The Escapists 2 launched recently with day-1 Linux support, Team17 sent over a key and I’ve taken a look.

Molecats is a puzzle game about indirect-control, where you adjust the environment to let these weird creatures get to safety. The developers just put out a Linux version of this Early Access game.

Suicide Guy, a game about killing yourself. Despite the name, it's not actually about suicide, depression or anything like that.

I mentioned spaceBOUND recently, but it didn't really work. Thankfully, now it will if you use the usual Unity trick to overcome the broken fullscreen. It's a clever game too, well worth a look.

More than an indie Portal-like, SolarGun offers up some interesting puzzles and overall it seems like a pretty decent puzzler.

Downward is an extremely impressive and downright beautiful parkour game. Recently it left Early Access, but the Linux version was a bit behind, now it's not!

Kindergarten a very highly rated abstract puzzle adventure has made it's way onto Linux. It seems the developer isn't expecting many sales, so perhaps we can change their mind? It does look pretty good!

The Inner World - The Last Wind Monk, a colourful adventure game was due this month, but it seems it has been delayed until September 14th. They've got a newer trailer though, so that's something.

World of One is a cleverly designed and rather creepy puzzle platformer that you should consider taking a look at.

I must say that at the very beginning I thought the concept of the game was going to be extremely simple and boring, but by the tenth level it not only proved me wrong, but also I was completely hooked with it (no pun intended). There are free levels on Kongregate if you want to give them a try!

A port of a formerly mobile-only game, the game combines basic puzzle solving with a minimalist style and precise gameplay. I played the new HD edition and have a few thoughts to share.

In the mood for a more relaxing game? Well klocki might be what you need for those Monday blues. It's a simple puzzle game about fitting shapes together.

Grab the Bottle from developer Kamina Dimension is a really weird snake-like game about some weird mutant person with an extending arm.

I've had some time to play World to the West, a 3D follow up to Teslagrad where each character has some unique ability.

I know a few of you were waiting on this, the beautiful Rise & Shine is now officially available on Linux as of today.

Moving things around to their proper position is generally the most basic of puzzle mechanics. Codroids embraces that simplicity and offers an assortment of interesting and challenging puzzles for players to solve. I gave the game a play and have some thoughts to share.

Contraption Maker came to Linux with the Humble Indie Bundle 14 back in 2015. I was gifted a copy some time ago and finally found some time to play it.

Quern - Undying Thoughts, a first-person puzzler inspired by the likes of Myst and Riven has been released on GOG and they have a Linux build too.

Manipulated is a short puzzle-platformer that warns you about having to think. It's certainly not wrong.

Sumoman is a brand new and rather hilarious puzzle platformer powered by the UNIGINE engine. It released with day-1 Linux support and I took a look. There's also a video of my failures included.
