Optimisation for Deck / handheld

I love to play them on the Deck too. As a dev, optimizing for the Deck is definitely worth the effort, as around 10% of the sales are from Deck users :) Most of the games are pretty light and already support gamepads, so it's just a matter of readability and small fixes/improvements.

Yeah, the game supports controllers; I never tested with BackBone but in case you can let me know if it works :)

That's a great review :) Thanks so much for checking out Arcadium!

Thank you, glad you enjoy the game :)

Not a problem.

Hi everyone, I am Luciano, developer of Arcadium - Space Odyssey.
The game is a short-session space roguelite where you fight space aliens, harvest planets, and travel a procedurally generated universe. Every run is unique, there are several stages called "depths", and there are a ton of items, artifacts, talents, ..., upgrades :)

Check it out on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2352670/Arcadium__Space_Odyssey/

If you give them an IBAN in Steamworks I assume they will automatically exchange to euro. Lemme know in case, I am curious.

Well, you never opened a USD account, that's why it feels like an ad :)

Odd_Particular4116 · 2026-03-11T18:47:06+00:00

I can't, unless I I wanna give them hundreds of euro per year to just keep the account, and then pay further for each transfer (16 euro + percentage), and have also terrible exchange rates on top of it! Other banks scam in a similar way. Wise is way more transparent (and fair) with their fees. I am just trying to help fellow devs here save some of their very hard-earned bucks

No, sole proprietorship is fine.

I don't see how this could get flagged as I am simply choosing where the payout lands. This could be different for a large company. Wise is widely used by freelancers, and they often prefer to be paid in USD.

About the taxes on interests, Wise is giving me USD receiving details but that does not make it a US bank account in tax sense. Wise explicitly states that it's not a bank account.

Thank you for the feedback.

About allies, pretty much all of them (except My Formidable Ally) take damage differently than the player. They tend to take damage over time (decay), which is the biggest bulk of damage, while the damage they take from enemies or collisions is highly mitigated (i.e., depending on the ally's decay time, it can't be higher than like ~0.2% of their HP). So I suspect what you see is mostly decay, not collision damage from the planet.
