Shovel Knight, which made a big splash in the gaming community from their showing at PAX East, just announced a Stretch Goal tier for Linux support.
So if you're into retro-style platformers, then be sure to check them out! From their Kickstarter page:
"It's a hot mashup of new and old that may remind you of Mega Man, Castlevania, or Dark Souls! You play as the eponymous Shovel Knight, a small knight with ahuge quest. Shovel Knight has come to this valley with two goals: to defeat the evil Enchantress and save his lost beloved. He wields a ShovelBlade: a multipurpose weapon whose techniques have now been lost to the ages. Always honest and helpful, Shovel Knight is a shining example of the code of Shovelry: Slash Mercilessly and Dig Tirelessly!
"But, between Shovel Knight andhis beloved stands a cadre of villainous knights. These terrible foes, known as The Order of No Quarter, have beendispatched to prevent Shovel Knight from reaching the Enchantress, and will pursue their mission at any cost.
"If you love gameswith perfect platforming, beautiful art, infectious music, crazy bosses, and real heart… Shovel Knight is for you! If you don’t, then what? How could you not be into that stuff? Keep reading, you’ll come around!"

Looks like they've reached their stretch goal to guarantee a Linux version, and the composer for Mega Man 1 and Mega Man 10 is on board. They also apologized for their "weirdo computer" comment.
