Mighty No. 9 is now actually live on both Linux & Mac

Good news platformer lovers, as Aaron from Knockout Games sent word that the Linux & Mac versions of Mighty No. 9 are now actually live on Steam.

Worked on this on and off for the past two years. My first UE3 port. It wasn't easy. Please enjoy :-D... https://t.co/bhgWnjCzlM

I'm not a big platformer fan myself, so I wont be personally checking this one out. The reviews have me worried about it too, but I have no thoughts on it as I haven't played it of course.

About the game

Mighty No. 9 is a Japanese 2D Side-scrolling Action game that takes the best elements from 8 and 16-bit classics that you know and love and transforms them with modern tech, fresh mechanics, and fan input into something fresh and amazing!

You play as Beck, the 9th in a line of powerful robots, and the only one not infected by a mysterious computer virus that has caused mechanized creatures the world over to go berserk. Run, jump, blast, and transform your way through twelve stages using weapons and abilities stolen from your enemies to take down your fellow Mighty Number robots and confront the final evil that threatens the planet!

Every aspect of Mighty No. 9’s development—art, level design, music, programming, etc.—is being handled by veteran Japanese game creators with extensive experience in the genre, all the way up to and including the project’s leader, Keiji Inafune himself!
