Get Beatbuddy. If you like electro-swing and rhythm-ish gameplay.

I noticed that Project Highrise is pretty cheap right now as well. ($6.11 US w/extra 10% from monthly)
The problem is that it has no official linux support (but does have linux build threads on Steam.) Those threads have some activity, but does anyone here have it? Does it work ok?

Project Highrise is one that annoyed I got it in a bundle and put it on my windows steam account only to find it has an unsupported linux version.
I've played a couple of hours and the game runs fine, it does have that bug with not starting if you have a prefs directory, but just playing it I have run into no issues.
There have been 2 sizable updates since I have had the game which makes it weird that the bug is still not fixed.
oh just had a quick look again and discovered I can build above air but need a special block.

The bug with the prefs directory only happen with the 64bits build, rename the 32bits build with the 64bits build name, change the 64bits build name and you can save your game.

Every time I even look at Humble Store I get discouraged by how awful their tagging system is. The way it often forgets selections or does nonsense such as showing games which have DRM Free Windows builds only even though I have Linux selected as a platform as well. Browsing for anything on there is a pain.

I noticed that a few games, in particular Northgard and Darksiders II are listed on Humble with Linix support but Linux isn't shown as supported on Steam.

This happen to me for the first time. I bought a game thinking it was a linux game from a stack I had in the cart. They refunded right away, though.

I'm not sure when they started this notification but I did like it. I do not use windows at all so I am not sure whether or not they pick up the Operating System from my browser id string or if they associate my account with linux after selecting that many times when purchasing/downloading bundles. (I assume they use the browser id string because that woud work for first time buyers as well.)
I bought a game thinking it was a linux game from a stack I had in the cart.

I had never saw this before, but I like it. It also happened on a free title they had the other day (Oddworld, I believe).

I wish I would have gotten that notification. It's been almost 2 decades since a Windows computers has touched my hands.
