Looks interesting, but the trailer is just confusing. I hope they get the mix of game mechanics right!

Quoting: GuestMight pick up Grow Home, stupidly cheap and looks like a fun time.
I liked Grow Home a lot. It is very weird and the controls take a while to get used to, but it has a charming style and I grew to enjoy exploring the world. I recommend it for anyone who wants to try something different.

You have a great list, but this one jumped out at me. It would be a perfect project for Icculus.
Wait, what? It's already out for Linux. Rune too; Kingpin as well. Been for years.

Yes it would be nice to have contemporary ports; but at least they exist.
Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't know. Nice to see Icculus was already one of the main people involved back then. I am guessing that it shouldn't be hard to do an update and build Linux support into the Steam or GOG versions?

Quoting: KelsSo you're a smart bunch, having chosen Linux and all. So let me pose a brain-teaser to you.

If I were to buy only one Serious Sam game, which would it be?
Talos! (Yes, I know, that wasn't your question...)

I don't need either game but want to say that you guys/gals have some great jokes!

(Also, Iconoclasts is great game if you like Metroidvanias)

Little Bug, a really interesting adventure platformer to release this summer with Linux support

It looks really creative, thanks for the heads-up. I look forward to seeing the reviews when it comes out!
