Hazelnut Bastille [Official Site] is an absolutely amazing looking pixel art topdown adventure and it has plans for a Linux version.
The developers say it takes inspiration from classics like Link to the Past and Super Metroid. Visually, it certainly looks like they could be onto something, it's impressive pixel artwork for sure.

Sadly, it seems the Linux demo isn't quite ready yet, so I've reached out to see if they have an idea of when it will be. I was hoping to give it a go to give some thoughts on it, but I will do as soon as a Linux build of the demo is available. For now, I've included some shots the developer shared.
