Volgarr the Viking is a highly rated game that mixes action and platforming, and it's now on GOG for Linux.

About the game (Official)
Remember when games were tough? Return to the Golden Age of arcades with an all-NEW hardcore action experience that pulls no punches. Volgarr the Viking possesses all the hallmarks of the true classics - simple controls, high challenge, and meticulous design - combined with hand-made pixel animation, an epic soundtrack, and buckets of blood. Flex your gaming muscles and step into the arena with Volgarr the Viking. We dare you.

- Classic hardcore arcade action with support for Dinput and Xinput controllers!
- Seven worlds to explore across 30 maps, all bristling with high quality handcrafted pixel animation.
- Over 30 unique traps and enemies, including huge bosses that take up the entire screen!

Find Volgarr the Viking on GOG.com. Purchasing it on GOG will give you a DRM free tar.gz to extract, and then run it from the extracted folder.

If it doesn't run for you, remember to check the card on GOG for the required libs to be installed. I've tested it myself on Ubuntu, and it works great! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

GOG took their sweet time adding it (according to the developer, he submitted the game a long time ago), but I'm glad it's there now.

This reminds me of Rastan. I may scoop this up when I see it on sale.
