Weeks ago, Ubuntu's Alan Pope and Ubuntu's Michael Hall started a full-of-potential official initiative labeled as Ubuntu SDK Apps Collection, namely, gathering Ubuntu SDK apps into an official PPA, from where apps can be installed and run on both devices (phones, tablets) and desktops, initiative designed in mind with testing software.

It is now a clear fact that Ubuntu SDK is more than capable (work in progress) of creating interesting applications ranging from converters, players, educational utilities, to calculus tools and chat clients.

Moreover, the developers are progressively adding new features and capabilities for the SDK, allowing interested third-party developers to extend their app creation's horizon.

Ubuntu Touch has started a revolution in the Ubuntu world, both presenting the pure Ubuntu experience filtered through a touch-wise interface and centering Ubuntu SDK as a first class citizen (for app creation under Ubuntu).

As a consequence, creative third-party developers have published a significant and diverse amount of applications, imprinting numerous features into beautiful interfaces, usable on both desktop and touch-based form factors.

Complex plots, worked-on-detail characters, vivid elements, fancy introductions, are among the common attributes of today's games, where Max Payne, GTA Vice City, Crysis, etc, delight the gamer with modern gaming experiences.

Nowadays, Ubuntu gamers can hassle-free use Steam and Humble Bundles (, etc) to get and enjoy polished games; nevertheless, it seems rather interesting how certain simplistic, very basic games are still preferred by gamers, games featuring easily-graspable plots with very few characters, while rooted into removing one's monotony.

Steam and numerous Humble Bundles bring a vast and diverse amount of modern games in Ubuntu, games ranging from shooters to puzzles, RPG, etc, games containing an impressive amount of graphical details, fancy characters and complex plots.

It seems that sometimes, although we are surrounded by Max Payne, GTA Vice City, Skyrim, one may still feel the need to play very simplistic games with one-sided action and very few characters.

It is now a reality, isn't it, that Ubuntu contains interfaces for relevant form factors, including phones and tablets, in-progress work that constantly enriches and refines the touch-based interfaces.

Along with Ubuntu for phones and Ubuntu for tablets, the developers published the Ubuntu SDK, development kit presenting itself as a powerful (currently, work-in-progress) manner of creating a wide and diverse amount of software.

Presently, there are numerous games available in Ubuntu, including the globally-known and appreciated Humble Bundles and Steam, allowing gamers to enjoy hundreds and hundreds of already-available games.

Yet, it seems that Ubuntu is currently being targeted by powerful gaming-related companies, aspect that progressively enables new and new methods of publishing games for Ubuntu.

In the above-presented scenario fits Unity3d, gaming platform featuring support to publish games for Ubuntu (and other operating systems) in a matter of minutes.

Presently, Ubuntu features a rich amount of game availabilities, including the powerful Steam and constantly-enriched Humble Bundles.

Humble Bundle with Android 5 was released days ago, bringing interesting games available via Ubuntu Software Center, allowing Ubuntu gamers to enjoy games like Beat Hazard Ultra, Dynamite Jack, NightSky HD, etc.
