Sorry... ya, that's what I meant.  ;cP

Really?  That's awesome!  I understand that they did better sales-wise in the 
first 24 hours of releasing for Linux than for any other platform by 40%.

I'm hoping they inspire others, particularly Crayon Physics Deluxe... I waited a 
*very* long time for CPD to come out after discovering the original Crayon 
Physics game.  BTW, the author Petri Perho wrote the original Crayon Physics as 
a 7-Day game (called Rapid Game Prototyping), but because he was locked out of 
his apartment for two days accidentally, he ended up coding it in just five 
days.  He's a college student in Finland.

Also, you can get the original free Crayon Physics, editors, user-created 
levels, a little history, and more here:

FYI, it is a Windows-based game, but it is stand-alone.  It certainly proved to 
be a welcome diversion back then and the new Deluxe version has replayability 
out the wazoo.

Cheers,
