Roboggled is a nice casual Sokoban inspired block pushing puzzler out now | GamingOnLinux[2]

Developed on with the excellent Godot Engine, we have the Sokoban like block- pushing puzzle game Roboggled.

The gameplay in Roboggled is simple: you're a little tracked robotic vehicle in small confined levels, with a task of sending crates down a shoot. Imagine if you will that it's some sort of factory and you're part of the sorting to get everything to its destination through 60 levels of pushing objects around. It's pretty simple overall but charming enough with various environmental objects you need to work around including conveyor belts, lasers, mirrors and more.

PlayStation Portable (PSP) emulator PPSSPP version 1.11 is out now | GamingOnLinux[3]

Keeping a classic Sony console alive is the PPSSPP emulator for the original PlayStation Portable (PSP) and it continues to see development with a 1.11 release out now.

It's been a long time now since Sony really cared about the PSP from 2004, with the Vita eventually succeeding it in 2011. The PSP is no longer manufactured either, so the PPSSPP emulator keeps the spirit of it alive and allows you to play some of the classic games released on it with plenty of enhancements.

What's new in PPSSPP 1.11? Quite a lot actually. Plenty of game-specific fixes went in like AdHoc networking fixes for Dragon Ball Shin Budokai, PowerStone, Bleach Heat The Soul 7, Kingdom Hearts, GTA: VCS and many more. Cut off cards in Yu Gi Oh was fixed, Outrun and Dirt 2 saw a fix for car reflections, a new fullscreen option, partial microphone support, Test Drive Unlimited should see better performance and the list of fixed titles goes on.
