Polyball is quite a weird game to describe really, as you're just controlling a ball and racing along platforms across various levels. That doesn't sound like much, but it's actually pretty fun.
The developers of Codex of Victory emailed in to let me know that their turn-based strategy with real-time base building elements will release this month with day-1 Linux support.

I had the pleasure of talking to Simon Roth, a developer I've followed for quite some time now about his game 'Maia', about Linux and other bits. Linux sales for Simon are 'approaching ten thousand', which is impressive.
