World of Goo Linux Version is Ready!
The Linux version of World of Goo is finally ready for download! It’s available exclusively from our site, in three different packages depending on what your computer likes. (tar.gz, deb, rpm)
If you already got the game from our site, you can use your same download link to get the linux version in addition to your Windows and Mac versions. A huge thanks to Maks Verver for getting this running on linux, and the beta testers for making sure it runs smoothly! The full game and demo versions all available here.
Update: Yes, still DRM free! And works on 64 bit systems too.
Also, thanks to Ken Starks for helping to get the word out- he’s giving away 10 complimentary copies of the game to the first people he finds that have blogged about World of Goo on Linux. He also runs an interesting non-profit to build computers for kids who can’t afford them.
Update 2: We’ve been getting a lot of emails from people who purchased the game on Steam and other places who want access to the Linux version. At first we were simply sending people download links, but the volume of requests has increased significantly and we simply can’t keep up, so for now, we’re sorry, but the Linux version will only be available for free to those who purchased the game via our website.
Update 3: Happy Valentines Day! Exactly one year since we put out our first preview, special thanks to those of you who have been with us from the beginning!
Update 4: It’s only been 2 days since the release of the Linux version and it already accounts for 4.6% of the full downloads from our website. Our thanks to everyone who’s playing the game on Linux and spreading the word. Here are a couple of nifty stats:
- About 12% of Linux downloads are of the .rpm package, 30% are of the .tar.gz package, and 57% are of the .deb package.
- More copies of the game were sold via our website on the day the Linux version released than any other day. This day beat the previous record by 40%. There is a market for Linux games after all :)

Cool! Downloading now!
February 12th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
Cool ! Thank you.
Buying it now ! :)
February 12th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Awesome work, guys! I can’t thank you all enough for bringing this fantastic game to my preferred platform.
February 12th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
Great news! Will we see a version compiled for 64 bit also? I couldn’t get any of the binaries to work with the available lib32-libraries in Ubuntu for amd64.
February 12th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
Thank you. Just bought it.
February 12th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
Why oh why did I buy it from Greenhouse. Oh well. Hopefully they’ll get it as well, like with the Mac version.
Thanks, 2dboy, you [insert rather homoerotic description of 2dboy as a whole, involving eyes, squid, and possibly a cup of love-in-a-canoe coffee]!
February 12th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Awesome work! I can finally play like I want!
February 12th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
Panno, if you’re having trouble with it on a 64-bit system, it’s probably best to post a question in the forums asking for help. FWIW, I had no trouble getting the tarball version running on my 64-bit Ubuntu 8.10 box.
February 12th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Awesome. This beta will always have a special place in my heart. As will the $20 I’m about to spend. More worthwhile than oxygen.
February 12th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Woo, fantastic! The demo worked perfectly in Wine, but I figured I’d wait until I had it native to purchase, which I just did. And what great luck, I was already taking a vacation day tomorrow!
February 12th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
This is too cool!
I will forward this to all the Linux users I know…
February 12th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
What about us steam gamers? Some of us have linux, too.
February 12th, 2009 at 11:56 pm
Thank you 2D Boy! I’ve been waiting for this release. No more wine for playing World of Goo. We love you 2D Boy!
February 13th, 2009 at 12:11 am
I would prefer buying from one greenhouse… so a) will greenhouse also get this version and b) is there a downside from buying there?
February 13th, 2009 at 3:02 am
GREAT!
Bought it again!
February 13th, 2009 at 3:03 am
Thanks, really made my day :D
February 13th, 2009 at 3:49 am
While I’ve helped a bit with testing on beta, it’s still nice to see it in final for all to enjoy. Awesome game still and I’ve now got it for OSX, Windows, Linux and even on the Wii too!
February 13th, 2009 at 3:54 am
2D Boy: Would you marry me?
February 13th, 2009 at 4:09 am
Downloaded the demo. Loved it!
Bought the game and now the wife loves it too.
Great game + Linux = Instant buy
Keep up the good work guys
February 13th, 2009 at 4:19 am
Is there any way to get the Linux version if the game was bought from Amazon.de? I mean without buying it again from here.
February 13th, 2009 at 4:24 am
Thanks for all the effort you’ve put into this, guys! Can’t wait to return home and start playing it natively! :)
February 13th, 2009 at 4:49 am
Thank you!
I was hesitating between the WiiWare version and the Linux one, but I decided to buy the Linux one instead (cause I can re-install it if I buy a new computer, for instance…).
I’ll get it tonight :)
February 13th, 2009 at 4:51 am
A way for non-2dboy.com-mac/windows-downloaders to get a free copy of the linux version would be really appreciated. For buyers of the retail version at least one could make a page where they enter the serial number as confirmation and get a download ticket.
February 13th, 2009 at 4:54 am
(addition to former post. can be merged if possible)
Got a question about buying it here too: Will I get a dvd with all versions or just one or mac/windows on a disc and linux version to download?
February 13th, 2009 at 4:55 am
World of Goo for Linux Version is Ready!…
The Linux version of World of Goo is finally ready for download! It’s available on World of Goo website….
February 13th, 2009 at 5:22 am
Hi,
I’m happy to learn that, be sure i will buy this game when i’ll be at home.
Great commercial game that support Linux lacks, continue like this :)
Good job.
February 13th, 2009 at 5:25 am
Where’s my bloody profanity pack? :)
February 13th, 2009 at 5:42 am
I dont get it.
I prebooked it before and I got a magic key.
But I cant find a download link?
Am I supposed to download the demo and then activate it or how am I supposed to download it?
February 13th, 2009 at 6:17 am
Great! Thank you very much!
(Buying Linux version now :D )
February 13th, 2009 at 7:23 am
[...] Good on you, 2d Boy. I love this game. [...]
February 13th, 2009 at 7:44 am
Aaron: when you bought the game, you received a link to your personal download page in an e-mail message. You can download the Linux version there.
If you’ve lost the link, you can have it send again; just have a look at the FAQ to see how.
February 13th, 2009 at 7:48 am
This is so awesome! I’m gonna buy the game right now :)
February 13th, 2009 at 7:50 am
64 bit version please.
February 13th, 2009 at 8:04 am
Thanks! Going to buy it when I get home later today. :)
February 13th, 2009 at 8:52 am
Extra cool, thanks dudes and dudess :)
February 13th, 2009 at 8:57 am
So, when will the ARM version for Pandora, Android etc. be ready? :D
February 13th, 2009 at 9:32 am
Thanks, thanks, thanks a lot…
A wonderful games for linux, so i buy it !
February 13th, 2009 at 9:45 am
Thanks a lot !
I’ve already bought it now, I can enjoy it from my linux PC ;)
February 13th, 2009 at 10:11 am
I participated in the beta test a little – not as much as I would have liked. I’m definitely buying it!
February 13th, 2009 at 10:12 am
Very, very nice! Just played my first few levels, and it worked perfectly.
February 13th, 2009 at 10:26 am

