game in the gnome software repos, the fedora repos, or just download the game from the main site:
