A community service announcement:
World of Goo has been released for Linux.
It’s a wonderfully enjoyable puzzle game which has been awarded multiple awards across for the PC, Mac and Wii versions – and it has recently become available for Linux. It’s cheap, DRM & region free, and if you buy it you’ll not only be supporting indie game developers but also the gaming linux environment.
Why not try the demo?

I first played world of goo a month ago since I heard that the windows version was running just fine under wine. Now that the linux version is out I would really want to buy (I love it!) the game so I tried the demo and unfortunately I found out that the audio of the native version is far worse than the windows version under wine (running opensuse 11.1 at the moment). Always skippy! How is that even possible?!
“[...] across for the PC, Mac and Wii versions”.
s/PC/Windows/ !
I own a PC and AFAICT there are no Windows in it!
Ik downloaded the demo, installed it and since I can’t stop talking about it. That was yesterday and now allready 4 friends play it time after time… I am gonna buy is, a friend had only 1.000 WII-points so he had to buy another 500 but after that he will have the full version too. This game rocks!
ps. openSUSE 11.1 and no skippy sound. I have a lock on PulseAudio (no install) and devs said that PuleAudio gave them much trouble (skips and lag)
so:
zypper rm pulse*
zypper al pulse*
It’s a great game! And (unlike so many others) it just works
removed pulseaudio as BartOtten suggested and now the audio is perfect! Going to buy the game! thanx
Love this game. It runs perfectly for me on Ubuntu. The is the first Linux game that I have ever paid money for and it was money well spent.
I bought this game on steam, worked great until I installed windows 7, now it wont load and just keeps flicking resolutions. But was a great game when it worked!
