Quick Answer
Yes, you can play Can 'Em All on Steam Deck, but sprinting feels awkward. Proton 10.0-3 works without tinkering in one Linux report. Official Deck compatibility remains unconfirmed, and that report does not establish a Valve rating.
Does Can 'Em All run on Steam Deck?
You can play on Steam Deck, although controller support still draws complaints. One player confirms it runs on the handheld but singles out sprinting as the problem. A separate demo player asks for controller and Deck support, including custom remapping.
Treat those control complaints separately from whether the game launches. The available reports support running the game, while official compatibility remains unconfirmed. They do not establish a Verified, Playable, or Unsupported rating.

Which Proton version should you use?
Use Proton 10.0-3 as your starting point; the single Linux report says it works without tinkering. That is the only reported Proton version available here. The report gives no graphics settings, frame rate, or detailed Deck configuration.
Keep that limit in mind when you choose your setup. A successful Linux report supports trying that Proton version, but cannot promise identical results on your Deck. Measured performance and graphics recommendations are still being added as details become available.
What is wrong with the sprint controls?
Sprinting feels awkward on Steam Deck, but no confirmed button mapping or fix is available yet. You should expect that control issue even though the game can run. The complaint does not identify a specific button, layout, or setting you can change.
The demo feedback also asks for custom remapping and better controller support. That request does not confirm a working remapping solution. Control fixes are still being added as confirmed details become available.
