I rarely play top down action games, but Biodrone Battle does look pretty good enough to make me want to write it up.

Dreaming Sarah has been available in an open Linux beta on Steam since December, but got a proper release last week. The game was made available DRM free for Linux yesterday and is currently on sale at a reduced price on Steam and Itch.io.

It seems pretty standard across stores that they take a bit fat cut of developers revenue, but Itch.io is aiming to change this.

The long-awaited puzzle game by Sokobond creator Alan Hazelden is finally released. Time to solve some challenging puzzles and let the lovely animations by Benjamin Davis and the soothing soundscapes of Ryan Roth melt your heart, as the the snow too melts and makes way for spring.

RogueSweeper is a mashup between a roguelike and a minesweeper game. Tap to reveal tiles, monsters, traps or items. Tap (or click) your way to the bottom of the infinite dungeon. How far can you go?

Sage Fusion 2 is a recent discovery and after trying it out for a bit, I think you guys need too as well. It's a solid mix of story with anime styled characters, and Final Fantasy styled turn based battles.

Cubot is a minimalist puzzle game that has been available since early last year on Itch.io and Desura. Last week it was greenlit and the game is already available on Steam.

Lost Constellation is a supplemental game to the upcoming game 'Night in the Woods' by developer Infinite Fall and is available on a pay-what-you-want scheme from Itch.io.

It's no easy job to explain exactly what Job Lozenge is. That it's a game out of the ordinary is certain though.

Petrichor is something as odd as a point-and-click platformer. It's an interesting game for sure, and it can be downloaded for Linux for free.

In a world where one ball's life hangs in the balance against an infinite amount of track, that you draw!

Airships early access version 5 is out. This release introduces boarding combat, ramming prows, and new ship modules such as sails - and music!

Reckpunk may not look like much graphically, but looks are often deceiving. Reckpunk is one such title as it's a platform where you control the level elements rather than the character for interesting results.

Autumn is one of those games that stretches the term game a little bit. There isn't a lot of interaction required, and it's more about relaxing and watching what happens.

Beyond Gravity has been on Linux for quite a while now on Itch.io, but now it joins the many Linux games on Steam. It's a casual high score fest platformer.

I don't often check out many "retro" games, but Super Scrapped Robot was interesting and it's actually quite good.
