About
Omega Strike is a 2D pixel-art Metroidvania with run-and-gun combat, set in a large open-ended world. Doctor Omega and his mutant armies threaten world domination, and the player controls three freedom fighters — Sarge, Bear, and Dex — each with distinct weapons and traversal abilities. It earned generally positive reviews for its 16-bit-style sprite work, chiptune soundtrack, and witty writing, with the main criticism being its relatively short length. The PC version was self-published by Woblyware (Digerati handled later console releases) and was delisted from Steam in August 2024 following the studio's closure.

⚙ Setup notes
Game: Delisted Steam game (appid 680340), single-player 2D Metroidvania by Woblyware (delisted from Steam on Aug 8, 2024 after the studio wound down). It's a GameMaker title (the data file is data.win).
DRM: Lightweight GameMaker 2D run-and-gun with no GFWL/SecuROM/online DRM — only the standard Steam wrapper — so it runs cleanly under Proton on the Deck.
Proton: ProtonDB tier silver (small sample, ~6 reports); GE-Proton is a safe pick (stock proton_experimental should also work). No special winetricks or launch options needed.
Install: The Windows binary is Omega Strike.exe (next to data.win in the install folder) — confirm against your own install by right-clicking the game in Steam → Manage → Browse local files.
Controller: GameMaker XInput gamepad support is built in, so a controller works in-game; on the Deck, enable the default Gamepad with Mouse Trackpad Steam Input layout if any menu prompts stay keyboard-only.
deckport only configures the prefix; it never bundles or links the game files.
The one thing to know
Supply your own copy. deckport links nothing.
Game: Single-player 2D Metroidvania (Woblyware), a GameMaker title delisted from Steam on Aug 8, 2024 after the studio shut down. Lightweight, with built-in XInput controller support and no GFWL/online dependency beyond the standard Steam wrapper, so it plays well on the Deck under Proton (ProtonDB silver, small report sample).
Install: Binary Omega Strike.exe is from the known install layout — verify against yours.
Availability: At least one community comment claimed the Steam build may still have been buyable for a window after the console delisting, so double-check current store availability before relying on the 'not for sale' assumption.
Offline: No servers to worry about (offline single-player).
Community guides
Write-ups and threads from people who got this (or a similar) game running. deckport links to them — it doesn't reproduce them.
Get the artwork
deckport never hosts game images. Open this game on SteamGridDB, pick
the cover / hero / logo / icon you like, and drop them into the
game folder under .deckport-art/ before you push it to the
Deck. The importer files them under the right names automatically.
Run it on your Deck
Two files: the one-time importer (deckport.py) in your
Deck's home folder, and this game's install helper. Copy the game
into ~/Games and run the helper with Steam closed — it
writes the recipe (binary, launch options, Proton version)
and registers the shortcut with artwork.
