I purchased world of goo from the ubuntu store and love the game. I am using 64 bit precise and so far the game has run fine. For some reason the updates through its ppa are coming up as unauthorized. I gave a detailed description of this at askubuntu here:
The output when I do my regular sudo apt-get update that is signalling an error when trying to update world of goo is:

The developers at ubuntu tell me it is apparently a known bug and a fix in the works. So hopefully this is resolved.
If it doesn't become resolved, just get a software copy off of Amazon.

That doesn't really help, gootrooper97. He's talking about the Linux version, anyway, which Amazon doesn't carry.
@mcwog: Hopefully that gets fixed soon. Sorry for the lack of response; this is just a fan site, and we can't always help with everything.

Let alone MOM is like the only person here that knows anything about the Linux version, so I can't really give any helpful input. Hope it gets fixed though.

-_-thanks for the replies. I never received a reply from developer but it does appear to be an ubuntu software store bug that is causing the problem for quite a lot of people.
The issue is not resolved as of now but the bug can be tacked here:
