PlayTogether Studio who made Run Prop, Run! and the Mad Experiments: Escape Room series have put up a demo and release date for Puropu Defense Squad. A mixture of a shooter and tower defense.
A curiously silly setting too. An alternate universe where Props have come alive. Yes, Props, the things you would disguise yourself as in certain hide and seek games. Now they must "protect their existence against Earth's relentless human invaders". You assume the role of an elite warrior of the Puropu Defense Squad and your mission is clear: build defences to stop enemies from reaching your precious Extractor, the lifeblood of your civilisation.

Getting some serious Orcs Must Die vibes from this, seems like a whole lot of chaotic fun. The good news is that it has a demo up now you can play for Steam Next Fest that was expanded with more content, and it will release with Native Linux support on December 9th.
Features (from their press email):
Strategic Action: Immerse yourself in a seamless blend of third-person shooting and strategic tower defense. Build a vast arsenal of traps, turrets, and barricades, each upgradeable to fend off waves of enemies.
Unique Characters: Choose from a diverse roster of quirky heroes, each offering radically different playstyles. Whether it’s the explosive might of Mr. Box, the tactical genius of Grey, the swift strikes of Tomusashi, the transpercing Ryush, or the blinding lights of Denkyu—every character brings something unique to the battlefield. Customize them by unlocking new talents in each hero's talent tree, and by acquiring a variety of items and XP-based upgrades to tailor your playstyle.
Co-op Campaign: Embark on a challenging campaign solo or with up to 3 friends. Use powerful abilities and clever tactics to defend your Extractor against increasingly difficult waves of enemies. Unlock new items, characters, and content as you complete challenges. Tackle new difficulties in Elite, Heroic, and Infinite modes, where only the most strategic players will survive.
Endless Replayability: After conquering the campaign, dive into infinite modes where waves of enemies become progressively harder. Master elite modes like Heroic and Infinite to prove your worth as a top defender. Compete for the top spot on global leaderboards in both solo and co-op Infinite modes.
