SiNKR 2, a sequel to the multi-award winning minimalist puzzle game SiNKR is on the way! Releasing on May 9th, with Linux support. Fantastic to see continued Linux support, especially for such an interesting looking puzzler.
SiNKR 2 is a minimalist puzzle game evolved from the award winning SiNKR. There is just you, hooks, pucks, and various contraptions. SiNKR 2 employs familiar contraptions (square and round holes, kickers, and portals) in new layouts, e.g. spirals; linear and rotational symmetry.
Subtle differences within level themes drive different solutions to superficially similar scenarios.

The developer, Robert Wahler, has already provided GamingOnLinux with a review key so we will be taking a look at release. I can at least confirm already, that it does work fine on Ubuntu 19.04. Our contributor, BTRE, actually took a look at the original game and you can read their thoughts here if you're interested in trying out the first entry.
As a software developer, I have to hold a lot in my head in order to follow the code and get to the root of a bug. I become less interested in it in my puzzle games. I start to think of ways I could write a program to manage the game's complexity for me instead of trying to solve the puzzle itself.
