A random shot in the dark of mine, but it seems to the developer of JASEM [Steam, Official Site], the self-described 'insanely hard' twin-stick shooter could see Linux support.

About the game:

Do you need any reason to shoot your enemies in game? Because JASEM doesn't give you one - just you, your weapons, crazy beats and enemies. And you need to shoot every one of them, and it's up to you to make it the most hilarious and explosive way.

Here's what the developer said in response to my query:

Hi, sorry for slow response. I made Linux version, but didn't find the way to test it - and it could be various problems with shaders and performance, so until I find testers I can't release it.

Pretty positive response! So if you fancy testing, let them know in the Steam forum post.

Here's a follow up: It is now being sold as supporting Linux. Apparently, this was done after just a few (or only one?) people tested it for a very short amount of time. I mailed the developer to tell him that I would be available for testing, to which he replied that is already was tested. (And supplied a key for me. Unexpected but of course very nice of the dev.)

As I see now, it also came out of EA today, so it is actually being sold as a full Linux release. It works for me, but I have to say that this is not how "testing a release candidate" should be done. I would be wary. Of course, with Steam, you can just return it if it doesn't work.

Apart from that, after having played a bit: I'm a little bit puzzled that it came out of EA already. It doesn't look and feel quite ready. I have to play it for a bit more and write a Steam review.
