I bought a copy for myself today, then immediately went back and bought a copy as a gift for my cousin. The first purchase went through just fine, but the second one was flagged for some reason so I'm still waiting for plimus to call me back to do whatever it is they need to do to process the order. Hopefully they get back to me before monday.

Hmmmm... its in Plimus' hands at that point.
But if it gets too late, drop us an email and we might be able to work something out. :)

Yeah, had that too with another game. The fact is, Plimus checks every order you place and if you place the same order twice they think you placed it by accident. Just send them an email with your order number and tell them that you meant to purchase it twice.

Hey guys. I got your message about the 1.1.1 version coming out soon and it started me thinking about buying the game as a gift for a few people. Any word about gift forms and the like yet?

Its up to Ambrosia at this point. I suggested it pretty heavily to them because I think it would be a great thing for customers (getting the option to gift) and for them as well. (more sales)

I know it's up to them, but I thought you may have some insider-informations. ;) Thanks :)

I believe it should be mentioned that now that Aquaria is on Steam, it's very easy to buy Aquaria s a gift for someone else. if they have an e-mail address or even easier you have them as your Steam friend you can very easily purchase them a copy. =)

So spread the holiday cheer!

Just bought it again for a friend, but I went with the non-Steam version since he uses Linux most of the time, and when I tried it Steam was often problematic to run via Wine.
