The games store Itch.io has released the first proper public version of their own store client like Steam and GOG Galaxy, but simply named "Itch". It's open source too, so that's cool.
I should probably check out more Itch games...
It's rather simple right now for downloading and installing games, but hopefully it can be expanded in future to allow purchasing and browsing directly, as well as updating and more. Itch was already my favourite indie store, now even more so.
You can find the source code here: https://github.com/itchio/itch.

Seems cool, I will check it out later today but I hope it's easier to install than what I see on the github page.

There's a .deb download too. (I extracted this and manually installed the files on my not-deb system)

It's available in the AUR in Arch Linux, but it looks like the package is still being developed.

Never heard of Ohio Jack game :)Actually the game is Infinitrap. The thumbnail is a bit misleading. Don't know if the Funding Crowd covered the unsuccessful kickstarter campaign back in september. Seems the game was made anyway.

Interesting. I thought Itch was going bankrupt or something.
Desura is.

Wow, even Itch.io beat GOG to the punch with a standalone client for Linux. I'm impressed, despite the relative lack of functionality. At least they care.

Great that they made the client, but it seems like an early alpha so far. There's not way to filter out Linux games or do any sorting, the thumbnails don't work and trying to install a game is futile.

It does seem like a very early release with tons of missing functionality. Go ahead and add your issues to their github tracker though. At least one guy seems to work on it very actively.

Maybe it works on Ubuntu but not on Debian? The .deb did not have any dependencies but maybe the program makes some assumptions.

I must be in the minority of people who could care less if a store has an application or client. I feel kind of like an old man yelling at kids to get off his lawn.
