Clustertruck released today and I've had a chance to play some of it before the release, here's some thoughts.

That's right, Shovel Knight has somehow found his way into Yooka-Laylee and here's a trailer to prove it.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night the gothic, exploration-focused action platformer has been delayed back into the first half of 2018.

The developer of 'Binaries' sent me a copy of their game to check it out and it's impressive. It's a platformer where you're controlling two balls at the same time, each in slightly different level layouts, it's genius.

We certainly aren't short on action platformers! Dragon Bros recently released with Linux support in Early Access.

That's right GOG fans, you can now buy Super Time Force Ultra for Linux without any form of DRM. Lovely isn't it?

Thanks to the great TheLinuxGamer for the poke on Twitter about it, it seems that 'Owlboy' will come to Linux using FNA.

The developer of Selma and the Wisp sent in a key for me to take a look at the game, the Linux version does have an annoying issue, but it's an interesting experience.

Creepy Castle from Dopterra and publisher Nicalis, Inc. is an exploratory, sidescrolling RPG about an awesome moth. It's confirmed for Linux and will release on October 31st.

RIVE is an action heavy platformer and the final game to come from Two Tribes as they are leaving game development behind. I grabbed a key from my PR people and took a look.

The good-looking and insane RIVE has been long advertised as Two Tribes final release. For those who don’t recognize them, they’re the Dutch studio behind excellent puzzle games like Toki Tori.

Life of Pixel is a game that has been on Linux for quite some time, it originally released back in 2014 and I've finally given it a go. You're essentially playing through the graphical history of multiple eras.

Hue looks like a great idea, it's an adventure platformer where you change the background colour of the world.

GOG add another game to their lovely DRM free library, next up is the simple yet challenging platformer '140'.

Refunct is a very peaceful and simple first-person platformer where you're not really guided by anything but your senses, it's odd, yet refreshing. It also throwns in some Parkour – because why not.

The developers of Refunct emailed me to let me know that the game will launch on Linux on the 5th of September.

City Climber is an upcoming good looking platformer where you need to control a ragdoll character using your mouse or your controller. It was created by one person and right now is looking for votes on Steam Greenlight. There isn't a precise release date, but apparently the game will be finished by next month.

I really love the visuals in Fossil Echo! Sadly it wasn't a day-1 release, but the developers have stated that they're working hard on it.

Miaou Moon is a charming, fun and all around entertaining game. The developer sent in a key for me to take a look, and I'm not one to pass up what could be hilarious.

Slain: Back From Hell is the revamped of the poorly received Slain, now that it's available on GOG and I have been sent a key I gave it a test.
