The game is out on Linux now!
Keep in mind that there might be some problems on certain Linux distros, and we're not sure how to fix all of those problems, but we have added a file with install instructions in the folder containing the executable file (the same install instructions can be found in this Steam guide) and we recommend reading it.
Shout-out to:

Starturbo for compiling the Linux builds, setting things up, as well as writing the install instructions.
Zeera the Zesty for checking if the game starts up on Steam on her Linux device.
Mj.Jernigan for this blog post that helped us fix some problems.

v1.0.9 Update
Changelog:

Fixed a bug where Noah's charge attack (which requires you to hold the Melee Attack button and the Down button and then release them when the charge is complete) doesn't work when the Down button is released first.
Fixed a bug in a submenu of the pause menu where the mouse cursor didn't interact with the menu properly.
Reverted a change from last patch: The fix for the bug where, on a DualShock controller, the submenu of the pause menu that lets you rebind input buttons would show the touch pad as the PS button. Turns out that this wasn't a bug, the button id (which corresponds to the select button on Xbox controllers as well as PS3 DualShock controllers) does in fact correspond to the PS button on PS4 DualShock controllers, and Game Maker Studio 1.4's manual is just... wrong... about this. Note to self: don't expect the official manual of a product you bought to be accurate all the time. Got it. Thanks.
