The Gift of Goo!
World of Goo is a game, and it doesn’t always come in a box, so sometimes it can be tricky to stick a digital game like this under a tree, or in a sock, or wrapped in paper. Luckily, the elves have devised a few options for the adventurous gifters of Goo!
- Gifting for PC & Mac: Now, when you order the game, you can customize a download page with a recipient’s name, and a message from you! If you like box copies more, you can find them on Amazon.com and Best Buy. You are also welcome to burn the downloaded game to a CD.
- Gifting for Wii: The Wii version is sold exclusively on WiiWare, so you can use the WiiWare gifting system. Another option, is to get a Wii Points card at any of the big retailers. World of Goo is 1500 Wii points.
If you need any card or wrapping ideas, there is a semi-secret collection of images for printing located here. Maybe try changing the captions on these happy holiday friends:

Excellent. Does this mean I can buy gift copies in the next few days and then email out the links to the respective download pages in a couple of weeks?

WORLD OF GOO IN EUROPE AT 11 DECEMBER 2008

Ok, when will it hit the European Wii Shop? What’s the hold up? Come on guys, give us the goo already! My kids need to play this on their Wii, so I can keep my MacBook to myself.
I bought the game online for the computers in the house and it must be the best $20 I’ve spent in a long time. I just finished it and I feel and urge to pimp it on everybody around me – is that good?

I’m going to use that to wrap up my small presents!
But I’m sending this game via Wii, so I won’t be able to wrap that up.

@chris davidson
yes, that’s exactly what it means!

Question: if I buy it now, and get a nice download link – how long will this link be valid?
I like to do all my christmas shopping early – did it all, but could use this as a nice little addition. Thus, if I pay today, receive the link to the modified DL-site – will that link still work on Dec 24th?
And… any chance of seeing an example of what this looks like?
Thanks!

What would be nice is if you could make available a graphic that could be printed and placed into a CD case. I’m burning a CD for my wife as a xmas present and it would be great to have some art to make the present more fun to open.
Thanks,

This is brilliant! I’m a fan of giving games that require a brain, and this is just in time for the holidays. Thanks, guys. :D

Box version at retails please, so that I could have a physical one. Please make the packaging as fun as the game, tetrahedron shape, fake furs and yes, exploding goo balls. It would be great if you guys have a repackaged deluxe version, with soundtracks, extra levels, posters, and goo dolls, all furry and cushy and plushy.
