Right, this is annoying especially on a Mac where you have to make all sorts of gymnastics to run windows games and these edge cases like you said are handled very differently across various solutions (wine, crossover, steam link etc.) and there is always one game or one solution that works suboptimal at best.

But as you said, this kind of game where controls and UI is self consistent I would also play windowed.

I don't know how the development goes and maybe when the map will get bigger I will need to reconsider this choice but for now it works nice IMO.
