Agree the game is worth something. I got it via Groupees bundle. Playing on linux (lubuntu 16.10 x64) in a HP Pavilion g7 laptop with 240Gb SSD, 8Gb ram, AMD A6 Vision quad 1.5Ghz (== 6520G graphics) plays OK (== playable) at 1600x900 (17" lcd native rez) choosing "fastest" setting in start up dialog.

Thanks and Good Luck!

From my main machine (linux), two outputs just in case the 1st is simply too much information:

Note, if someone else is going to run the same (inxi is awesome by the way), the -z flag says to sanitize the output. While not actually a concern, you'll note disk info includes serial number so you can strip that if you're truly paranoid.

From a performance perspective, the machine isn't even close to breaking a sweat, graphics chip is barely running at 1920x1080 resolution, highest quality settings in unity launcher. Even whipping the mouse around doesn't spike CPU or GPU to more than 30% (with things running in the background keeping multiple cores at ~10%). Process info (threads, memory stats, etc.) is below, along with current running time:

I got it in a groupees bundle, didn't actually start playing it until very recently (4k+ games in the steam library does that), but enjoying myself playing it. I'll review once it hits steam as well, it's an interesting diversion of a game. I'll likely end up grabbing a copy for the kids computer too, it's quite family friendly and the genetics is far simpler to deal with than Crazy Plant Shop, while actually teaching more (IMHO) about how natural selection works in a microcosim.
