Call for testing: The unofficial Open Syobon Action snap

I would like to announce a call of testing for the open-syobon-action snap. Open Syobon Action (オープンしょぼんのアクション) is an open-source cross-platform port of the unforgiving Japanese platformer using SDL by ちく(Chiku) et. al..

Screenshot of the game running happily in a snap

How to install

Get it from the Snap Store

or, in a terminal:

# Install the snap #
sudo snap install --channel=beta open-syobon-action

# Connect the snap to optional security confinement interfaces #
## Allow the game to access your joysticks ##
sudo snap connect open-syobon-action:joystick

# Launch the game #
open-syobon-action

What to test

  • Can you properly launch the game?
  • Can you use the joystick after connecting the snap to the joystick confinement interface?
  • Do you notice any problems during the gameplay?

Press the ‘O’ key will probably solve them :wink:

If I go to https://snapcraft.io/open-syobon-action, I see “License=unset”. I think it needs to be something else (MIT?)

The license field is unset as the upstream project doesn’t really specify a license to the program, probably due to historical reasons.