February 13th, 2009 at 11:22 am
Thanks!! It works fine with Ubuntu!
February 13th, 2009 at 11:33 am
I love you, 2D Boy!
February 13th, 2009 at 11:38 am
Working great on AMD64 Ubuntu
February 13th, 2009 at 11:47 am
Thanks! :D
February 13th, 2009 at 11:50 am
Thanks a lot !
I said I’d bought a copy when you release linux version and I made it immediately !
What’s an impressive game ! I like it a lot !
February 13th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Just picked it up. Thanks for support Linux, and avoiding DRM.
February 13th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
Thanks pneuman, 64bit problem solved.. it works fine now.
February 13th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Thank u a lot.. i have waited so long.. awesome!
but must disable compiz on ubuntu 8.04 when running WoG…
February 13th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
I downloaded the binary (deb) and installed it on my AMD64 Ubuntu Linux. I got an error because of architecture mismatch – the binary is not for 64 bit CPUs. However, it worked after I forced the install (not always a good thing). The game is addicting. I love the graphics, the sound, and the way the game progresses. Thank you so much for making a great game available on Linux for such a lovely price. Keep up the good work.
February 13th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Demo-.rpm works perfectly on openSUSE and makes me meditate about buying software for the very first time in my life… :)
Thank you.
February 13th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Thanks for the Linux version. I held off from buying it until it was available for Linux and just bought it since I saw the announcement. Thank you for your work porting it to Linux. Hopefully this will help convince you to make more cross platform games for everyone to enjoy.
February 13th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Oh boy oh boy, I love you guys. This is the very reason why I pre-ordered so long ago. Big thank you!
February 13th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Wahoo!
I’ve been playing with the beta and just picked up the Linux version. So now I have two World of Goo (Wii and Linux).
PS. The FAQ on Linux Version needs an update :).

Just posted it on Happypenguin.org (Linux Game Tome).
Thanks for making a Linux version available.
February 14th, 2009 at 12:17 am
I bought the game just now – some months ago I told myself I’d wait for the Linux version to be released and buy it then, and now this came true. Awesome!
February 14th, 2009 at 12:35 am
awesome!
February 14th, 2009 at 1:22 am
Simply amazing! First you release without DRM or Copy Protection, then you release the soundtrack and *then* you release a native linux port! 2D BOY is definitely one of my favorite game companies now!
February 14th, 2009 at 1:42 am

