No idea of the quality, but I saw the same developers have a number of other free games (some are adventure games, some are other types):

Quoting: namikoRight, the "math one" is "Super Solvers: Outnumbered!" and the "reading one" is "Super Solvers: Midnight Rescue".Oh wow - been about 30 years since I've last seen those!

I was another Kickstarter backer, and I'm glad to see the project made it to completion! Sorry to hear the publisher tried to kill the Linux support, but not too surprising - they refused to support Linux for the new Myst collection, even though they used CodeWeavers to (partially?) support macOS:

Quoting: ShmerlI'm guessing the intent there was "... beginning to make *manually mucking about with* WINE obsolete."Platforms like Proton and Lutris are beginning to make WINE obsolete.Wine is really the base of Proton, and without it Lutris won't work with Windows games either, so it's hardly obsolete ;)

Quoting: PhlebiacYes; it seems simply restarting Steam will cause it to want to re-download a bunch of shader caches it just downloaded.Looks like they fixed it in today's beta update.

Of note is that they have eliminated the "Linux games" vs "All games" views. It was nice to see at a glance the counts (how much has my percentage of native games increased?), but that was already broken if you enabled Steam Play globally. Speaking of which, the messaging about the compatibility tool used is missing in this UI (i.e. "Proton 3.16-7 by Valve testing" or "Proton 4.2-5 set by you"). Hopefully they add that back in.
Another issue: if your list of collections/categories doesn't fit in the window, it just gets truncated in the menus (Add To..., Games->Your Collections - I can't see a bunch that are cut off at the top).
When looking at the details of a game, there's a little checkbox in the upper right corner, that says it will toggle a new header style, but when you click on it, it looks like it's to configure where the title gets placed on the game image, or something. Work in progress feature, I guess.

Quoting: DribbleondoNot gotten it to work =/The library just showed a blank window for me, until I realized I had put the steamui folder in the wrong spot. Once I put it where Liam said, it worked. ;-)

Quoting: BeamboomNowadays whenever I start the client it starts downloading shader pre-caching content for a lot of my games. Like, every single day. Mostly the same handful of titles too...Yes; it seems simply restarting Steam will cause it to want to re-download a bunch of shader caches it just downloaded.
