With a unique copy and paste mechanic Ruffy and the Riverside is a demo worthy of your time

Ruffy and the Riverside is releasing with Linux support later this year (hopefully - no set date) but you can try it early thanks to a demo release now available.

It looks like a game that would have fit on the Nintendo 64, not just in style but level structure. It's more than just a throwback though, it's thoroughly unique game thanks to the SWAP power. This allows you to copy and paste different textures in the world, allowing you to progress through the adventure. Really fun idea and the game does look great. This is one you're going to want to stick right at the top of your wishlist.