February 14th, 2009 at 1:43 am
Hey, I got the linux version, and playing with two mice is really nice (it just requires a lot of concentration and some training).
Anyway I really love this ability :)
February 14th, 2009 at 2:29 am
Thank you! I’ll pass on a link to this page to Linux-using friends, and will buy a copy if I like it.
February 14th, 2009 at 2:43 am
Very nice game! Thank you very much for the Linux port!
February 14th, 2009 at 2:45 am
I just got goosebumps…damn, getting to sleep is going to be impossible now. You guys do realize that your going to go down in history right?! And as legends at that…I’m telling every linux user I know to go and buy this asap. Suweet!
February 14th, 2009 at 2:47 am
Awesome! just purchased my copy now :-)
February 14th, 2009 at 3:07 am
Many many many thanks! Just bought it. Thanks for doing all this – I mean, the DRM-free version, soundtrack, and native version for Linux! You really rock guys, thanks!
February 14th, 2009 at 3:14 am
I’m a purchase customer linux world of goo gamer now!
But .. 2D Boys … what about some extra candy for purchase customers as:
* World of Goo purchase customer sticker / blog widget / anything else
* Downloadable ISO with every O.S. version + soundtrack + DVD cover art
* Register users DB
Anyway thanks for this gorgeous game and, specially, linux native port. You have earned the 20USD.
February 14th, 2009 at 4:00 am
This is awesome! Thank you very much for this game release on Linux. It is a really cool game and that it is now available for Linux made my day :)
February 14th, 2009 at 4:16 am
Thank you guys!
I hope the Linux sales will not be insignificant. I have purchased the game before the Linux release so maybe there’s more of us ‘hidden’ Linux users. Keep that in mind when you’ll be looking at the stats ;).
February 14th, 2009 at 4:33 am
Works fine on Thinkpad x61t & openSUSE 11.1, albeit a little glitch with dualhead. This is unfortunately the state of the intel driver & xorg more than a fault of WOG.
One thing I wish worked was xinput support. I would love to use my stylus on screen rather than a mouse. Would be so much more natural way to control. Didn’t work on my mac with a secondary head (cintiq) either though :)
February 14th, 2009 at 5:03 am
Great! Thank you.
February 14th, 2009 at 5:07 am
I already played through the game a few times during the beta but now I bought it. Easy decision, really: it’s a great game, native port, no DRM. I love the fact that you guys actually care for the users. You rock!
February 14th, 2009 at 5:09 am
Thank you, 2d boy!
Before I had only played it illegally, but now I have bought it! You rock!
February 14th, 2009 at 5:10 am
I bought this game for Linux and it works very good. I usually dont play puzzle games but i really like WOG. A very addictive and fun game thats well worth the money.
As a side note, i would really love it if someone could start an online shop for linux games and apps. Not for traditional shipping but for direct download like WOG. I dont mind paying for Linux apps but they are darn hard to find online and when i buy something i want it right away.
February 14th, 2009 at 5:11 am
Awesome!
That’s the one thing I was missing – now everything is perfect!
February 14th, 2009 at 5:37 am
awesome!

February 14th, 2009 at 6:14 am
The Linux demo, installed from .deb, didn’t work on my EEE PC.
February 14th, 2009 at 6:18 am
I pre-ordered the game on the basis of the future availability of a Linux version – and, of course, the fact that it rocks – and it’s great to see that it’s finally available.
As a previous poster mentioned, to install the deb on an AMD64 Debian-based distribution, you’ll need to do something like:
dpkg –force-architecture WorldOfGooSetup.1.40.deb
It’s rarely a good idea to use –force-architecture, but the game does seem to work without problems. You might want to use the tarball instead, but I prefer to have as much as possible installed under package management.
I’d previously been running the game under Wine (how successfully varied with each Wine update). I was pleased to find that copying my profile (pers2.dat) from the Windows installation to ~/.WorldOfGoo/ seems to have worked fine.
Now I just need to find a way to run the game in windowed mode as I could under Wine…
February 14th, 2009 at 7:06 am
Yay! I can play this on my PC now as opposed to my Wii :-D
Can’t transfer my save game but I knew that was going to happen ;-)
Plus I think I can do much better second time round, OCD here I come!
February 14th, 2009 at 7:28 am
Thank you.
February 14th, 2009 at 7:34 am
Классная игра! Спасибо огромное!
February 14th, 2009 at 7:59 am
Thanks! I’m downloading now.
February 14th, 2009 at 8:21 am
Great! Finally a good game that gets ported to Linux! I will be buying this game soon, so I can game on the train with my Ubuntu laptop :) THANKS!
February 14th, 2009 at 8:24 am
I’ve bought the game specifically because:
a. No DRM
b. Linux support
c. Indie developer
In the order of importance.
Keep up the good work!

Pre-ordered over a year ago here because of the promise :]

February 14th, 2009 at 10:38 am
Awesome i’ve been getting all my windows friends playing this and its been giving them something to rub in my face that linux lacks now i shall have my victory :)
February 14th, 2009 at 10:52 am
I was wondering if the Linux beta would just go on endlessly, leaving us without a product in the end. Now I saw the release announcement on Happypenguin and immediately bought the game.
Thanks, 2D Boy! :) Native Linux games are the way to go!
February 14th, 2009 at 11:10 am
Sending my 20.00 bucks ASAP, native Linux games is what I crave and such great quality at a great price yous sure have my support.
Keep those Linux games coming.

