Powder is a fun roguelike for the gba (and other systems). Source: about 1 year ago
Going into slightly more obscure stuff, POWDER fits your criteria - original game, 16x16 default tile set with other tile sets available, Linux port available since the mid-aughts, etc. No idea if any distros had it in their repositories at the time, I only really played it on the DS.

I had nothing to do with roguelikes for many years, but one day I discovered POWDER, and it all suddenly clicked! Now roguelikes are muy favorite video game genre. No thanks to NetHack :). Source: almost 3 years ago
So June 14th will be the launch date and everything so far looks to be going right on schedule. We will be the patch notes posted to panicartstudios.com, the Hero Siege official Discord, here on Reddit and on Steam. Do not have an exact ETA for the patch notes but I am going to assume we will have them done a few days prior. Source: almost 2 years ago
