Pulstar has been updated on Steam to add a Linux version! Pulstar is a fast paced arcade game that brings back the basic of its genre, and it sure is vibrant.

Pulstar is a fast paced arcade game that brings back the basic of its genre. No nonsense, just kill as long as you can to gain the highest score as possible! This concept gives Pulstar the challenge and high replay value real fans of this genre need!

Pulstar also has a local co-op multiplayer, which means you can team up with your buddy to dominate the world rankings!

I think the graphics while simple are really quite beautiful, and it looks like a great arcade game to smash some high scores on with friends.

Features:
- easy to play, hard to master concept
- build up audio and visual experience as you kill more
- activate Pulsetime to slow down the time around you
- local co-op multiplayer
- battle against the world with online leaderboards (single and multiplayer)
- dual analogue control support
- including Steam achievements and Steam gamecards

I think it's fair to add a comment about the quality of this game. It's got a metascore of less than 40, with reviewers saying that there's essentially three kind of enemies repeatedly attacking - and that's it. Period. You see the entire game in the trailer.

Sounds like another mobile phone port but it seems it's just released for PC. Either way, I think it's fair with a warning. I for one won't support these kind of releases despite them supporting Linux.
