TowerFall Ascension is a game we only talked about a few days ago as the developer was interested in doing a port, the developer has now confirmed he is working on a Linux port. TowerFall Ascension is an archery combat game heavily praised, can't wait.
Mac and Linux ports for TowerFall Ascension are in active development now :)

UPDATE:
It seems the game is being ported by none other than Ethan Lee (@flibitijibibo):
Yeah so I'm working on TowerFall Ascension too. Workin' on it.

Ethan has ported quite a number of games to Linux and his name will likely go down in the history books for us much like Ryan "Icculus" Gordon's.
About
TowerFall Ascension is the definitive version of the hit archery combat game. Inspired by classics from the golden age of couch multiplayer, it's a 4-player local party game centering around hilarious, intense versus matches. The core mechanics are simple and accessible, but hard to master and combat is fierce. Loot treasure chests for game-changing power-ups, master the art of catching arrows out of the air, or descend on your foes and stomp them into submission. TowerFall is best played competitively with friends, cross-legged on the floor within punching distance of each other.
New in Ascension is the 1- or 2-player co-op Quest mode. Players work together, fighting off a variety of monsters and enemy archers across the land of TowerFall. It's a new adventure to explore when you don't have more friends handy to square off against.
New features in TowerFall Ascension include:
- Brand new 1- or 2-player co-op Quest mode
- 50 additional Versus arenas, for a total of 120 unique maps
- More game-changing power-ups, such as Drill Arrows that burrow through walls
- 4 new unlockable, playable archers, for a total of 8
- A huge list of variants to customize your matches - a total of 67 ways to mix things up
- Plenty of hidden secrets and surprises to discover with your friends
I can't wait, the game does like increadibly fun!
