Mondrian - Plastic Reality on Steam Deck Compatibility Info


Hello friends! It's been a little while since we've posted anything here, so we thought no time like the present for helping convince you to play Mondrian on your Steam Deck!

While the game is not officially verified, we would like to personally assure you that the code has gone through extensive optimization to be as good as we've been able to get it. With that in mind, here is how things look compared to Steam's official verification requirements:

[h3]Input[/h3]
  • Controller Support: Mondrian - Plastic Reality has full controller support, and in fact, this was prioritized specifically because of wanting the game to play great on Steam Deck.
  • Controller Glyphs: Out of the box, the game defaults to Steam Deck/Xbox One controller glyphs. You can of course change these in the Options menu if you prefer.
  • Text Input: The on-screen keyboard pops up for naming your levels and inputting your author name in Mondrian Maker.
[h3]Display[/h3]
  • Resolution Support: The game will automatically scale to 1280x720 on the Steam Deck's screen. You will get black bars on the top and bottom of the screen but these do not interfere with gameplay.
  • Default Configuration: Mondrian has been optimized to never drop below 60fps. You should have a very smooth time whenever you play.
  • Text Legibility: 99.99% of all text in the game should be legible and meet the minimum size requirements. In particular, all important menu and story text absolutely does. If we missed some, please let us know.
[h3]Seamlessness[/h3]
  • No Device Compatibility Warnings: We have never received a Device Compatibility Warning on the first gen Steam Decks which were used for testing. You should also be golden here.
  • Launchers: Mondrian does not have any launchers or anticheat clients which would get in the way of you opening the game.
[h3]Proton[/h3]
As Clickteam Fusion Developer 2.5+, the game's engine, does not include a Linux exporter, Mondrian will always run under the Proton Compatibility Layer. However, any bugs related to this were cleaned up about two years ago. Your experience playing the game under the Proton Compatibility Layer will be excellent.



Since we don't expect Mondrian to ever be a priority for verification, we wanted to come here and let you know what you can expect out of the experience.

Thank you for reading and thank you for playing!
