GOL follower hardpenguin sent over a copy of 'Pocket Kingdom' for me to take a look at, and as a fan of the Amiga I had to give it a go.

I was sent in Gearend by a reader, as it not only looks like a pretty good 2D exploration game, but it's also developed on Linux.

We've been waiting a while on it, but Fossil Echo looks like it's finally nearing a release for Linux.

Later than I had originally hoped, but Best Buds vs Bad Guys has officially released for Linux. I actually Kickstarted this game, so I was hoping it would be good.

Super Jagua is a retro platformer inspired by Super Mario Bros. The game recently came to Linux and the developer provided us some keys to throw at you.

SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell, the rather good speed running game has been updated for you to make your own levels and you can download them from the Steam Workshop now too.

The 3D platformer Yooka-Laylee has a confirmed launch date of April 11, 2017 and it will launch with Linux support.

Putty Squad, a platformer from 1994 which had a revamped version in 2013 looks like it's coming to Linux from Virtual Programming.

The developer of Super Rad Raygun sent in a key for me to check out their retro-inspired action platformer.

Best Buds vs Bad Guys is another game that has sadly seen a delay of the Linux version. I'm a little sour here since I funded it on Kickstarter (broke my own rule there!).

Sometimes I get sent really interesting things to cover and sometimes I get sent some really basic, terrible stuff. Porradaria Upgrade & Porradaria 2: Pagode of the Night are two that firmly sit in the terrible pile.

This is one that’s heavy on the action and explosions. With over-the-top weapons and fast gameplay, 4Team is about seeing who the last man standing will be.

BOOR is a new puzzle platformer from developer Dazlog Studio and publisher BadLand Games that will have Linux support.

Cyber Chicken is a parody action platformer from WHOA! And published by Groupees Interactive. I grabbed a key to see if it’s worth a laugh or not.

Cyber Chicken is probably one of the silliest action platformers I've heard about for a while and it arrives on Steam for Linux on November 21st.

Gunmetal Arcadia Zero from J. Kyle Pittman (Super Win the Game) and Minor Key Games (Slayer Shock) is now available on Steam for Linux.

The hand-painted puzzle adventure game by Teku Studios was crowdfunded on Kickstarter three years ago, and was recently released for Linux and other PC platforms on GOG and Steam.

'Circa Infinity' is a game that was originally released on September 9 last year. It features minimalistic but surreal aesthetics, a catchy and atmospheric soundtrack, and a simple but effective concept. Together, these elements unite to create an immersive and truly original experience.

Originally released as part of a Humble Monthly, this retro-inspired platformer is now available for standalone purchase.

'Prison Run and Gun' was a game I discovered because of an IndieDB giveaway, and I kept an eye on it since then. Considering it currently is on sale (60% off), I decided to finally try it. Apart from a particular but serious issue, I don't really have any reason not to recommend it.
