Out of eight games in the latest Humble Weekly Bundle, seven are available for Linux. And it's a good mix of popular games from indie label Surprise Attack.
One of the games in the bundle is the popular split-screen first-person shooter Screencheat, where everyone is invisible:

You get two copies of Screencheat along with a copy of Vertiginous Golf, which we wrote about yesterday, by paying at least $12.
The $6 tier gives you a three month premium membership plus a bunch of extras for Early Access game Robocraft on Steam, which appears to be the only game published under a different label in the bundle. It also comes with DRM free builds and a Steam key for turn-based strategy game A Druid's Duel and physics puzzle game Particulars.
If nothing in those tiers tickles your fancy and you're scrapped for cash, there are some interesting games for any amount donated too. Oscura: Lost Light is a neat looking puzzle platformer, though it hasn't fared too well with critics. The last Linux game in the bundle is tower defence game OTTTD, which has gone mostly unnoticed by reviewers, but is popular among users on Steam.
You can get the bundle here. And if you can afford it, make sure to donate well above the average to pull up the Linux numbers. It's great to see so many Linux games in a bundle, and though I prefer to pay full price for games I'm interested in to support the developers, this is a good way to get games you're on the fence about.

Make sure you buy the bundle using a browser that has a Linux user agent string.

Damn! In that case I've failed on almost every donation. *Grumble.*

I think that when you log to your account you can choose that which platform you want to be counted as.

You used to be able to change that from your account after purchase, but I couldn't find that when I looked earlier. Did they remove that option?

If you haven't seen OTTTD, and you've ever wondered just what happens to the dead enemies in the lanes of a tower defense game, boy, this game is for you. The lanes get clogged with alien attacker guts.
My biggest problem is the "funny" Ah-nold voice, which isn't funny. OTTTD was the only one in this bundle I already had, and the others are pretty nifty, especially A Druid's Duel, which can and will eat your lunch until you figure it out.

I run the Hidden Linux Gems group on Steam, where we highlight good indie games for Linux that we feel deserve more attention.
