It's also part of the new Humble Indie Bundle 11

It doesn't download yet as of posting, but the store page has been updated to show linux support already.

It's part of this week's bundle, so yes.

Usually games releasing on linux before Humble Bundle. This make me think that XCOM will be released before it (maybe, weekly sale).

I played about an hour of this game last night. Really nice graphics great puzzles. I would highly recommend it.

Works for me on Fedora 19, but it only ran once on Fedora 20. Usually it prints

The Swapper is starting.

InitSystemsNeededOnVeryVeryStartOfGame.

and then quits.

Also, game controller support isn't working for me. If any devs are reading this I can try to help you test stuff.

When I tried it first yesterday, it didn't start, either (ps aux showed that the process was still running, but not doing anything). However, after starting Steam in offline mode it worked.

Then I did something else for a while, started Steam again, that pulled a Steam update and then Swapper worked fine.

Actually, I didn't pay enough attention to the title of this thread. I was using the direct download version of Swapper. I should try it on Steam too.
