I bought it instantly and just as soon found out that it does not work on my linux at all...but the dev is really forthcoming and is working on the issues!

This was an instabuy for me. Fantastically silly and varied for the price tag and even better with friends :D

Quoting: ElectricPrismFeels intended for ages 8 - 14.

Yes. I do not know what's intended but yea, it certainly appeals to the kids.
Much fun has been had here at home tweaking the setup and fighting on LAN. Game of the month here :)

Scraps...is actually very good fun! Very satisfying to climb the XP ladder and get access to lasers and plasma cannons. Really quite intense to charge across the plains, all 16 (!) lasers focused at a single point, searing and burning off the opponent conventional cannon before too many of the shells hits your own vehicle.
There's also quite an element of strategy in finding the best composition for the vehicle. Fast and nimble? Forward facing of turrets or auto-cannons distributed across the hull to increase the difficulty of hitting a single one of them.

It's still in early development but the base mechanic is very solid. I'm hoping for further improvement to the landscape, more game modes, more elements to play with. Would be thrilled to have some slightly more wacky stuff and elements thrown in, jet boosters to jump away from combat, invisibility, custom block modding, hovercraft, water?

I'm very much looking forward to play this on LAN with my sons once I've set up another spare computer.

Damn! In that case I've failed on almost every donation. *Grumble.*

How can I make my HumbleBundle donation count against the Linux total?

Linux: fixed some cases where the first time launch would show the game half way out of the screen on dual monitors

Yaaay!...for this fix :)

I really want to like this game, and I really do for short periods, but it is far too unforgiving in the car handling and the physics is also a bit like driving on the moon in icy conditions.

It'seems got fantastic potential, though, and a tremendous track editor.

Quoting: Quote from ApopasI have 102 games on Steam all Linux compatible (most of them through HumbleBundle) and only 66 are playable in Linux.

That's...strange. What kind of Linux are you on and have you tried them all?
Do you have a couple of examples of what games are not playable?

Oh, do I like the premise of this game! But for the love of ...err....money?... Please, please do allow us to scroll left and right by dragging anywhere on screen.

Using the left and right buttons placed on opposite sides of the screen just takes sooo long. Disclaimer: Playing this on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. It might be different on mobile platforms.
