Splodey fast-paced 2D platformer game brings the adventure to Windows PC, but it's also playable on Linux. Thanks to the talented team at Send It Studios. Available on Steam with 93% Very Positive reviews. Mad Mushroom and Send It Studios just released Splodey, a unique 2D platformer where you won't find a jump button anywhere.

Thanks to the email reply from Send It Studios, Linux is "something we are exploring." But at the moment you can also get away with running the title via Proton. It's worth it.
