Oh wow!  I was looking up Ryan Gordon in conjunction with the UT3 port he's doing and came across this!!! Awesome! 

As I said in the beginning (once their was a Linux port) two copies sold here (at least).  My daughter and myself have been chomping at the bit for this :) (And she just said "Awesome!!" too when I told her).

Thank you Alec!

I'd buy Aquaria for Linux too. You know, just because Linux is free, doesn't mean people use it so they don't have to pay for software. I use it because it has the best tools for my job. I really do think people are willing to buy software and that's why World of Goo was a huge success in that regard.

Keep up the good work!

Any updates on the Linux port? The money's burning a hole in my wallet, the Linux client can't arrive soon enough! :)

It's all up to Ryan... he hasn't updated me in a while. He's doing it for free, so maybe some paying work came up and he's been busy or something. :)

I'm also a Linux user, and already bought Aquaria a few minutes ago. I really hope there's a native port sometime in the future. That and the imminent release of Ultraedit for Linux will make my day!

It's almost done:

Aquaria:

 This is almost done, but I'm crunching on something very important. Hopefully
 I'll start passing some Linux builds to Bit-Blot for testing in ~2 weeks
 when this other project is off my shoulders.

Sounds great! Do you need beta testers? I would even preorder :-)

Hi, I just reg. to post this.

I would buy this as well. This is by far, one of the best, if not the best, 2D game I have played to date. Much love went in to this. Thank you! We switched to Ubuntu a while ago. We are not planning on going back to Windows. A suggestion: Ubuntu has it's own "Software Store" - inside - of Ubuntu. Why not contact the Ubuntu ppl and let this pearl find it's way in to that system? Ubuntu announced that there will be a "free software" section (that is already there) and in future a "commercial software" category as well. I think of it like "steam", just better. You can find anything you want, out of ONE place - awesome.

Anyway, just a suggestion. I know about 8-12 ppl that would buy this for Ubuntu/Linux, if it gets a decent port.

Thanks for the great game, keep it up!

Ryan does the port, so it WILL be a REALLY GOOD port. :)
