Mr Shifty is a game that clearly was inspired by Hotline Miami, but features different aesthetics and is focused on using superhero abilities. Also, it doesn't contain gore.
There isn't a release date yet, but apparently it will be next year. The good news is that according to this post they seem to be properly preparing the Linux version since two months ago:
Right now, even the requirements for Linux/SteamOS are already listed in the store page.
I think the game looks interesting, though a bit easy. I hope it ends up having a challenging difficulty that forces you to do complex tricks all the time, like the "multi-dash" seen in the trailer at 0:27.

Game now runs on Linux/SteamOS. Game isn't out yet, but we'll be developing and testing on all 3 platforms (Windows/OSX/Linux).

That looks pretty cool. Although it seems very twitch reflex focused. In the videos the enemies shoot directly at the character, but he seems to get away unharmed by pulling off some extremely well timed teleportations. I am pretty sure that such precision is beyond me.
Thanks for sharing this SangreDeReptil. I greatly enjoy reading about your findings of stuff that I would probably never have heard of otherwise.

I'm glad you both find it nice. Considering that there won't be a third chapter of Hotline Miami because of the way the sequel ends, I think this one might become a good successor.