Thank you so much for making a great game and for thinking about us, Linux users. My $20 (or €15) are already on your pocket, and here’s a little suggestion (I’m not sure if you guys make updates, but seeing the 1.40 version on the filename, I suppose you do):
Add a button at the end of each level so we can take a screenshot of our wacky constructions.

Fantastic job guys, just keep up the great work. The demo for Linux is really a terrific job and the fact that only 2 persons made it makes the game even more buyable.
Continue developing games for Linux and I’m sure you’ll be rewarded highly in our community both with popularity and profit.
February 14th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
This is awesome! I would buy it in a heartbeat, but I already bought the Wii version.
Regardless, a great initiative for a great game :)
February 14th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
2D Boy, you guys are a perfect example of the type of Freedom and Business Citizenship that embodies Linux. Way to go!
I just wrote a letter to Mark Shuttleworth to try to get some recognition for 2D Boy on this.
I’m also going to post the idea of bundling this game on all new Ubuntu Linux preloaded machines that come from Dell.
For $20 a copy, this game is a perfect inclusion to any Operating system.
Nice Job 2D Boy.

Själv köpte jag spelet då jag tycker utvecklarna är värda varje krona det kostade! The Linux version of World of Goo is finally ready for download!

Goo goo goo balls !
I just bought it, thanx a lot for the native linux support, I really appreciate it.
And this is the proof that other game editor could do the same for other game… A really good example to follow !
Thank you again and I hope there will be a new WOG 2 !

Thanks dudes.
February 14th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Just one little problem with the Linux version.
While I was playing the game all of a sudden the screen went black, I could still hear the sound so I did ctrl+alt+f1 then back to ctrl+alt+f7 to go back to the X server, the screen was still black. I did ctrl+alt+f1 again and logged into the terminal, did ‘ps aux’ and the gnome-screensaver had started and was . I tried to kill it but it was still there so I did kill -9 but still no change, I had to kill world of goo then I could kill the defunct process. I went back to the X server but the screen was still black so I restarted it but no change, so I restarted the computer and all was back to normal.
I just have the common black screen screen saver set to enable if the computer had been idle for 10 minutes, but the computer wasn’t idle so it seems something within the programming of the game is causing the screen saver to think the computer is idle. This happened twice so I just ended up turning off the screen saver when I wanted to play a bit.

perhaps a full GPL release next time, Just to see how deep the rabbit hole goes?

February 14th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Wow, this game is really amazing. I’m so glad that you decided to release a Linux version! Keep up the good work!
February 14th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Thanks for your support, really Thank You so much!
February 14th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
This is the first Linux game I have ever bought, for pretty obvious reasons I think… And the first PC game I have bought for many many years, moving to Linux almost ended my gaming hobby, although buying a Wii later helped a bit. However thank you for this Linux release and I for one will spread the word.
February 14th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
I’ve suggested that “World of Goo” be bundled with Ubuntu Linux on Dell machines via the ideastorm.com website. If you like this idea, vote it up at:

You know, I usually pirate these things, but your stances on DRM and Linux support have touched my cold frozen heart.
Stay classy 2dboy.

Amazing! I’m running it on my Asus EEE PC 900 and it’s just perfect. I just loved the game.

Thanks guys! This is a truly lovely game, and I for one am very happy that you’ve used so much Open-Sauce to juice up this gooey adventure!!
VIVA L’GOO!!
February 15th, 2009 at 5:14 am
Why not use a secure torrent? One that has the tracker locked down so that non-authorized people cannot use the torrent? This way you solve your distribution problems!

A big thanks from a GNU/Linux user :)
February 15th, 2009 at 6:55 am
I had been holding out for the Linux version, and finally bought it. Thanks for putting it out, you guys rock!
And as someone already mentioned it would be interesting to see the numbers for the Linux release in a couple of months time.
February 15th, 2009 at 6:55 am
Woohooo, I’ve been waiting so long for this. Finally you will get 20 Bucks from me for making this awesomeness possible. :)
February 15th, 2009 at 7:56 am
Thank you. I’m really enjoying this game. Your enlightened stance on DRM and Linux compatibility are appreciated and I hope you reap the benefits of such sense. I for one would not have bought this game (or any other) if it had contained DRM or was not Linux compatible.
Excellent work!

