I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.
In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.
To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.
Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.

Hi Joao,
Our ideal plan is to eventually make our Piclens Firefox work cross-platform. Linux support is something we want to add, but its timing is not yet clear due to our current resource constraints. Thank you for understanding and hanging in there!
Best,
Luna and The Cooliris Team

A linux version is needed. I would use it a lot more if they made it for linux. I tried the new version out today on xp, and the audio is not synchronized. Otherwise, it is an awesome idea.
