Another survivors-styled game? Yes! You wanted more right? And this one will also have full Linux support too. Check out the demo for Hive Jump Survivors. Set in the same universe as the 2017 sci-fi action platformer Hive Jump.
"Tear through alien hordes and become unstoppable in this action roguelite set in the Hive Jump universe. Use your jetpack to out-maneuver enemies and traverse hostile planets. Upgrade your Jumper with powerful weapons and abilities to take down bosses and exterminate the Hives."

I quite enjoyed the demo, satisfying gameplay, cool weapons and the jetpak jumping over walls is a nice mechanic that brings something unique to this genre with a bazillion competing entries.
The game is a bit thin at the moment and honestly, the single music track on an endless loop gets old before long. I muted the music and put on some death metal instead, like God intended. \m/
Played the native version from itch.io and it runs great, barely uses any resources at all. The immortal champion Logitech F710 gamepad gets the job done as usual. I imagine it would run swell on the Steam Deck.
Note that it doesn't support wider than 16:9 aspect ratios properly, another case of the classic Unity problem with scaling against the X-axis. If I had a cookie for every time I've seen this, I'd be dead from hyperglycemia thrice over.
