Puzzle fans can't be bored with all the great games we have on Linux. Sekwere has joined the ranks and now has a Linux version available on Steam.

The developer of ChromaGun sent in a copy of the game for me to test out and while I found the idea rather cool, shooting paint around to solve puzzles it does have major issues on Linux.

Orange Moon, a 2D action platformer game with RPG elements and puzzles, full of dangerous native life forms, raiders, remnants of alien civilization and harsh environments. According to the game developer, a giveaway of 60 keys will be celebrated as part of the daily contests IndieDB started making recently.

Sadly this is one game we won't get due to the developer using Adobe Air, as it no longer supports Linux.

Metamorphic was sent in by the developer for me to check out, they claim it's inspired by games like Portal, Minecraft and Mirror’s Edge.

Timex is a Portal 2 mod in development, which will have a new single-player campaign, new testing elements and co-op puzzles.

God is a Cube: Nanomachines Rising sounds pretty fun for anyone who likes programming, puzzles and robotics. You control nanomachines to create AIs made of graphical symbols.

Croteam have continued developing their Vulkan backend for The Talos Principle and have pushed the last beta to stable and released another beta with more Vulkan work.

Human: Fall Flat is an open-ended physics player with an optional local co-op mode, available now on Steam for Linux.

Trial by Viking is a new platformer available for Linux that has over 100 levels, I checked it out and these are my thoughts.

Patterna is a very deceptive game, it looks very simplistic, but the overall package it offers is delightful.

Morgondag, the developer of RymdResa has launched a new Kickstarter for their puzzle game set on an asteroid base. That sounds pretty cool, so come take a look. I also have confirmation about an existing Linux build, awesome.

I personally think Operator Overload looks fantastic and the developer email me to let me know it's fully Linux supported and needs help on Greenlight.

I had the pleasure of testing out Transmissions Element 120, a single-player experience set in the Half-Life universe. It’s now out, and available on Linux.

I arranged an interview with Eagre to talk about ZED and their experiences with Linux and our community, including the decision to change support from a stretch goal to a base funding goal. ZED is an upcoming adventure puzzle game built with Unreal Engine 4 that’s currently on Kickstarter.

Croteam are beating The Talos Principle with a hammer to bring out another stable version and a beta, both have even more Vulkan goodies.

Star Vikings is a new casual puzzle/RPG title from the developers who gave us Chroma Squad. It actually looks pretty slick from the trailer.

KNIGHTS is one of those puzzle games with an extremely simple premise that, after some levels, starts to become a challenge

Always happy to give a shout out to games made entirely on Linux. Recursed was emailed in by the developer, as it's developed on Linux using open source tools.

Please, Don’t Touch Anything is a cryptic, brain-racking button-pushing simulation. The developers have just launched the Linux version with a nice discount.
