what's the name of this PC game I played a few years ago? [solved]

Post by pepperminty »

i played a game a few years ago, maybe in 2016. it was an indie game. one person created the entire game. i think it is two sylabbles.
single player game. I played it on Windows OS. (It may be available on linux, but I played it on Windows OS)
you start your game, IIRC, outside of a building, and then you can crash into the glass panes. You can stop time anytime you want. you use a gun, i think.

the next game he created has the same pause-time mechanic, but is now set in outer space.

Hi pepperminty,

Maybe you can find it in these links...

The "Steam" game system for Linux may have some of the Indie games...

Apparently, there is a Linux Application for these indie games on "itch.io"? You have to register or login and if registering a new account, check email to verify and activate your account. If you had an account on "itch.io" before, even under MS Windows, and you saved the games to your account, then they should still be there...

Download the latest indie games - itch.io
https://itch.io/

Installing on Ubuntu & Debian · The itch.io app book - itch.io
https://itch.io/docs/itch/installing/li ... ebian.html

Code: Select all

sudo apt install apt-transport-https gedit

Code: Select all

wget -O - https://dl.itch.ovh/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
Create a software repository text file for Indie Games from (itch.io) for Linux Mint 18.x and Linux Mint 19.x

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/itchio.list
Add the text below to the new text file, save it, then close the text editor.

Code: Select all

deb https://dl.bintray.com/itchio/deb xenial main
Run the command below

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install itch
You may need to restart before trying it.

Now check you menu for "itch" games. Some of these games work well in the browsers too, I tried Google Chrome for a pinball game and it worked.

HI pepperminty,


That is great that you found it. Where did you find it?

Can you play it in your Linux Mint system?
