It has finally happened, Team Meat have enabled the Linux version of Super Meat Boy onto Steam!
Super Meat Boy is a tough as nails platformer where you play as an animated cube of meat who's trying to save his girlfriend (who happens to be made of bandages) from an evil fetus in a jar wearing a tux. Our meaty hero will leap from walls, over seas of buzz saws, through crumbling caves and pools of old needles.
Ryan Gordon gave the lowdown on the update version:

Now I have been critical of Tommy from Team Meat in the past but people change, it's now up so all is well for me. Looks like a pretty decent update as well so it's not a simple pushing of the original build either.
Excellent stuff.

QuoteSo there's a massive Mac/Linux update for Super Meat Boy, just in time for it to be 80% off on Steam:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/40800/
Here's the rundown of new stuff.
- Linux version now available on Steam. If you already own the game for Windows or Mac on Steam, you get the Linux version for free right now. Otherwise, your three dollars gets you three platforms of Super Meat Boy, plus SteamOS support some day.
- Now using SDL2, which means...
- ...game controller support that actually works!
- Tons of bug fixes.
- Super Meat World now works on Linux.
- 64-bit support on Mac OS X.
- Steamworks support on Linux (32-bit only, not my fault!)
- Fullscreen support on Mac OS X.
- Better fullscreen support on Linux.
- Mac framerate should be dramatically better.
Updated Humble Bundle builds coming soon, but I'll probably wait a day or two for Steam feedback before packaging it up.
Please be gentle: a lot of code changed, as part of this work was smashing Tommy's Mac port and my Linux port together and fixing things up from there. If you find bugs, please report them at https://bugzilla.icculus.org/ and I'll try to sort them out asap.

It doesn't appear to be live on Linux yet: while the game is listed in the library, it doesn't install anything and gives the usual message "missing executable".

Quoting: Quote from abelthorneIt doesn't appear to be live on Linux yet: while the game is listed in the library, it doesn't install anything and gives the usual message "missing executable".I asked Ryan Gordon about this earlier this morning and he said it should be fixed later today.

Quoting: Quote from killx_denI really didn't know there was a Linux version, or at least I don't remember knowing.... anyway, I will just give a little boost to my Steam Wallet and buy it now! :DQuoting: Quote from MetallinatusWOW O.OWell it was in a Humble Bundle before, so there was a Linux version already, but I wanted it on Steam for Linux :)

Quoting: Quote from abelthorneIt doesn't appear to be live on Linux yet: while the game is listed in the library, it doesn't install anything and gives the usual message "missing executable".It happens with some games (with me 3 or 4 times), they appear as available but it take some time until they are "really" available, we only have to wait a little bit. By the way, my respect to Ryan Gordon once more!

Also the platform has changed some as well as the release of SDL 2.