February 15th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Unfortunately, the *.deb demo 1) had no sound and 2) hung up on exiting on my Ubuntu 8.04.2 (i386). Disappointed, as the game itself was quite fun.
February 15th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Bought the game and its awesome. Thanks from a Linux User.
February 15th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
I bought the game yesterday and it runs awesome on Linux. Thank you for making a native Linux build!
February 15th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
I can’t believe you’ve done this. Unbelievably, World of Goo works on my Linux EeePC 900 (a machine not known for any real power) which now pretty much means I have to buy a copy (today’s games just don’t cater to the computer hardware I have and are often quite complex to boot).
The thing that worries me is why would you do a Linux port (apart from out some sense altruism)? Why would you risk it when all the evidence points to Linux sales never matching the cost of the port (combined with the difficulty of awkward drivers and lack of standardisation)? I bet you’re going to have to put up with nasty complaints from edge Linux users too… it’s not fair! There’s an even longer “rant” on http://blog.wolfire.com/2008/12/why-you-should-support-mac-os-x-and-linux/#comment-5007430 …
I fear that this is going to lead to another one of those pie charts where (for non consoles) 60% of sales are Windows 39% are OS X and a measly 1% are Linux. That not going to stop me buying World of Goo but I’m bracing myself for the (Linux port) bad news in 6 months time.
February 15th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Thank you!

February 15th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Just bought the game only because it has a native Linux version. At it works FLAWLESSLY on Fedora 10, without any additional dependencies! Double-click on RPM and it goes:)
My Linux is full of goo now.
February 15th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
Did you try discussing a method with valve to maybe automate a process to help those that purchased through steam?
I bought through steam to support you guys, would be a shame if I now can’t play on Linux because of technicalities :(
February 15th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Kick ass game! I expected hours of recompilation and googling before it would run on linux, but no, it worked straight out of the, … , tar.gz.$20 is also an amount I hope no one will consider piracy over. You guys deserve the cash on this one.
February 15th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
Thanks for this cool game and the linux port !
Works great on my x64 Kde4.2 Gentoo box but i have had to play in windowed mode due to my dual screen. In full screen, it’s weird, the display start in the middle of the first screen… (maybe something related to plasma)
The game is very addictive, I’ve bought it and finished it the same day. Too bad that it is a bit too easy :(
February 15th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
I played the Linux version demo. Runs AMAZING and is so much fun. If I wasn’t broke and didn’t just get custody of my two year old niece, I would definitely buy this. I highly recommend this for anyone. I am so excited to see a good game made on all three major platforms.

It’s kind of sad that other publishers (LGP) now use DRM. It’s really a shame. I’m not a hardcore “release the source or I won’t buy” person, but DRM is a bit too much. I could cry seeing Shadowgrounds is now set to be published by LGP with DRM :’(

I think Ken Starks deserves a plug here. Yeah, he’s my friend and I am a sometimes volunteer for his HeliOS Project but still. Ken’s popular blog, bumped by Gedace’s initial report made all this happen. Once Blog of helios popped the story, it went viral via slashdot and Christian Einfeldt’s report in 3 hours.
Just goes to show what one man can do. Ken would have never said it himself so I will say it. Thanks Ken for all you do for the Community. This game absolutely rocks. 2DBoys rock as well.

February 17th, 2009 at 12:46 am
Heya! I already bought WoG on WiiWare, and just bought it again for Linux.
The real added value is the ability to play on my daily commute now (1h train each way). The TV set and Wii were *much* less practical to carry about ;)

tanks for this amazing and ultra funny game
February 17th, 2009 at 9:10 am
Very nice to have a native WOG… but… the Windows original under Wine runs a lot better on my (admittedly prehistoric) machine (dual PIII 500MHz, NVIDIA 5700 graphics). In Wine, a few of the levels are unplayable due to lag*, but with the native version it gets ridiculous (WOG Corporation with 300 free balls -> ~1 FPS).
I guess I’ll have to stick to the Wii version until I scrape together enough dough for a new computer :-)
(*) That &$%&@$&$% one with the tilting platform in particular. Arrrgh.
February 17th, 2009 at 10:40 am
Thank you for not forgetting the Linux users!
February 17th, 2009 at 10:59 am
I pirated the game when it was first released but promised I would buy the game when it was released on linux (My main desktop OS).
Since then I have purchased the Linux version AND the Wii version, I just love this game that much.
Looking forward to your next game release .. any idea on whats next?
February 17th, 2009 at 11:59 am

Splendid!
PS. A “native” 64 bits version would be even better!

Thanks for the great game and the even better linux support!
I also love the lack of DRM; not treating customers like criminals is a big plus.
February 17th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
I would be hideously remiss if I didn’t thank you for releasing a Linux version. I admit to not paying a lot of attention to the game when it was released on WiiWare, but the Linux demo (released as a .deb, no less!) got me to give it a look, which led to the full purchase.
Great stuff. Thank you for supporting my platform of choice.
February 18th, 2009 at 12:32 am
Works great! Very nice work on the Linux version.
I completed the game on Windows in the meantime, but I guess the OCD’s will be a challenge for my linux machine.

not many developers support linux and i’m glad that those that take the risk are commended for doing so, the day that 2dboy announce their next game is the day i preorder it
February 18th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
Glad that you can find that there is a market for games on Linux. I downloaded the demo and played it all the way through and found that I must have the full version! I was not disappointed. Thanks for using open source libraries and supporting the platform I use. One of the best $20.00 I have ever spent. Keep it up!
February 18th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
Will the Linux version eventually be included in the “boxed” edition that can be purchased? I’m thinking about gifts here, and download links aren’t very wrappable.

Excellent! With ia32-libs, it works perfect for the 64bit architecture.

Thanks so much for making WoG available for Linux! I just bought it now, wish I had been able to do it on the day of release and contribute to those download numbers. I hope you’ll consider making any future games cross-platform from the start, if possible.
I’ll be recommending the game to everyone I think will listen :)
February 19th, 2009 at 12:08 am
Thanks for supporting Linux. You’re one of the few game developers that too. Undoubtedly it’s one of the reasons you’re getting so many sales. It looks like a cool game, I might buy it :).
February 19th, 2009 at 12:25 am
Works beautifully on x86-64 gentoo, KDE 3.5, one screen, using packages. I was going to stop at the demo, but hey, 20 bucks is cheap to support Linux gaming. Good work!

I bought this when it first came out (since they said they would do Linux version). Great game at a perfect price! And you can move this ‘windows’ buyer over to your linux column now btw :)
February 19th, 2009 at 9:21 am
Just bought (only using the Linux version). Thanks!

Une version Linux et en français en plus.

Add one more to the pool of thanks for the Linux version! Also, thank you for the update about x86_64 compatibility. I wasn’t aware of those libraries before, but World of Goo is now working quite nicely on the AMD64 version of Kubuntu 8.10. :)
Additional thanks to some Planet KDE bloggers, which is how I found out about this.
February 20th, 2009 at 12:54 am
I bought the game only because it has a linux version and it was worth the money :-)
very funny game..

Thanks for the updated stats – interesting reading. Is it possible to buy a box set direct from 2D Boy (presumably for other platforms) but then download the Linux version (assuming the box set doesn’t come with the Linux version inside it already) without extra cost? I’m happy to pay a little more for some sort of box + Linux support…

Thanks SO much for releasing on Linux! WOG is a sparkling oasis of cross-platform, drm-free goodness in an otherwise barren desert of… uh… sand.

Thanks – I really only buy pc games designed for linux, or occasionally ones that work really good in wine. Works pretty well on an older vaio (1.6ghz, 512mb, intel 850 graphics, ubuntu 8.10)
February 21st, 2009 at 4:02 am
Thank you so much guys for making this great game available for Linux !
That was the reason i bought the game (beside the fact that this game is addicting ;-) ) ..
You just got my 20$ ..

No support for transferring saved games linux->windows windows->linux? Would be nice if saved games could be uploaded to a 2d boy server.
February 21st, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Got another customer here, come pay day.
February 21st, 2009 at 3:41 pm
This runs so nicely on my laptop (64bit Ubuntu, Hardy), no trouble at all. It’s a thoughtful and coherent game that I’ve really enjoyed playing (almost done the first time through, will need to go back and redo for OCD purposes). Good job! Keep me posted when your next game comes out. :)
February 21st, 2009 at 4:15 pm
@ciasboark: The save game files are the same. I bought the game before the Linux port came out, unable to wait any longer, so I played most of the game under WINE(windows API for linux). I was able to take the save game from there and copy it to the location it was supposed to be in Linux, and it worked fine. I’m pretty sure it works the other way too. Uploading the save to a server would be nice too, but isn’t needed if all you are want is win->lin or lin->win.
February 21st, 2009 at 5:34 pm
AMAZING !!! Thanks a lot 2D !!!
February 21st, 2009 at 6:57 pm
A review of the game, and (maybe) the level editor will be published in our monthly appearing, free CC licenced Linux magazine Yalm. Release date is the 15. of march
We hope, we can support you and other developers for porting awesome games to Linux. Cheers

Hello,
Three things:
1) please, md5sum of the downloads.
2) for Linux, please, offer a 64bit version (I know the 32bit version works, but this’ XXI century and we have 64bit processors and OSes now…)
3) I have just bought the game. Will you email me with updates (bug fixes, 64bit availability, etc)?
Regards,
Norberto
February 22nd, 2009 at 8:51 am
I just bought it, and download the *.deb version for my (ubuntu 64 bits) computer, and I adore it! Thank you so much to make a game of quality for linux users! and thanks for the french version too !!! Do you plan a Chinese translation (for my wife)?? ;)
February 22nd, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Astoundingly brilliant, purchased at once. I’ll have to severely constrain my gameplay (dragging is a worst-case for my RSI), but I don’t care. It’s so sweet that a little pain is worth it.
February 22nd, 2009 at 9:51 pm
I gave the linux demo of this a try and holy crap this game is a blast. I immediately bought the full version once I finished the first chapter. A popular addicting game released on linux with no DRM for just $20? How could I not support that? You guys are awesome and anyone who pirates this game needs a swift kick in the groin. You heard me. There is no reason for pirating this game besides being a cheapskate. If you really do want to put and end to DRM then buy this game and prove them wrong.
February 22nd, 2009 at 11:34 pm
More stats would be really interesting. I think you can open the door to other small sized developers to Linux.
I became fan of 2dBoy, if any new development is on the way, please make it work on Linux also, here you have a costumer.

I am going to add this to my wish list for my birthday. finally Linux has a good native game!
This so GOOd!
Congrats you guys made history!
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:56 am
I love you, 2D Boy! –> bought it
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:53 am
I tried the Linux version and, to my suprise, it works marvelous!
Think I’ll buy this one. ^_^
It’s nice that you can make a game, that people will buy and be well-known, in a small studio like yours in this day and age.
February 23rd, 2009 at 8:52 am
Thanks a lot for making this great game available for Linux! This are $20 well spend.
February 23rd, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Common guys, do an update to the steam version and add the binaries for Linux to it! Just static link them and we’ll be fine. I simply don’t want to get it the bad way. I loved World of Goo and I definitely looking foward your next title :D
February 23rd, 2009 at 3:58 pm
I would buy it if it run native in 64 bits machines without the need of compability layers..
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:05 pm
Cool, the demo works perfect on my Arch64. Most native games, especially closed source ones, can be annoying to set up. This one however, I just downloaded, extracted, and ran the binary. If I like the demo I’ll greatly consider buying it, as I love supporting companies that support Linux. Just now found out about this game, so I don’t know how much I’ll like it, but I’ve heard amazing things about it, so I probably will like it :) Thanks for supporting Linux :D
February 23rd, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Nice way to spend some money! Just brought it. Cheers!

February 24th, 2009 at 8:37 am
Bought this game today and it works great on my Debian 5.0. Hopefully we see additional level packs soon :)
February 24th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Fantastic physics game with lot of fun stylish atmosphere! Was happy to see a Linux version and after playing through the demo on my 64 Bit Ubunut, I just bought the full version and continued just a few minutes later with the next levels. Thanks you so much for supporting Linux! You guys are heros! :-D
February 24th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
by the way: I would like to see some more Linux full version statistics like, how many copies were sold? WHat’s the percentage share of Linux copies compared to Windows and Macs?
February 24th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
Just bought the game. Works great on my sidux/debian-unstable and kde4. Thanks so much for this great piece of work and especially the linux version. Now I only miss the level editor ;)
I will play with multimouse-”support” and using my wiimote with it soon too :)
February 24th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
Few games warrant being purchased multiple times. I bought first for the wii, and now for pc. Just wanted to say thanks for making such a great game multiplatform. Runs very well on Arch 64-bit.
Then you guys went the extra mile and released it DRM free. It’s rare these days for a software company to show that amount of respect to their customers. So thanks again for releasing a game that’s free of that annoyance.
It’s funny really: A game from a tiny dev team that understands the concept of fun, dripping with creativity, and DRM free. You guys are the anti-EA :D
@dentaku: February 24th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
I’d imagine the stats are going to be a bit tricky in terms of finding how many were sold for which platform since you get access to all platforms in the download link. Probably the most helpful would be how many times each platform installer was downloaded from the secret location.
February 26th, 2009 at 12:52 am
I also bought the game!! It’s so addicting! I hope 2dboys future games will also be published for linux!!
I’m running Ubuntu!
February 26th, 2009 at 3:48 am
Tanks a lot!
February 26th, 2009 at 6:45 am
I’ve just purchased the game and I’m waiting for the .deb and .exe packages to download. I just wanted to thank you for porting this game to Linux. As a platform, Linux is rapidly evolving and growing at a steady pace. Still, commercial game support is one of the major sticking points holding Linux back from widespread desktop adoption. I believe that if more studios followed your lead by supporting this alternative OS, it would enjoy even more rapid growth.
Also, thanks to all my fellow Linux users who have supported these guys by purchasing the game.

Merci les gars!
I’m really glad you ported this for GNU/Linux, it’s working perfectly. I’m a programmer and I was wondering what tools and librairies you used to port the game. There are always issues concerning performances, licences, etc, tell us about it.
Jonathan Blown had problems with that and seemed to have given up (http://braid-game.com/news/?p=364 and following comments. It ends as war between pro win32 and pro GNU/linux people though…)

