Nominated as a IGF Seamus McNally Finalist, NightSky is an ambient action-puzzle game that offers a gameplay experience unlike any other, as cerebral challenges fill uniquely designed picturesque worlds. The player must maneuver a sphere by using realistic physics to advance; each of these worlds is broken into different areas. The original soundtrack by experimental jazz musician Chris Schlarb will further heighten the surreal experience.
IndieGames.com says: "NightSky does things with balls that you never thought possible, and is stunning in motion."

I bought this game on the Humble Indies Bundle #4 and I managed to have it on my account using the installed games wizard. Will it stay there?
no.
Yes, 64bit version freezes. But the 32bit version on 64bit system works flawlessly.
Neither work for me on my 64-bit Lubuntu system... but I noticed that it freezes at the point where the sound would start. Maybe it's another one of those games that breaks if you use bare ALSA rather than PulseAudio.
I can play the Windows version on Linux using Wine, but that's really not something I like having to do.
(I had to remove PulseAudio because, at unpredictable moments, it starts pegging one of my 3.2Ghz CPU cores at 100% load until you kill it)
I have the opposite problem. I bombs out at launch with ALSA pcm device and socket errors (I'm running Pulse) when I run the 64-bit version. I've not tried the 32-bit binary yet, but I'm about to try it...
Ugh. Well, for the record, it works beautifully in Wine if you get fed up with fighting with a shameful port that was probably only sloppily written to qualify for the Humble Indie Bundle.
Thanks for Linux version. When will you add the keys for Humble Indie Bundle?
last update of the game erase the save progress, and what i did is before i update it i take a copy of it and it seems that the update overwrite the existed save files which is included in the same folder of the game, can you please make it seperated in home folder or so or exclude the save files from the update. by the way if any one want to take his save file here it is i guess nightsky/Settings/Default.ini
this game, like nifflas' other games, puts progress data in an easy to read text file. there's no need to copy and paste the whole folder. just use the new version and update the file to your liking.
