How to install

Get it from the Snap Store

sudo snap connect open-syobon-action:joystick

# Launch the game #
open-syobon-action

  • Can you hear the sound effects after launching the game?
  • Can you use the joystick after connecting the snap to the joystick confinement interface?
  • Do you notice any problems during the gameplay?
