The Valentines day Indie Royale bundle of 5 games includes native linux game Lume which can at the moment be purchased for a minimum of £2.71. Looking at the trailer below Lume is quite an attractive looking game and looks to be worth the £2.71 not sure if the other games can be played through wine, but its still not a bad price.

I was mostly pointing out that it being a Flash game means that it was just wrapped up with a linux flash runtime, and wasn't ported as such.
This is in contrast to the HiB were they actually convince the developers to do a port, or do it themselves.
Now if the game has problems due to the engine (like flash, Air or Java non-portability) then it's a bug in the game as far as I'm concerned and it's the developers problem because they chose the technology. Likewise, if they don't ship the runtime or if I have to mess with the runtime to make it work because they didn't deal with the it, that's also their fault.
Give me an executable to run, binary or script and make it work. If that happens, I don't care if it uses C, C++, java, flash, lisp or bourne shell under the covers. For that matter, if they ship wine with the game AND they support the wine they ship such that it works well and I don't need to know it's there, I don't see how I can complain. I'd consider it foolish on a developer's part, but it's not my problem.
Adobe hasn't always provided the best support for Linux. Developers will then some times point the finger at flash when their software has problems on Linux. It's not unreasonable but users to be irritated.
If it were native and it worked on some version Linux, the user at least as the ability to get the right dependencies to make it work on their system. Regardless of whether you want to blame the developer or Adobe, it's not the user's fault when a flash program fails. The user is usually pretty powerless to do anything about it aside from switch OSes to something Adobe and/or the developer supports better.
