You Have to Win the Game is a truly authentic and frustrating retro platformer complete with a crt effect to give you a rounded screen.

You all love puzzle platformers with cute characters right? Full Bore has that and more, it's really well put together and the graphics are quite fancy.

MouseCraft is a quirky mix of Lemmings and Tetris where players help a group of mice in their relentless quest for cheese, guiding them to their goal by stacking different types of Tetrominoes along their path.

Full Bore is a game I completely fell in-love with when I played a bit of part 1 when it was released for Linux. Thankfully part 2 is due to release in few days!

We already let you know last month that Battleblock Theatre would have a Linux version, the best news is the date is now set for the release and it will be simultaneous on Linux & Windows.

You may remember that I spoke to the developer of the awesome goat simulator (joking) puzzle platformer Escape Goat 2 after the first week about their Linux sales. The good news is after a month sales for Linux are still good.

In the latest instalment of GOL Cast a member of the community 'Half-Shot' takes a look at The Swapper the atmospheric puzzle platformer.

So once again the world relies upon my puzzle solving skills. I feel sorry for the world already. At least we can take a look at what these interesting environments have to offer before certain doom. Let's see what TRI is all about...

TowerFall Ascension is a highly praised indie game originally exclusive to the Ouya. Thankfully it is no longer exclusive and may even come to Linux.

Element4l getting a Linux version has been something Linux users have been requesting for some-time now. I am glad to be able to tell you the Linux beta has now arrived.

The Dungeoning is a new and very colourful roguelike platformer on Desura for Linux. Featuring random levels and permanent death to keep you frustrated.

You know that I am often quite bad at platformers. Luckily this time the game actually requires me to get gruesomely killed to progress in this just released game. Like the title says, Life Goes On.

When four spies of the Sons of Liberty are arrested infiltrating The Province House, their children join Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and the Sons of Liberty to finish their mission and break them out as the threat of Revolution looms over the Colonies...

In T.E.C 3001 (Tesla Energy Collector), you are guiding a cutting-edge technology robot to collect virtual space energy leftovers for humanity. It looks as crazy as it sounds.

Sadly this one seems to have been missed, it was released last month for Linux, but as it's not a brand new game (only new to Linux) it didn't pop up as new to Linux on Steam. Ballpoint Universe Infinite is a shoot-em-up adventure game featuring artwork entirely drawn in ballpoint pen.

Sipping on absinthe in a dark and potentially dangerous place doesn't seem like a good idea. But then again Spate is already pretty weird, so why not spice it up a bit more? Let's see what this piece of mystery and weirdness has to offer.

Shipwrecked. Captured. Betrayed. Forced to perform for an audience of cats? Yes, all that and more when you unlock BattleBlock Theater! This game just sounds funny!

Spate is a very unusual looking platformer with a full-story about the death of your daughter and your battle with alcoholism. It has some of the most fantastic looking back-drops i've ever seen for a platformer.

Remember You Have to Win the Game? The fun super-retro platformer I did a video of? Well Super Win the Game has been announced as a sequel, I can't wait!

The community manager for Unepic a fun looking 2D Platformer-RPG has confirmed that the Linux port has made "good headway", so we should hopefully see it this year.
