Nanomon Virtual Pet: Fun on Your Linux Desktop

Nanomon Virtual Pet is a bite-sized monster trainer game that lives right on your Linux desktop—cute, chaotic, and always ready for action via Windows PC. Thanks to the creative mind of developer Oscar Brittain, this title bursts charm from the very first click. Which you can find on Steam and Humble Store. Picture this: it’s a late-night grind, your RGB keyboard’s pulsing like a heartbeat, and you’re waiting for that next match to queue. In the corner of your desktop, a tiny pixelated egg begins to crack. A pair of enormous eyes peer out, and—boom—your very own Nanomon Virtual Pet is born. Suddenly, you’re not just fragging opponents; you’re raising a bite-sized monster that lives right there on your Linux desktop, hungry for snacks, training, and a whole lot of affection.

...developed in GameMaker! Regarding Linux support, we're not currently working on a native port but it does work technically via Steam's "proton" layer.

Oscar Brittain built the game with GameMaker Studio 2, which offers decent native support for Linux. That said, you're probably better off running Nanomon Virtual Pet through Proton for the best experience. Hey, at least we’ve got options — and some solid support to back it up! That irresistible combo of nostalgia and next-gen charm comes courtesy of developer Oscar Brittain. Yeah, the mastermind behind Desert Child and Kardboard Kings — teaming up with the ever-quirky folks at Akupara Games. Together they’ve pried open the “nanoscape,” a neon-splashed micro-dimension where more than 25 unique creatures are itching to evolve under your watchful eye. Think Tamagotchi meets Adventure Time meets a caffeine-fueled coding sprint at 3 a.m.—all wrapped in a sleek package that runs butter-smooth on your favorite distro.

Nanomon Virtual Pet | Launch Trailer

Why your terminal’s going to blush

Old-school digital pet vibes, modern flair: Remember begging your parents for one of those key-chain pets? Now imagine it’s HD-crispy, vibe-tested on KDE Plasma and GNOME alike, and tucked in the corner of your workspace.

Feed it weird stuff, see what happens: From binary-flavored cupcakes to quantum sushi. Since every snack nudges your Nanomon down a new evolutionary branch. Yes, there’s a broccoli emoji in there somewhere. No, it will not be ignored.

Mini-games that slap: When work emails start to blur, dive into Fishing, Stick-ball, or the surprisingly intense Dungeon-diving mode. Quick bursts of fun, zero alt-tab clunkiness.

Battles with bite: Pop into real-time skirmishes inside the nanoscape and watch your pint-sized pal Nanomon Virtual Pet unleash flashy abilities worthy of a boss arena montage.

The drama of digital Nanomon Virtual Pet parenthood

Leave your Nanomon unattended while you chase a ranked win? It’ll sulk. Forget to feed it during a marathon coding session? It might straight-up ghost you—yes, these critters can pack their pixelated bags and vanish into the code ether. But nurture it, train it, and that bond feels legendary. Few things beat the rush of seeing your once-tiny bud sprout wings, claws, or… a Wi-Fi antenna? Hey, evolution’s wild out here.

Ready to adopt?

Nanomon Virtual Pet bite-sized monster trainer is live on PC, fully Linux compatible out of the gate via Proton. Fire up Steam (or your launcher of choice), drop a few bucks, and you’re in. Whether you’re a hands-on parent who micromanages every stat or a hands-off caretaker letting the little beast roam while you grind. Since this desktop companion fits right between your taskbar and your heartstrings. Which you can find on Steam and Humble Store. But if you want a more drm-free approach to WINE or Proton, it's also on GOG and itch. With a price of $13.49 / £11.51 / 13,31€, including the 10% discount. So, fellow gamers, crack that egg, feed the beast, and let the nanoscape unfold. Your next clutch teammate may just be a 32-bit dragon sitting politely in the corner of your screen—waiting for you to press “Feed” before the next match starts.
