Rogue Islands is a pretty good looking fast-paced shooter with blocky graphics will come to Linux and it looks good.

I asked the developer about the status of a Linux version and they said they love Linux:

@gamingonlinux Not yet, but I do plan to make one. Big Fat Aline loves linux!

Amusing when developers spell their company name wrong, heh.

Sidenote: It's the same developer who did BEEP and I did ask them about putting the Linux version on Steam, here's the reply to that.

It has already been Greenlit, so it will appear on Steam hopefully sometime this year.

About the game

Rogue Islands is a fast-paced action shooter set in a procedural fantasy world.

Each island is a unique and complex 3d sculpture brimming with forests, mountains, temples, caves, monsters and bosses. Search for the source of the dark invasion, but don't take too long! When night falls, vicious ghosts descend from the stars to defend their Lord.

BEEP never got an official Linux version. I think it was published on Desura, but that cannot be considered official anymore.
