    Speaking of linux games, has anyone had the pleasure of playing this yet? Did anyone find any particular levels challenging?

    The level where you have to build some kind of tower is annoying me to no end...

    The last world has a ridiculous difficulty ramp compared to everything else.

    I've beaten it on the Wii. Not sure if the levels are different, but it's a lot of fun :)

    The game is really fun, and it's very interesting to know that this was developed by two people (2D Boy, an independent game developer).

    This game has even made it to the wii in some form or another. I played the pc demo it was pretty good for a simple game.

    If you have a wii and you like this you should look into de blob, while it does not play the same at all, it seems semi relevant and it was a fun game.

    aight beat that balancing bridge level, and now i'm on the epilogue. They say the four levels are supposed to be very hard, but the two i've done have not presented much of a challenge. Still the hardest level in my experience was in the first chapter where i had to climb the walls to get to the pipe, that took like 20 tries!
