1. it wont work well
2. you will have to do a bunch of things with your phone to even be able to launch the launcher

I'm currently trying to run it under termux but I don't get much success, mainly beacuse of appimages i think

I'll run it on a raspi mainly as a POC that you CAN run Bopimo as is on Arm64, without having to recompile it for that.

also, the steamdeck will run Bopimo, it's based on linux, so you can just run the linux .appimage

you can, hell i using one right now as we speak. That aside, it is rather awkard; for one, unless you hook up keyboard and mouse, controller is never on by default. Meaning you alway have to switch it everytime you join new game.

On addictional note, at the moment there no way to add Bopimo into Steam, meaning you have to uses Desktop Mode to play it. It uses Appimage instead of flakpak (which for some damn reason, appimage isnt supported for Steam Deck, I have to uses some work around it)

Bottom line, Bopimo seem to aim more so for Desktop Users and not so much on Handheld user (since it is new market after all). Hopefully they add flatpak support so it be much easier to play this on Steam Deck. But since Bopimo just got released, I give them benfits of doubt.

Agreed they should add flatpak

Well, appimages kinda work like executables, even then, the way bopimo is made you can't actually play it on a steamdeck, because of the site and stuff...

it's odd too because marking appimage as executable on Linux Mint (my choice of OS) works like a charm but doing the same thing on Steam Deck and outright don't work

I did use Windows version instead with Steam Proton and it sorta did the trick

But yeah, consider Bopimo relay on your Browser, I doubt it gonna work well on gaming mode regardless
