Hi there, just started trying this out. Looks like graphics and everything works fine except for keyboard input. For some reason it's not accepting any, which is weird since it reads my gamepad and mouse.
I can login via facebook, but I can't enter my name to try it out. Any ideas? Thanks!
Ubuntu 11.04
java-6-sun-1.6.0.24
(Minecraft works fine)

Do you have SCIM installed on
Do you have SCIM installed on your Ubuntu by any chance? Try disabling or removing it. I had it installed in my Ubuntu machine but wasn't using it so I just removed it. Keyboard started working after that.

Luckily I only had to quit out of it for it to work, which is good since I do translation work.

Had a similar problem, was unable to make my character move at all even though I could still access the menus with the keys bound to them, but I couldn't move, attack, anything with the mouse or keyboard.
Noticed how the game was stealing energy from me just for logging in, I wasn't able to do &*#$ and yet apparently I gotta pay for more energy if I wanna keep playing? Forget this.
Edit: Please don't use profanity on the forums.

Possible fix (Java, Linux, ibus/SCIM and keyboard input)
Do this before starting the game in a terminal:
unset XIM
unset XIM_PROGRAM
unset GTK_IM_MODULE
unset QT_IM_MODULE
unset XMODIFIERS
Instead of all these lines, on Ubuntu you can instead
source /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/none
You can for example make a sh script to start the game, and place it in /home/user/.getdown/spiral/spiral-start.sh:
#!/bin/bash
unset XIM
unset XIM_PROGRAM
unset GTK_IM_MODULE
unset QT_IM_MODULE
unset XMODIFIERS
cd $( dirname $0 )
java -jar getdown-pro.jar .

That causes graphics issues
edit: flicker was caused by tear-free being enabled in catalyst
I have spoken with some Linux and OS X players that have keyboard issues, mostly repeated characters, which we'll look into.
If any other players have had these types of issues and found a solution please reply.
