We’re Releasing the PC and Wii Versions Together
The good news is we’re very close to getting all the publishing stuff taken care of. The bad news is that for marketing purposes the publishing stuff requires us to release the game on PC and Wii at the same time. That means the PC version will not release on February 14 as planned. We’ll announce a new release date as soon as we can.
Pre-orders will still get the game a week or so early and get the first chapter of the game on February 14 as an extra token of Valentine’s love.

Hopefully that decision will pay off :]

Noooooooo!!! …not another game delay… *sigh* …well, either way, know that we’re looking forward to the game’s release and we really wanna play!!!
January 21st, 2008 at 1:58 am
Ack. Delay. *cries*
Ah well if it helps :)
January 21st, 2008 at 5:28 am
I’ll get both
January 21st, 2008 at 12:00 pm
thanks for being so understanding, everyone.
January 21st, 2008 at 12:59 pm
No thanks!
I’ll be busy with chapter one anyway, so… :)
January 21st, 2008 at 2:11 pm
So how many chapters can we expect? :)
January 21st, 2008 at 2:41 pm
There are 5 chapters, each with it’s own theme and ball types, all tied together via a bit of an online metagame
January 21st, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Well its not like its your choice to delay the game, more to do with the suits. But this way the game is more likely to get bigger sales. I know I will be buying this game for the people I know that have a Wii. Can’t wait for the beta testing to start.
January 21st, 2008 at 5:57 pm
Wow, Wii Goo! I am so getting this.
January 22nd, 2008 at 12:08 am
We get chapter 1 at February 14 right? How would that work?
Do we get another executable or do we get the whole game which just restricts access to chapter one?
January 22nd, 2008 at 12:35 am
Tom, most likely it will be two separate downloads.
January 22nd, 2008 at 1:28 am
I can’t wait to get my fingers sticky and dirty. :)
January 22nd, 2008 at 3:41 am
“”thanks for being so understanding, everyone.”"
I blowed all my mean stuff out for other games that got delayed :x
January 22nd, 2008 at 5:42 am
Quick question, does this give you the chance to get the linux version out at the same release date as the rest?
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:08 am
Not sure yet, Mike. We might use this extra time to pack some bonus goodies into the game.
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:31 am
Like a level editor? :)
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:32 am
Like a level editor? :) (please please please)
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:36 am
Shhhh! People might hear you!
January 22nd, 2008 at 6:22 pm
A level editor would be more than cool, it would be (gets out thesaurus) excellent, fantastic, out of this world, splendiferous, marvelous, matchless, peerless, exemplary, and divine.
Need I say more? :)

Is there gonna be any multi player? some form of leader boards? Or even a mod community? for the PC version of course!!
January 23rd, 2008 at 7:48 am
@Blake:
I remember a review (I think it was also posted here in one of the latest news), where it was stated that the leaderboards are made. They consist of towers build by users and the maximum height they gain. The one with the highest height is number one, but those towers might collapse as you build them higher, so you have to be careful not to loose your first place. A perfect thing for perfectionists.
Also you do gain more Goo during the levels for the Highscoretower.

Wow, I thought this was another Windows-only game. I might end up buying 2 copies, one for the Wii and one for Linux, just so I can see how different they are to play (that’s assuming my laptop’s up to the task, but if it is, it might be extra sweet because it’s a tablet.)
January 23rd, 2008 at 12:06 pm
Loving your game, guys :) Who are you publishing the Wii version through?
January 23rd, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Its on the Wii? YAY! Thanks 2d-Boy!
January 24th, 2008 at 1:48 am
Now my PC died on me and doesnt make any sound when starting (except the fans, HDDs etc.). No betatesting possible on my side right now :
January 25th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
When does the beta start anyway? :)
January 25th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
I think this weekend. I am not sure though.
January 25th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
You know, guys, my waiting is oddly becoming pleasant. :D
No, really, another month won’t change the whole thing a lot, I’ve been waiting since I saw “The Tower of Goo”, and I saw it the day it appeared at EGP. :) I just knew there’s going to be something more heavy, and now it IS there, waiting for me around the 2D corner, and all I have to do is just wait a little more. It’s nice. :)
I’m happy and inspired. Keep on, wish you luck.
January 28th, 2008 at 2:28 am
Is this a WiiWare game?
January 28th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Just saw your game on nintendowiifanboy. Looks like a lot of fun. I can’t wait to play it.
February 14th, 2008 at 12:53 am
