An interesting little casual game titled Contraption Maker from the developers of Incredible Machine has plans to come to Linux.

@gamingonlinux Wow you're quick! It's technically running on Linux right now, but there is still some work ahead for a public release.

The game will have you solving puzzles by building all sorts of weird and wonderful contraptions where your imagination is the limit.
This could be a really fantastic game for kids to get their creative juices flowing.

Current Game Features
Over 80 Parts: An assorted batch of parts from paper lanterns to cats are available for all of your contraption building needs.
Ridiculous Size: There's no part or size limitation to your contraptions. Build as much as you can to bring your computer to its knees.
Some Puzzles: Although puzzles are not currently the main focus, there are 40 official puzzles and over 100 community puzzles for you to play.
Cooperative Multiplayer: Play online with friends to build contraptions together.
Fun Characters: Toolman Tim and Waldo the Cat are the first of many characters that will add life to your creations.
Layered Background Tool: Use the background tool to create settings for your contraptions to exist in.
Background Animation: Animate your backgrounds with our easy to use background animation tool.
Video Recording: Record and share videos of your contraptions directly from the game without the need of any third party software.
