Blasphemous, a dark and brutal non-linear platformer is currently on Kickstarter and it looks pretty good. It's already funded too and it's heading to Linux.

I know a few of you were waiting on this, the beautiful Rise & Shine is now officially available on Linux as of today.

Gone North Games have added Linux support to their first person platformer A Story About My Uncle, that was originally released in 2014.

Originally console exclusives, this pair of older action titles from the developer of Salt and Sanctuary have been ported by the ever-prolific Ethan Lee. The Linux version has been launched simultaneously with all other platforms on Steam.

With it’s very unsubtle and unambiguous nods and stylistic references to both classic Castlevanias and metrodvanias, this game has tickled my fancy.

I absolutely adored Broforce after completing it, so I'm really happy that Hot Guns supports Linux as it does remind me of it. The game released recently without much fanfare, which is a shame as it's great.

Want a chance to be the villain? Wish granted! Nefarious, an action platform about kidnapping princesses has a Linux version and it's not bad.

Yooka-Laylee, the 3D platformer from Playtonic Games has been released with day-1 Linux support, here's some initial thoughts.

The fun and charming platform inspired by 8-bit era visuals has gotten a shiny new campaign. This isn’t the only major addition and there’s plenty other new content available to enjoy.

Manipulated is a short puzzle-platformer that warns you about having to think. It's certainly not wrong.

Virtual Programming have release their latest Linux port with 'Putty Squad'. It's a remake of the 1994 platformer that shares the same name, but the updated release has crispier high resolution visuals. VP provided me a copy last night, so here's some thoughts.

We certainly aren't short on action platformers, but Nongünz looks like it could easily stand out with the unique visual style.

The latest game from Orangepixel, Meganoid, will launch soon with day-1 Linux support and I have to say for a platform it looks really damn good.

Sumoman is a brand new and rather hilarious puzzle platformer powered by the UNIGINE engine. It released with day-1 Linux support and I took a look. There's also a video of my failures included.
