Members OnlyGaming on Debian GNU/Linux amd64 - pure joy. I like good soundtracks, interesting plots and gameplay, innovative ideas and all the feelings a game can let me experience.

I've been wanting a racing game for Linux for quite a while.. it's one of the major shortcomings when it comes to gaming, IMHO.
When I've seen CoreBreach arrive here on Desura I tried the demo, just a couple races and I was off to buy it. During the next hours I finished career mode two times (easy and medium difficulty). After that I moved to to hard and got the reeper by beating the boss on the last track. All weapons and the "cars" I like the best have been fully upgraded.
Well, it's a good game. I like it and will play it some more times, BUT:
- it's a little too easy in my opinion. I don't think I am better than the average, yet I never had to play a track a second time; always won at first try. Completing a clean race, on the contrary, is extremely difficult due to the really fast pace of the tracks, which are relatively narrow
- the audio player is very disturbing when it pops up on song change, that needs to be addressed for sure
- the worst part of the game is multi-player. CoreBreach only has split-screen multi-player support. No network. Gathering some friends and fire up a racing LAN-party is still not feasible on Linux. This makes me sad. The best part of a racing game is the competition with other humans, either online or in a LAN. Time attack and fastest world times do not look interesting to me: what I like best is human interaction. When it's human vs human, absolute time doesn't matter and the fun comes from fighting each other to cross the finish line first

Bought Achron a couple of days ago. Now just wrote to the Desura team about its gift key.
Let's see if they come up with an answer I can replay on Achron's page and on forums so people will know how to get the advertised extra copy.
While desura client is not starting anymore on my 64-bit Debian sid, I was playing trauma on my browser and it fully deserves every cent it costs.
Great great experience. Not only a gaming one, I'd bend it towards "consciousness entertainment".
Completed the main story, now on to the secondary objectives. Fun fact: while playing the fourth dream I completed every secondary ending prior to finding the main one.
Brief still very rewarding game.
Frozen synapse has some sound and solid gameplay!
Music is entertaining, reminds me of the electronic netlabel scene, something I deeply appreciate.
Great work Frozenbyte!!
Well spent money, once again :)
Hell, COGS is really nice, too!
Maximum graphics details, the right audio volume and pleasing soft mental tension for a guaranteed rewarding playing experience.
Enjoy! ;)
Installing nvidia-glx-ia32 and loading snd-pcm-oss lets me play zero ballistics with sound :)
Just finished Trine additional level.. I already miss this very fine game!
honestly, I think VVVVVV (analog mode on) could become my favorite *game* ...ever
VERY GOOD!
Redeemed all my humble indie bundle games and Hammerfight works perfect with desura, while it did not start when I tried the version from the direct humble indie bundle download.
This is how things should unfold,
keep up the good work!
Hooray! Just got access to desura from my gaming linux box!
been playing Trine yesterday and found it a really polished game!
simple controls, nice graphics, good sounds and interesting gameplay
..I found voices'volume to be too low, though and had to push other sounds' sliders really low
I had bought this game a while ago and never tried it so far, the humble indie bundle surprises me once more! :)
