Unity builds the game with compatibility with Windows and Linux, but I can't confirm if it actually works on Linux, I just know that with previous games I made, a friend tried it on Linux and had no problem at all without me changing the build, so... I suppose this one could work on Linux too... but I really don't know (yet).

So could you compile a Linux version for me to test?

Unfortunately, I can't, to put the Linux version I would have to do several tests before uploading it out, and that is every time I upload an update.

I guess you tried to play it on Linux and it didn't work?

Generally, differing OS builds (Windows/Linux/Mac) need to be *built/compiled* on those machines. Linux and Mac have fairly decent compatibility (especially Linux -> Mac) but Windows -> Linux/Mac hardly ever works, or requires you to emulate windows just to run the EXE.

I don't know if you're using a Game Maker tool (as they might be able to produce builds for specific OS versions) or are building it yourself, but in the latter case, you should look into Continuous Integration Builds and a Test Suite tied to it. If you have those two things you can *easily* add a new OS to your Build Suite with just Amazon Web Services.
