The updated version now available isn't just limited to SteamOS and Linux support, it also adds in official Steam Controller support for it (woohoo!).
About the game (Official)
In Grow Home you play as BUD (Botanical Utility Droid), a robot on a mission to save his home planet by harvesting the seeds of a giant alien plant. On his quest BUD will discover a beautiful world of floating islands that are home to some rather strange plants and animals.
Grow the giant plant and use your unique climbing abilities to reach ever higher ground, but be careful…one wrong move and it’s a long way down!
You can find Grow Home on Steam right now.

They certainly moved quickly though it was only 5 days ago that we got the first signs of steamos movement on steamdb; hopefully this is a sign of what has been happening in the background to the steamos release...
at least we can hope.

Haha, probably none of the above. Grow Home is a Unity game, so "porting" costs are negligible, and it has no uPlay requirement, which would put the kabosh on any of the others getting a Linux port.

Gads, but I'm tired
of developers and companies who say "available for PC" when they mean "available for Windows ." We're all, Windows, Mac and Linux users alike, using PCs. it doesn't stand for Windows, it stands for Personal Computer.

Ok, fine, let's fire up the speculatron and see if we can guess what games will be launching today along with the Steam Machines.
Looking at SteamDB:
- All the Saints Row entries have been quite active today
- Also, Minecraft: Story Mode has been quite busy today (although that's busy every day)
- Looks like Medieval: Total War might well be Feral's next one
Over to you, go!

Well, it works reasonably with the radeonsi driver in my A8 APU. It starts with all in the maximum settings, lowering to 1080p and low settings give me about 25/30fps, so it is in the heavy side, considering the graphics. I can play Borderlands 2 at 1080p with better graphics and higher fps in this APU.
Only played for 5 min, and the joypad use advise in the start of the game came with a irony, since it did not recognize my controller, even using the trick to start the game via Big Picture mode. Some buttons work, but the analog sticks didn't. Oh Unity, you did it again...
In the end, just another "need fixes" Unity port. Let's rope that the developers are quick to at last fix the joypad problem.

Mac has a uplay client; I see no reason why Linux can't have one.
It's not like it's a functional piece of software anyway.
