Neanderthallica blends a prehistoric world with a twist of sci-fi, a puzzle-metroidvania that's now supported on Linux and macOS.
In the game you have to master the ability to change the weather, altering the environment and battles. Craft unique gear and weapons, and explore hidden secrets as you journey through humour-filled stone age. Originally released in June, the game received an update August 15th as part of the Ukrainian Games Festival which added in Native versions for Linux and macOS. The update also fixes up a few issues and makes combat feel "punchier".

Why do you have to mention "Ukrainian devs"? Does that make their "game" better than if it wasn't "Ukrainian devs"?

You're free to do so, and others might consider other aspects as well (like supporting people living in a country having been assaulted and forced into a war). Should be fine for everybody, in my humble opinion.
... and then, you did see the part about the Ukrainian Games Festival?
