Story-driven metroidvania Clunky Hero has you fight drunk bees

This looks surprisingly good. I have a weakness for metroidvania games, though.

This looks like such a sweet little game. Cheeseness, do you think you will release on Steam some day?

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLmost of ppl want stable package
Yup, that is me. It is great that you find the fresh packages stable. However, having run various versions of KDE for 18 years I will let others be in the front-line these days ;-)

As much as I love plasma, I don't have the space to run beta software any more. Lots of respect to the bug-testers, though!

It is amazing to me how much the KDE project has accomplished without being backed by companies like Red Hat or Canonical.

That does look good. FYI, the main image is a deceptively mundane puzzle. For anyone wondering, the steam intro trailer gives a better feel for the game.

I tried the Demo and have some mixed feelings.

The visual style and world-building are excellent. It has a very cohesive feel to it.

However, the combat felt floaty and imprecise. It may just be me, but I have been playing many kinds of games for decades.

I don't mind high difficulty, but that relies on the game feeling like my deaths are my fault, not the game design's fault. Perhaps this aspect is still being adjusted, so I look forward to the finished product.

I like low-poly games when done well. But, yeah, maybe they should have left the faces blank like in AER.

Haha. Nice stealth shout-out to SweetHome3D. That program is an amazing example of Java portability done right (surprising us all).

I keep feeling like I should be using a proper CAD program, but SweetHome is just so damn versatile if you are designing a house...

Inspired by the likes of Hollow Knight, Dead Cells and Castlevania
Good inspirations. Graphic style looks good. Let's hope they can create a solid game out of it.
Steam has a huge indie game sale for The Indie MEGABOOTH live now

It is worth going to the Steam page - there is quite a list of Linux games.

That flying game Fugl is also in the list. I might pick it up even though it breaks my "no early-access" rule.

(Oh, and anyone who likes Metroidvania games should buy Sundered.)
