How do I play Mountain on linux?

I recently bought Mountain and I can't figure out how to run it on Ubuntu 14.04 64bit. I emailed the developer but they haven't responded in over a week. When I downloaded the game, it came with a mountain.x86 file but when I run it I get a missing library error and the missing library is not available in the package manager.

You need Mono installed, and if you are running 64-bit (most likely) you may also need to install the 32-bit versions of the graphics libraries that Mountain needs. Ubuntu has most of these libraries installed by default, but only in 64-bit. This is what I did to get going:

sudo apt-get install mono-complete libglu1-mesa:i386 libxcursor1:i386 libxrandr2:i386

You should also make sure that you unpacked the zip with folders intact - there should be a Mountain_Data/Mono folder with Mountain.x86 the only top level file.

Having said all that, I only get as far as drawing the sketches and the "LOADING" screen, then it crashes with a core dump.
