Sad news folks, Pid a beautiful looking platformer is no longer coming to Linux due to some programmers leaving the studio.

QuoteHi! I'm sorry to say that the programmers that worked on Pid is not a part of Might and Delight any longer and that makes it very hard for us to port Pid to Linux. We would love to do it but it's not possibly at the moment.

Sorry =(

Source forum post

Someone did point out that Humble Bundle have their own porters, so the developer will look into it, but considering how busy Humble are this could take a long time. It could also turn out to be a game for a future bundle, who knows!

Hopefully something will come out of it, as it looks fab! Maybe someone else will step up to it, get going programmers!

About the game (Official)
A young boy named Kurt finds himself stranded on a peculiar planet, and he must find his way home. Finding help from unlikely allies and the curious tools in his backpack, Kurt must use gravity-defying beams to conquer every platform and solve every puzzle on this strange journey. Featuring over 12 hours of action-adventure gameplay and fully-realized co-op, players are poised to experience a beautiful world set to an evocative soundtrack. With twenty-two different locations, dozens of foes and hundreds of secrets, Pid is like your world… only different.

That's unfortunate. Pid is a great game, but it's an odd mix of exploration and hard and hectic challenges that make it difficult to explore. The boss fights are some of the most unique and interesting I've experienced in a game.

Considering that GoL is available over HTTPS too it should use absolute /paths/from/root for pictures on it's own server (like tagline-image). //protocol.relative/urls will do as well, but that's more characters since domain needs to be included.
