Thank for this. It's great seeing well-made games for Linux finally. I played through this and liked it so much that I bought a copy from 2D Boy. Do the same!

Guys !..... can someone help me create a launcher for World of Goo .... much appreciated !

h1ll (2010-02-03)

Arkaprovo just right click the gnome menu and click edit menu. Then click games and click new item. Type in the code to run it. Mine is "sudo /usr/games/WorldOfGoo/WorldOFGoo" so that launches the main thing in there. If you need help just commet back.

Hey h1ll , thanks for your prompt reply ..... however, I haven't yet been able to make the launcher ! ..... which flavour and version of UNIX are you using ? ....As you suggested everything works cool .... just that the game doesn't starts (there is not even a pop up window indicating some issue ! :( ) ..... however from it works cool from the terminal window

Arkapravo try putting sudo in front of the short cut command. Some areas of your folders are only accessible by root. So idk if your putting sudo in on the terminal and not the shortcut or what.

Need help!
WorldOfGoo/WorldOfGoo.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

For anyone having issues with this, first things first... make sure you set WorldOfGoo and WorldOfGoo.bin as executable.
After that, if you're getting the "segmentation fault" error if you try WorldOfGoo (sh ./WorldOfGoo) then rename your /WorldOfGoo/libs folder to /libsbak or something to keep it out of the way. That will keep the program from trying to run its out-dated libs and will use your system's instead.
Should get it up and running for you.
If you have anymore issues (like I did with my wacom pen at full screen), check out config.txt in /properties... pretty self-explanatory.

I'm using Linux Mint 13, I just installed the demo off of the 'Software Manager' then replaced it with this removing demo from the folder name.
It gave "segmentation fault"; when trying to run 'WorldOfGoo' file.
All I had to do to fix it was open 'WorldOfGoo' in
sudo gedit
erased everything in file
typed
'cd /path/to/folder/' (was cd '/opt/WorldOfGoo/' for me)
ENTER Button
then typed
"exec ./WorldOfGoo.bin"
Saved File
Ran it and it started :p
... hope that helped someone
