'Dustforce DX' isn't on sale currently, but I can't recommend it highly enough. It's something to keep an eye on.

Finally bought Shadowrun Dragonfall for less than three euros. One less game on the wishlist. Also got Spelunky for free, which would be nice if it ran on Linux.
EDIT: Three, not four.

GOG was saying "Also available for Windows and soon for Linux" over a year ago.

Now they offer a free game (System Shock 2) for the next 24 hours or whatever it is, but only to those running Galaxy which is available on all platforms except GNU/Linux. How nice of them! That totally makes me want to go and spend money on their sale. :/
At least Galaxy runs under Wine, but not very well. Well enough to get the game and launch it, only... too bad that unlike Steam, GOG doesn't provide GNU/Linux builds for System Shock 2 either.

That's what I know! But when you clicked on "Download" it was advertised as "Coming to Linux soon!" - now that information is gone.
PS: Yes, GOG Galaxy.
FYI, they still have some text about coming soon for Linux in the source of the GOG Galaxy download page source. They make the visibility of that text conditional on if your OS is considered 'Windows' or 'Mac'. I am not sure why they don't want that text to show up if you are on a different OS.
Here is an image of that source:

Or go to view-source:https://www.gog.com/galaxy and search for "soon for Linux".
