A fresh demo for you to try this week, as the top-down 2D action roguelike Shroomwood has a Linux build available for you to shoot your way through.
More about it: "Play as Shroomie, a curious little mushroom navigating the ever-changing wilderness of Shroomwood. This top-down 2D roguelike adventure blends fast-paced combat with dynamic dungeon exploration. Each run through the Shroomwood forest offers new challenges, randomized rooms, and a host of peculiar creatures from classical slimes to zombie-infested mushrooms. Discover powerful weapons, stack unique modifiers, and uncover the secrets hidden within vibrant and unique biomes."

Game Highlights:
- High-Paced Action - We blended the shooting mechanics of traditional roguelikes such as Enter the Gungeon and Binding of Isaac with a brand new melee system to create a roguelike that put a creative spin on the classic tried-and-true formula! There are more bullets, more enemies, more death, and more fun.
- Upgrade your Arsenal - Find over 20 unique weapons throughout your journey!
- Equip Modifiers - There are over 50 unique modifiers with stat changing and gameplay changing effects!
- Visit the Shops - Find a shop in every run to cash in your Shroomstone, recover health, meeting interesting NPCs, and, of course, buy new stuff.
- Explore Shroomstead - In between runs you will spend your time in Shroomstead, a small clearing in the Shroomwood forest where you and your fellow species of sentient mushrooms live. Meet NPCs, upgrade your weapons, discover magical obelisks, and much more!