I tried to purchase the game, but unfortunately you use PayPal for payments. My card has been rejected. Visa Electron + Poland = PayPal Discrimination. Last time I checked, they said it was because many scams come from Poland, eastern Europe etc using Electron cards. This means I’d have to upgrade my credit card to buy World of Goo. I don’t feel like going through the formalities. I may buy it one day, but it will have to wait.
PayPal is the only payment system thatkeeps rejecting my card.
February 28th, 2009 at 6:54 am
After 5 minutes of playing the demo, I ordered the game instantly :) It simply rocks!
February 28th, 2009 at 9:08 am
I have to admit that I pirated World of Goo after a buddy recommended I play it but since I wasn’t going to spend money on a Windows executable to run with WINE I “just got it”. Then you guys released the Linux version and there was no question in my mind that I should pay for this game once it ran natively. I hate spending money on Windows games not knowing if they’ll break or not run at all. There is a Linux game market, thanks for proving it once again :P
March 1st, 2009 at 4:21 am
I saw the game at a friend’s on Wii, and when I got home bought the Linux version for myself, and I just plugged you guys on my LJ. I’m really impressed with the job you did on the Linux version! Rock on!
March 1st, 2009 at 9:56 am
Hi!
I tried the game pirated about 2 month ago, but when I found the linux version I bought it immediately!
The game is awesome, the freedom of choice (windows, mac, linux,wii) is great and the drm free is the icing on the cake!
Thank you 2D BOY!!
March 1st, 2009 at 10:13 am
Thank you for the native Linux version! the .DEB worked flawlessly on my Ubuntu system.
March 1st, 2009 at 5:14 pm
And i must say huge thank you, on this huge comments list:). Because i can’t use paypal, my friend
from USA bought it for us and sent to me. That 2 copies cost me 30 €, but goo cares;).

Would appreciate a proper 64 bit build though.
Thanks!
March 7th, 2009 at 10:44 am
Thanks 2dBoy, I really want to buy this.
But I guess you guys haven’t noticed (yet) that Pay pal is really not a pal.
Why can Steam’s download be updated to include the GNU/Linux versions?
March 8th, 2009 at 2:55 am
Paypal is a problem for you but you consider using Steam? Wow….
March 8th, 2009 at 6:22 am
Thanks for the Linux port of Goo. I already licensed it though I couldn’t test it yet since I’m redoing my X org system and had severe compilation(it’s a Gentoo system)/runtime issues with my X. Stupid xorg-server 1.5. But since it is platform independent I could probably also try it on W32.
I’m excited to see World of Goo when my X is again up and running.
@ above Nyc Westport
Me too wonders what should be better in using Steam than Paypal. I mean PP istn’t perfect (it was better before ebay bought it) but Steam… is something I’d rather aviod. Anyway, whatever.
March 8th, 2009 at 6:25 am
PS:
I love World of Goo being free of Digital RESTRICTION management. It’s the most sucking things in today’s games. Defective by design. Not that a lot of games are created without love today, no, far worse is the DRM that keeps especially the paying customer from playing. I so oftern hear from friends that some games they just bought won’t run due to copy protection issues.
It is a wise decision to keep it DRM free and have it just working. Thanks again!
March 9th, 2009 at 8:37 am
Argh… I’ve played about 1/3 of the demo (on Linux) and liked it a lot (don’t have much time for games though so I left it at that). When I saw it for $5 on Steam, well, that’s a no brainer! But the Linux version isn’t available through Steam!?
I’m steamed!
JB
March 9th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
Fantastic game, but please sort out the steam situation.
As others have mentioned, use steam to push out a unique link for each paid-up subscriber, so they can get their hands on the native version.
Keep up the good work.

April 6th, 2009 at 1:20 am
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! If more games like this were available on Linux, many many more people would use Linux over other OSes. I have bought myself a copy of the game as I think it’s awesome! My vision has gone funny already!
April 14th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
@Nyc Westport
I’d never buy anything on steam even if it was available on *nix. Simply because of one reason; You’re locked to the program.
What if they completely discard the steam product? Then you can say goodbye to all the games you’ve purchased (worst case scenario).
No thanks.. I’d rather pay Paypal a small sum than getting locked to a program to be able to play the games. ;-)
And, thanks to the 2dboy team for a truly beautiful game.
April 24th, 2009 at 10:42 am
bogus! I got the boxed edition (as a gift) and wanted to use it on my eeepc, the demo runs awesome on it. Disappointed that it didn’t have the linux version included, I sent an email, but no response yet in the last few days, I can see how it is now.
I have to debate if it’s really worth another 20$ for the linux version…probably not.
April 26th, 2009 at 10:01 am
I’ve just bought it because it’s not only amazing, but also because it’s DRM free and available for Linux!

Many thanks for this great game. I purchased it after waiting for quite some time till it get released on playgreenhouse.com, but after reading that it won’t ever be released there, I bought it directly through your website.

I purchased World of Goo for $3.74 on clearence at Target a couple days ago (I’m cheap, I wanted to play it, and didn’t want to pirate it), and am looking into (finally) migrating to Linux. According to your site, I won’t be able to play it on Linux unless I purchase it again (which is impossible due to me not having a credit/debit card). I loved the game, but I don’t exactly love that.
