It’s not often that a game developer reveals the sales numbers for their games. But I noticed a Reddit post by the developer of the puzzle game Rob Riches who goes over not only the total sales of the game, but how many copies were sold per platform. A total of 266 copies were sold. 237 of those copies were bought on Windows. 27 were bought on Linux. That’s a little over 10% of total sales!

Good things just seem to keep coming to Project Heartbeat. Last month the game got an audio engine overhaul. Now we’ve got a UI skin editor, with Steam workshop integration. You can use your own textures and fonts. Even animated textures are supported. Apparently a health system has been incorporated as well. Meaning if you miss too many beats, game over. Since this is a beta, you’ll need to opt-in to the beta branch in the game’s properties menu.

As a kid, I loved the original Toy Story animated movie. Fast forward almost 30 years later, and I find myself reliving that toy-figures-come-to-life nostalgia, albeit in a more mature setting with guns. HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed is a first- and third-person shooter where you’re in control of a toy action figure. That action figure could be a Ryu look-alike, a reptile, a Storm Trooper look-alike, an insect, a standard human, and plenty of other species.

While it was already big news that HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed (first/third-person shooter with toy soldiers) got a Linux port last Thursday, what’s even better is the in-game servers are now cross-platform between the Windows and Linux clients. Previously, the Linux version did not pick up any servers that were hosted on Windows, but after getting in touch with the developers, I can now confirm the servers work between the two operating systems.

Ever play Project Diva? You’ll feel right at home with Project Heartbeat. It’s a rhythm-based game with a heavy anime theme. Big plus for those of you who are anime fans. Please note that the game is currently in early access at the time of writing this; what is said in this review may not be reflective of the changes in the final product. Some things I mention may already be things the developer has in mind for a future update.
