Help me remember the name of this game


Can someone please remember the name of a Linux game? I used to love it years ago, but back then it was difficult to make it run because of dependencies so I stopped playing it. All I know about it:

- It was a 2D space shooter.

- The ship would fly rather slowly and go up/down/left/right in a large space area to hunt and attack small bases. These bases would counter attack with cannons, but also send foes against me as soon as I got near the base.

- Some bases varied in size, but not much. Most of them were pretty close to each other. Each one had a "soft spot" and the entire base would blow up when that spot was hit.

- The goal was to destroy all bases.

- This game required SDL libraries, including sound.

I've been searching it in Google and repositories with no success. I hope someone helps me.

TIA

I am not sure which game that is, but is it by any chance on this list?

Thumbs up Found it

OK, I finally found it. It's called Kobo Deluxe. Very addictive.

Thanks for the attention. Happy new year to everyone.
