VEKTOR 2089, a retro inspired fast-paced racer is planning to come to Linux, I think it looks great and it needs a boost on Steam Greenlight.
If fighting hordes of enemies with fancifully implausible-but-shooty ranged and melee weapons is what you desire in life, Woodpunk might satiate the need. The developers have recently announced Linux support and are looking for enough votes on Greenlight to proceed.
'Disturbed' is a free visual adventure that was released some months ago, which got a lot of favorable reviews from Steam users. Because of this, the single developer behind the game announced, only a few weeks after its release, that there would be a sequel. And now the Steam Greenlight page is finally live.
NEXT JUMP: Shmup Tactics sounds like an interesting game. It's done in the style of old shoot 'em up games, but turned into a turn-based strategy. A tactical shoot 'em up, if you will.
The open source racer SuperTuxKart is aiming to get on Steam before Greenlight is closed, so be sure to give it a vote.

The developer of Almost Epic Adventures : The Goblin's Week emailed in to let us know about their game and it has a rather unusual setting.

Way back in 2014, Valve were approving games from Greenlight in batches. In one particular batch the game 'Northern Shadow' came up on my radar as a very promising looking RPG. Sadly though, it has officially ceased development.
I like survival games, but often I find them hard to get into. Wrongworld looks like it will make that rather easy, as it just looks so damn funny.
I discovered 'Mugsters' recently and after watching the trailer I feel like I just have to play it. It looks downright hilarious.
