Steam Deck
Go-Go Town! runs on Steam Deck through Steam's Proton compatibility layer with playable to verified status depending on patch. The game's mix of character movement, build mode, and phone menus benefits from custom Steam Input — map trackpads to camera or mouse cursor and reserve back buttons for phone toggle. Sessions can run long during automation grinds, so battery and suspend tips matter.
Recommended layout
Use community layouts or create one: right trackpad as mouse for build mode, left stick move, A interact, L4/R4 back buttons for phone and sprint.
TAB phone on PC becomes a back paddle for one-handed mayor control while walking.
Performance and display
Lock 30 or 40 FPS for stable battery life; uncap when docked. Large decorated towns drop FPS before CPU limits — reduce zoom-heavy streaming on handheld.
1.0 desert and cave areas are heavier than starter valley; expect fan spin during co-op online.
Online co-op on Deck
Steam friends invite works in Gaming Mode. Use wired headset or Steam voice for coordination.
Host on Deck possible for two-player friend sessions; four-player hosting may heat device — prefer PC host for large groups.
Suspend and cloud
Steam Cloud syncs saves between Deck and desktop PC if enabled. Suspend mid-courier route resumes cleanly in most cases — verify depot queues after resume.
