Aquaria for Linux: Open Beta
A new port of Aquaria has been completed by the prolific Linux codemaster Ryan C. Gordon. 
You can download it here and play it until January 13th: aquaria-beta-installer.run
The installer has beta test details (bug tracker, discussion list) in its README.
Thanks in advance for your help and a huuuge thank you to Ryan! 
P.S. The Aquaria: OST is now available digitally!

Finally a Linux Version and a reason to buy Aquaria.

I played half an hour (until I got the move-song) on 1920×1080 and it was a pleasure. Everything worked as expected. I played the game in Windows two years ago and its the first time I see the improvements made by the patches. Great.

Thanks for a linux version! I can’t wait till I can buy a non-time-limited version.
December 16th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Thanks a lot ! It seems to work perfectly and is gorgeous. Definitely on my shopping list !

Just installed the beta on Ubuntu AMD64 without any problem. The game looks beautiful and fun to play. Definitely on my shopping list.

Couldn’t wait for physical CD delivery so I bought it digitally as well.
Minibadass (Boss Fraught Remix) is simply amazing. Throws me back at time when games used tracker music, hypnotizing synth bass lines. Would love to hear more of that type, remixes of boss themes and my all-time favorite track in Aquaria: Remains.
Tried linux version yesterday on my HP mini311 netbook, runs okay, although there are few bugs here and there. I will play a bit more and put bugs down into tracker at weekend I hope.
Thanks a lot!
I hope Alec and Derek will make Aquaria sequel one day.

This is awesome. I’m getting it as soon as it’s released.
December 24th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Simply perfect, works great only says:
WARNING: no AL_EXT_vorbis support. We’ll use more RAM. (on ubuntu 10.04 (beta) 64 bits)
No problem at all.
Whats the diference in content of open beta compared the final version?

Hmmm, awesome, I’m most likely buying it *but* there are times when it gets slow on my hardware @ 1680×1050: GeForce 7600GS + Phenom II X3 710 + plenty of RAM. This machine runs Quake 4 at full details without problems, so this may be something to look into…

Best way to get Linux user to buy your game is to give it to them for free. No joke
So far I’m getting a bit of slow-down/speed-up at random and every 15 minutes or so I get a flash of desktop. I’ll do a real report in the real report… thing.
January 13th, 2010 at 11:06 am
So the beta is up. When can we get the real deal?
January 14th, 2010 at 1:49 pm
Downloaded Linux Beta2. Now I don’t have any sound problems anymore, but the game crashed shortly after I entered cave 2 …
January 17th, 2010 at 2:52 pm
Release date?
January 17th, 2010 at 9:16 pm
so, when can we expect a linux demo? the beta’s apparently expired now.
January 19th, 2010 at 1:39 am
Beta expired , where can I buy it?
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:51 pm
What Titi said. I want to give you my money so I can keep playing.
January 25th, 2010 at 3:51 am
FINALLY!
Thank you!!!
I have this running via Wine good but I will buy this one as well, just to support this step towards Linux.
I’m going to buy the soundtrack as well, awesome stuff.
Thank you.

There is a new beta up on icculus.org. Just click this:

January 27th, 2010 at 3:10 pm
Hm. I will definitely check this out!
If and when it is released, if I have proof that I purchased the windows version, will I be able to download this without purchasing again?
January 28th, 2010 at 12:14 am
Just installed the 3rd beta and it still crashes in the second cave …
January 30th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
This looks great! icculus fixed one flicker issue that was in the first beta. Normally I hate preorders — I want to see what the game and that it works on my box via a demo — but the beta worked as that for me. We can’t order yet?
February 11th, 2010 at 10:27 am
Hey guys! This looks really beautiful! I’m waiting until the final version is finished to buy it. But I’m honest: I’m impatient like hell!
Keep on working!
February 17th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
Please release the game!
February 26th, 2010 at 8:26 pm
Hi, I would like to know an e-mail to contact you? Since no e-mail contact available works, because I got no answer.
Thank you.

THANK YOU FOR VERY INTEREST GAME
March 14th, 2010 at 12:24 am
Just by the way; if you want to contact Alec I suggest trying Infinite Ammo (http://infiniteammo.ca/)

It is well known that cash makes people free. But how to act when someone does not have money? The one way only is to try to get the loans and just car loan.

Hey guys, are there any news about the Linux version of the fabulous game “Aquaria”?
April 1st, 2010 at 10:16 pm
Everything worked as expected. I played the game in Windows two years ago and its the first time I see the improvements made by the patches. Great.
April 13th, 2010 at 3:09 am
Can’t wait to buy final version. Waiting patientlessly.
April 16th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Hey, That’s wonderful i got alot of links from your site I got your site helpful.
April 25th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
Any new news?
May 4th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
Aquaria is included in the Humble Indie Bundle, a Linux version is available (which I am downloading now). Possible full version?
May 5th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
Seems to be a full version, non beta, and with no expiration. I’m really happy to finally have it.
There could be a few bugs remaining since the installer tells you to report bugs to Icculus, so maybe it wasn’t really the final version, but it works pretty well actually.
And of course, compatible with the Saves from the old beta.
May 6th, 2010 at 10:32 am
In the Aquaria forum it is stated that this is the full version.
May 6th, 2010 at 9:00 pm
Any official release so I can submit to Mobygames
May 7th, 2010 at 3:36 am
The humble indie bundle is the full version, for all three platforms.
May 7th, 2010 at 10:49 am
wow, thanks guys
i didn’t know you guys finally were able to port it to linux till yesterday
i was surprised, that made my day
i bought the humble indie (donated a good amount for the cause)
will be installing it in ubuntu
keep up the good work

Just wanted to say I really liked the post. You have really put a lot of time into your content and it is just wonderfull!
June 2nd, 2010 at 3:16 pm
[...] Alec Holowka pasó algunos desvarios para poder hacer el juego compatible con Linux. Hasta la fecha todavía no hay una publicación completa del juego para Linux, pero hace un par de semanas se lanzo una “Open Beta” compilada, de hecho, esta fue la razón que me llevó a escribir -nuevamente- sobre Aquaria. En cuanto pude echarlo a andar sobre mi máquina me nació una sonrisa kilométrica. Pueden encontrar la beta para Linux aquí. [...]
June 6th, 2010 at 12:52 pm
Ok, so, I missed the Indie Bundle, my bad…
Is there any other way to buy the game for linux?
Or the only way is to build it myself from source code, buy windows version and copy game content files?
