To show it off a bit, our contributor Samsai managed to capture himself getting into the top 10 in the Arcade mode, take a look at just how mad it can get: Thanks to that, it seems the Linux version was launched for all to enjoy. The developer reached out later, and a few of us here gave it a test and it didn't have a single issue. When I originally covered it back in February, the publisher sent word right after that it wasn't actually coming to Linux at launch even though the Steam store page went up with Linux listed. It mixes in a heavy synthwave soundtrack composed by Rémi Gallego, of The Algorithm, and retro sound effects by Magnus Pålsson, composer of the VVVVVV OST so there's a lot going for it.

It manages to do a lot with the simplicity, while also giving you a lot of choice. That's not all though, while the game is mechanically simple as it's basically a platform shooter with tiny arenas it's in no way easy. From the moment I got to test it, I was hooked right in thanks to the incredible styling. Hell is Other Demons is a ridiculously good retro-looking arcade shooter, one that I've pretty much fallen in love with. Not originally scheduled to release same-day with Linux support, Hell is Other Demons, developed by Cuddle Monster Games and publishing from Kongregate is out now and it's damn good.
