The developer of NEXT JUMP: Shmup Tactics sent in a key for us to take a look, so look I did. It's interesting, as it's a mix of a shoot 'em up with turn-based tactical battles.
I do love the itch store, so many great ideas supporting developers. They just rolled out a useful change which allows developers to have a development log on their game pages.
Space Jammers, a game I covered before after being impressed by the early free demo is has continued development and has now had a rather quiet Steam release. UPDATED
I keep a keen eye on 'MewnBase' as it's a cute and simple survival game about a space cat trying to survive on a barren planet. It's had a few big updates recently to know about.
Atomic Reconstruction is a simple-looking puzzle game about splitting and fusing atoms to complete each level. The Linux version launched in January, so it's likely a lot of Linux gamers missed it.
Leaving Lyndow is a short and beautiful looking adventure game that came to Linux due to 'popular demand'. The developer sent in a copy, so I played through it and here's some thoughts.
NEXT JUMP: Shmup Tactics sounds like an interesting game. It's done in the style of old shoot 'em up games, but turned into a turn-based strategy. A tactical shoot 'em up, if you will.
Black Ice is another one high on my list of promising Early Access titles and for good reason, the developer just put out a massive update that changes the game.
Maia, the colony building simulation from Simon Roth has a huge update which includes Lava and colonist relationships. It’s sounding more and more like a heavily simulated version of ‘the sims in space’.
