The hand-painted puzzle adventure game by Teku Studios was crowdfunded on Kickstarter three years ago, and was recently released for Linux and other PC platforms on GOG and Steam.

The Talos Principle is currently one of the two Linux games to use Vulkan right now, so it's great to see them keep updating it.

'Prison Run and Gun' was a game I discovered because of an IndieDB giveaway, and I kept an eye on it since then. Considering it currently is on sale (60% off), I decided to finally try it. Apart from a particular but serious issue, I don't really have any reason not to recommend it.

Slayaway Camp is an isometric and sadistic puzzler where you play as a deranged psychopath who goes on a rampage at an isolated camp in the woods. Although there isn't an official demo available, you can find the free version of the game on Kongregate.

The developer of 'Pavilion' was kind enough to send in a key to their really stylish fourth-person puzzling adventure, so I took a look.

Human: Fall Flat was released on Steam back in July, but it now has a fresh DRM free release. It's an odd looking physics-based 3D puzzler and I gave it a go.

Inklings is an indie lemmings-style puzzle game with simple visuals, guide your Inklings to safety! This game comes from a family team of developers.

Star Vikings from Rogue Snail is a casual puzzle RPG where it plays a little like a reverse plants vs zombies. It feels very much like a casual mobile game.

Recursed, is a new indie puzzle platformer that might just warp your mind a little bit. I've been playing it and don't let the graphical style fool you, it's quite good.

Super Time Force Ultra was recently ported to Linux thanks to Aaron from Knockout Games, now I've had a chance to check out this action platformer I've given it a few thoughts.

'Security Hole' recently released for Linux and the developer sent in a key, so I took a look. It's a bit of an odd game, you're trying to help a virus made out of blocks fit into different shaped holes.

I wrote about 'Pavilion' months ago, so it's pleasing to see it release as promised with day-1 Linux support. The game has some serious style to it.

Future Unfolding from Spaces of Play looks rather unique in style and gameplay. It has a procedurally generated world where you solve puzzles and interact with animals to progress.

Hue looks like a great idea, it's an adventure platformer where you change the background colour of the world.

Pan-Pan was sent over by my friends at GOG to take a look at. I had never heard of it before, but the visuals are so interesting it was begging to be played.

Puzzle fans can't be bored with all the great games we have on Linux. Sekwere has joined the ranks and now has a Linux version available on Steam.

The developer of ChromaGun sent in a copy of the game for me to test out and while I found the idea rather cool, shooting paint around to solve puzzles it does have major issues on Linux.

Orange Moon, a 2D action platformer game with RPG elements and puzzles, full of dangerous native life forms, raiders, remnants of alien civilization and harsh environments. According to the game developer, a giveaway of 60 keys will be celebrated as part of the daily contests IndieDB started making recently.

Sadly this is one game we won't get due to the developer using Adobe Air, as it no longer supports Linux.

Metamorphic was sent in by the developer for me to check out, they claim it's inspired by games like Portal, Minecraft and Mirror’s Edge.
