I do rather enjoy the "Name your price" mechanism, to where I can get the game for free to at least get a demo, and decide that I want to pay for it later (or if I throw it aside 30 minutes later -- no monetary commitment lost).
I do wonder though, if it might be worth more to just have plain download links with a Donation button. Perhaps someone's already done a study on this. Are people more likely to pay money with the download links behind the "name your price" dialog?
On a side note: the Linux Zip file is a little bit poorly constructed. For Linux, it's usually poor form to not be wrapped up in a dedicated directory. Additionally, the binary isn't marked executable inside the Zip, making the user do it manually instead.
