SiNKR native Linux Steam Deck compatible build
SiNKR is fully compatible with the Steam Deck and uses a native Linux build. SiNKR 2 is currently Steam Deck Verified so I expect all three SiNKR games to eventually be verified as well since they all share the same input DNA.

SiNKR Multi-Step Undo, Level Diagrams, Control Mapping

Hey Everyone,
I pushed a big update to SiNKR today with changes backported from SiNKR 3! Multi-step undo is the biggest one, followed by new level diagrams in the the level selector.
If you need an excuse to replay SiNKR, my suggestion is to play the game in portrait mode. The levels will automatically rotate 90 degrees. See photo below. The simple rotation slows me down and I get to reinvent the same (or different) solution. Give it a try and let me know, is is just me that finds the rotation a challenge? BTW, this trick also works on SiNKR 2 and 3.
Here is the full change list:
Multi-step undo including undo past level failure and level reset
Add level diagrams for unlocked levels to level selection menu
Keyboard and controller mapping, including new bindings for next level `N` and previous level `B`
Engine updates bring UI refinements, color grading, and dithering
All of these changes have also been ported to SiNKR 2
