Aquaria Humble Indie Bundle (Bit Blot)2010It's out, see the gameplay video.***[media=youtube]S7wPM-GX2Yg[/media]***[media=youtube]ZBHemKy81Ms[/media]
[Zerothis]***[[youtube:iTRJVhrvwLg]]
[Sanguine]***Originally Aquaria was not going to have Linux port, but Alec apparently flipped over and ported it in one night (only the sound engine really needed porting). The most difficult part of the porting is case sensitivity in the filesystem rather than any coding part, Mac and Windows ignore case when accessing files while Linux doesn't, making files that open quite well on Win/Mac result in file not found in Linux. They're working to convert all the files and their names in scripts/code to match, so the issues will probably go away after a bit.

[s]The Linux release may be a bit iffy still.[/s]

(The thread shown in the source link has most of the stuff related to Linux port. Just scan for posts by Alec.)

Update: Released as part of the 2010 Humble Indie Bundle after which Aquaria was also open-sourced.

Aquaria Bit Blot2007A medio caballo entre el Ecco The Dolphin y un Metroidvania, este juego destaca por su atmósfera y por el buen diseño de los niveles, que te seducen para ser explorados.

Imprescindible, de banda sonora sublime.

2007-12-07 by BitBlot (download; non-Steam version)

* 256 MB RAM
* 200 MB free HD space***A beautiful, hand-crafted 2D adventure

Lonely, restless Naija has spent her entire life wrestling with questions about her identity. We join her as she takes her first steps away from the comfort of home and into new, potentially dangerous waters. Through exploration and magical combat, Naija will unearth the history of Aquaria and connect with beings lost in the depths of time. On the search to discover the fate of her people, her destiny and that of Aquaria's will be forever altered.

A massive, underwater fantasy world to explore

Aquaria is an action-oriented, non-linear 2D side-scrolling game. Using an intuitive and fluid mouse control system, Naija can deftly swim through and explore a massive, handcrafted world that is teeming with undersea life. Along the way, she will encounter literally hundreds of different types of plants and animals and explore many ingame miles of hidden caves, lost ruins, and other strange places.

As kids, we grew up playing the brilliant 2D action and roleplaying games of the time. With Aquaria, we've aimed to capture the excitement of those games in a new way, using updated technology, controls, and visuals. This is a game with a very personal touch, from the characters and story to the creature interaction and expansive environments.

Seamless, non-linear gameplay

In order to make the experience as engaging as possible, we created an interface that lets the player easily control Naija with just a two-button mouse. The HUD is minimal (restricted to only a minimap in the lower-right corner of the screen). In place of textual dialogue that most games rely on we used voice acting to drive the story without interrupting the gameplay.

Through a realtime interface, Naija can sing songs and cast spells without going to a menu screen. With practice, these spells can be cast easily to interact with the environment, solve puzzles, or combine them for strategic effect during combat. Certain spells will allow you to change form, creating new ways of playing the game depending on the form chosen.

Dragon's Crown  Atlus;NIS America (Vanillaware)2013Has been target of some controversy due to female reviewers (specifically ones that are vocally feminist) not liking the game's depiction of genders, with consumers of those reviews getting angry at them for no good reason, when the game is clearly targeted at adolescent or similarly minded males. Women (reviewers) not liking the game is not unexpected, these same reviewers have no requirement to review them from the perspective of the games' intended audience (unless that's their reviewing gimmick, which probably rarely or never is). In the end, the controversy is mostly from people condemning some reviewers for voicing their opinion on the game just because the reviewers were not in the game's target audience and thus received the game poorly (and gave poor scores for the game as result).

Intrusion 2 vap games2012Intrusion 2 is an action platformer. Set in sci-fi environment on reserve planet occupied by hostile military corporation conducting forbidden weapon research. Intrusion 2 is inspired by classic 16bit era sidescrollers and focuses on classic fast paced action combined with modern physics and animation.***[media=youtube]BJZAzNKZBew[/media]***Has somewhat unique method for dealing with player falling into water. Player is unable to get out of there themselves, lingering just below surface and able to move left and right, but can't get get to the surface on their own. However, the waters are infested with indestructible giant piranhas which occasionally attack the player, tossing them up from the water, which usually is enough to get the player back onto "safe" land.

Serious Sam Double D Devolver Digital;Croteam (Mommy's Best Games)2011Alocado a más no poder, este festín de balas es un excelente traslado de Serious Sam a las 2D.

Su único problema es un control a veces poco manejable.

7 de 10***Serious Sam explodes into the second dimension using everything in his arsenal to battle the abominable legions of Mental’s horde. Pull the trigger to let the heavy ordinance fly in Serious Sam Double D, a hand drawn, side-scrolling shooter featuring all the over-the-top gameplay and chaotic action of the Serious Sam series. Pile on the firepower with the revolutionary Gunstacker and fire all your weapons at once in a symphony of destruction! All that stands between victory and annihilation is a man in a T-shirt and jeans wielding a great big pile of guns.

Shadow Complex Remastered Microsoft (Chair Entertainment;Epic Games)2015A pretty solid action-platformer metroidvania.

Pros:
-Map layout is interesting and scenery is absolutely gorgeus.
-Nice and simple melee combat, and animations are responsive to movement and situation.
-Achieves to be both challenging and enjoyable, putting the player in many risky situations.
-Non-unexpected bosses.

Cons:
-Controls are kind of quirky.
-Shooting beyond the 2D right-left setting is a good idea, but needs more work.
-Dialogue and voice acting could be improved a lot.

Star Control II  Accolade (Toys For Bob)1992The story mode is purely singleplayer, but the melee is playable by 1-2 human players.***I split SC2 and Ur-Quan Masters... no real reason other than [game=#162327]Ur-Quan Masters[/game] isn't the name of the original and the open source game doesn't have Star Control in its name, also UQM is ported to wider variety of systems, wasn't developed (the code, I mean, not the game content) and published by the same people, etc. etc.***Directly from the manual:

The gameplay takes place 20 years after the great war of Star Control I. This time, your mission is to explore and liberate the various alien races and planets in the different star systems and take part in action filled space battles.

Super Melee:
A bonus game in which you take part in spaceship to spaceship combat with the choice of 28 different starships. Challenge a friend or the computer.***One of my favorite games. Good news everyone! You can play StarCon2 with slightly updated graphics (from the 3DO port) and remixed music on Windows (also, MacOS X and Linux)! Toys For Bob released the source code for StarCon2 and a dedicated team is working hard porting it to modern PCs. The project is opensource, that means you can download it for FREE! Did you hear that? FREE!
