Featherpunk Prime is a new indie platformer with a lot of action that has been created by only two people. Its release date is September 1st on Steam and Humble Bundle.
Since there wasn't any kind of mention of a Linux port even in the official site, I decided to ask them at the Steam forums and this is what they replied:

Hey! We working on a few issues with Linux. If we don't resolve them for the Windows release (1st Sept) then we hope to shortly after. I'll keep you updated!
The title looks quite promising, so let's hope they can manage to solve all the issues left for a simultaneous release, and above all, that the game it's as fun as it appears to be...

Obviously, if you liked what you see, remember to wait until the Linux port is available in the stores to buy it!

About the game (Official)
Featherpunk Prime is a twin-stick shooter-platformer set in a neon-soaked mechanical world. You play as a badass Cyber-Flamingo with the agility and firepower to take down Cybirdroid, the evil corporation that has captured your fellow flamingos. (...)
Key Features
-Challenging Combat: Combat grows more intense as you ascend the tower, yet more rewarding as you hone your skills and learn strategies to eliminate enemies. Use your surroundings wisely and make sure you prioritise the right foes. Find space between bullets, dodge projectiles and be wary of warbots hunting you down!
-Super agile Cyber-Flamingo: Tight and responsive controls are combined with a range of moves; you can boost through the air, slide under projectiles, cling to walls, dodge attacks, crawl through ducts and… stand on one leg.
-Brutal Boss Battles: (...) They’ll unleash relentless waves of attacks; you’ll need to stay on your claws and use all you have learnt to take them down. Eliminate these brutal bosses to unlock checkpoints and upgrades, such as the Shockwave attack or Overdrive mode!
-Weaponry and Upgrades: Every floor gives you a new weapon from the ultimate arsenal. Wield classics such as the shotgun, minigun and crossbow, or unleash bouncing bullets, remote mines and heat seeking rockets. Collect Tekcells from bio-eggs and defeated enemies and use them to buy upgrades including more firepower, faster reloads and increased critical hit damage.
-Unpredictable Tower Configuration: Each time you enter the configuration is new, offering fresh routes to the exit. The Cybirdroid tower is constructed from carefully hand crafted sections, connected together differently each time you enter. You'll also encounter various traps and hazards, so stay alert!
-Killer Avian Disco Soundtrack (...)
-Full support of gamepads and keyboard/mouse, with fully customisable controls.
-Fully animated cutscenes tell the story with style!
-Collect the 20 missing Dataspheres hidden in the tower
