Wow, that’s sweet. I definately have to get me one of those.

So… DSi, anyone?

oh yeah! please please make sure it also works with a pen in the linux version (since I have a linux tablet pc :D) — most SDL based games just jump the pointer to (0,0) when you move the pen (defcon for example, which would be really cool with a pen).

Yup! I’ve been playing the game on a tablet PC too. It’s awesome! I wouldn’t do it any other way.
I only have one suggestion: there needs to be an on-screen keyboard for the profile entry screen. People playing this game on tablets without keyboards would need to plug in a USB keyboard just to type their name in, which is just dumb. Once you get past this, the game just rocks on a tablet.

I spent a few hours playing it on my tablet last night. Definitely the best interface!

I have been using my Tablet for the game also.
There really needs to be something done about trying to pick out goos because it has been a real pain throwing them with the pen.

You can get touch screen LCD’s too, with a k/b on screen!
man, I’d love one of those! :D

I can definitely concur with this; I’ve been using my tablet, Toshiba M700 Protege, and it works like charm.

BRB, im gonna go buy a tablet.

Yeah I’ve also been playing on my mother’s tablet pc and it’s really really the best way to play this game.

looks good
DS version plz — haha maybe you guys can have a little holiday after the ridiculous amount of work that you put into this game.
Chapter 4 is just so full of win. I felt like I was playing a new game. So unexpected!!!
Love the crazy finish.
Now explain to me how to do the first epilogue level, its just so annoying seeing the worm made of goo slip over the edge! :D

Now I want one of those, but at least I am better in the first level than him. :D

[...] I totally forgot to gift the world with my knowledge of Goo! 2Dboy has already been informed, but I can attest that the ideal input method is the Tablet PC touch screen. Mice are OK, but you [...]

I wonder if i’ll be able to rig my palmtop to run it…
That would be the sex.
October 9th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
WOW
I can’t wait for the WiiWare version!
It’s gonna be sooo fun!! :D

There is no doubt that this game IS awesome. There is no need to playtest it.
Since it is so awesome, we can garantee that there will either be a homebrew port of this game on DS, or maybe, but the odds are EXTREMELY thin, maybe they will officially release it.
