It works well on my mid-level machine. Though it's a 2-D game, it requires libGLU. Gameplay is pretty smooth except for Chapters that have a lot of moving objects in them. Game is like a cross of Lemmings and The Incredible Machine with art elements made from the marriage of Dr. Seuss and Tim Burton. All-in-all, a quality release for a quality game.

Dig Linux... it's always nice to see some more effort in the Linux world. The people that dev Linux could do all of us some good if they would put some effort into intelligent nomenclature. Every time I've attempted a Linux install I have to look up dozens of things that should be named in such a way that they would be intuitive to a user. For instance... How about "Linux Boot Loader" instead of "Grub" ? Maybe I'm dense but "Grub" doesn't mean much to me. Love World of Goo. Dig Linux… it’s always nice to see some more effort in the Linux world.
