Life of Pixel features platforming goodness spanning over 72 levels of moving & destructible platforms, double jumps, gravity inversion (walk on ceilings) and lots of different enemies that Pixel must avoid to unlock the history of the pixel.
It differs to the usual platform game by including game types from lots of different machines (and more to come too!) and emulates their graphical style so, it makes this actually quite an interesting one!
On the 11th of May they also announced Linux support without a stretch goal, doing it right!

Awesome game, I really hope it gets funded!
This is precisely the project I was thinking about in our e-mail correspondence about promoting specific crowd-funded games.
I can't say I'm unhappy, though! Life of Pixel looks & feels like a playable piece of video gaming history, and I dearly hope it succeeds.
This looks interesting. I will have to def check that out. I also found a beta release for another game that looks interesting!. http://www.verdungame.com/ :D
Actually, Verdun probably deserves it's own article. It's a Unity3D engine MMOFPS featuring 4-player squads, set in the WWI era, specifically the Battle of Verdun (hence the name). It's not immediately apparent to me exactly how they plan to monetize it (direct sales, F2P, subscriptions?), so there are some unknowns, but otherwise, for fans of historical FPS, it might be quite a treat.
