Plays through pretty quick (although if you're the sort who likes to see if they can do the level over again but better, there's replay value). But it's one of the best small games I've played in a long while. Pity about piracy--the developers have filed for banktruptcy. So I say support 'em anyway and buy it; it's good stuff. |

Ah, my mistake. I'm a bigger fan of developers than publishers, so while I'm still a bit sad, I feel a lot better.
Buy the game anyway! |

Fun, well-made, nice graphics and easy gameplay, plays well on my old laptop, ... It's definitely worth the 16€ (or 20$) spent on it! _________________ Routinely breaking NX, GNUstep, net-ftp, miscellaneous (llvm, filezilla, rdesktop, chromium, ...) packages |

No, just a gaming section for fgo, which I don't frequent. In fact, I didn't realize until you pointed it out that that thread wasn't in OTW. _________________

I'd love to support linux gaming, but I already bought it for Wii before I knew there would be a linux port. |

Tip:
cp /opt/WorldOfGoo/properties/config.txt ~/.WorldOfGoo/config.txt

really really great game! Anybody else notice how they seemed to copy everything from the lorax but applied it to the age of the internet as opposed to the age of mechanicle reproduction and factories? |

the game demo segfaults when launched on my ~amd64 system :( I think it's audio related, since after putting "SDL_AUDIODRIVER" value="dummy" in config.txt the game starts... has anyone else experienced the same problem? I have all the emul-linux-x86 packages installed..
I'm using alsa with my laptop's hda-intel card
