Devader is a twin-stick shooter I announced back in November last year, it now has a demo and it's absolutely bonkers.

It's certainly no secret I'm impressed with Starmancer, the Dwarf Fortress inspired space station sim. It has a Linux demo and the funding is still coming in, the stretch goals they've reached sound fantastic.

In the mood to challenge your brain? Dawn of a Soul, a mathematical puzzle game has recently put up a Linux version.

Truthfully, Crossing Souls is not a game I was actually familiar with until GOG emailed me about it. Turns out this sweet action-adventure inspired by the 80's is releasing soon and it now has a demo.
