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.

Okay, so this makes me love the open source itch client even more! The client has been updated to 23.3.0 which include some pretty smart updates.

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.

After some delays, adventure game Night in the Woods has officially landed with day-1 Linux support and it looks very good.

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’.

Fumiko! An incredibly strange platformer was sent in by the developer, it was developed on Linux so I was keen to take a look.

I think the premise of this title has a lot of potential, and I hope the developers prove capable of offering a good story in upcoming episodes. In the mean time, the demo is available on itch and GameJolt.

If you enjoy exercising your reflexes with games like 'Velocibox', then you can't miss this new and good-looking action game which is available on itch since a few days ago, under the Pay What You Want scheme.

If you like your fast-paced futuristic racers, you may want to know that Super Pilot could gain a Linux version with enough support.

The developers at itch sure do put the effort in to make their store and client as good as possible and it shows with this latest update.

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.

This was confirmed by Polytron on Twitter. All the money will be sent to an American charity called American Civil Liberties Union.

Sad news, the survival game 'Raft' that really caught my interest for doing something very different has decided to drop Linux support.

The guys over at itch are doing some truly interesting work. The itch store is open to all developers, they have an open source client and they talk openly about their work. A developer of their games client has written up about how they compress data for downloads.

Sleeper games announce "Hyperspace Dogfights", a fast-paced aerial rogue-like action game. Set in the same story universe as their upcoming "Hyperspace Admirals" game, Dogfights is aiming for a Linux beta early this year.

For fans of the awesome itch games website, the client has been updated once again with a number of bug fixes.
