I've been waiting for the Linux version of Contraption Maker, so that's very welcome. And 140 is an excellent rhythm platformer.

@Pit for me, that directory is fairly small.

$ du -hs ~/.config/spotkincm
248K /home/poz/.config/spotkincm

=EDIT=

I downloaded a few user inventions, and now it's 1.9 MB. However, I think it's reasonable enough for devs to put this kind of file there, isn't it? Perhaps better in a cache directory, but this isn't horrible, IMO.

Quoting: WorMzy&lt;usual rant about Giana Sisters&gt;

Humble Bundle page says Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams will be available for Mac and Linux later this year.
They did not need to change the text... ;)

Quoting: GuestSo just refering to 'this kind of file' is a bit lame without specifying what exactly we are talking of.
Wow, that escalated quickly. In any case, "this kind of file" was specified in the previous sentence, i.e. "user inventions".

Quoting: GuestI hope you agree that 1.9MB is something different from 494M. And I did not download any user inventions etc. as the game would not run at all.
Yes, I do agree. I was merely pointing out that "for me" (to quote myself) it was different, just in case people were turned off by these apparent bugs in some systems. There's no need for snark.

For me, after deleting the lib files in the links, it works fairly well. (I'm not 100% sold on the gameplay, TBH, but that's another story…)
