Happy Birthday, World of Goo!
World of Goo is 1 year old today! How time flies… the 2DBOYs are so proud!
To celebrate the occasion, we thought we’d try a fun experiment – starting today and ending on October 19, you can buy World of Goo at whatever price you like – one cent, a million dollars, the usual twenty, or any creative number they let you type into the text field. If you played and liked the game but hadn’t yet paid for it, this is your chance at redemption!
Also…
It’s not done and we don’t have a release date yet. We have it running well on the iphone 3GS, and with a little luck we hope to get it running smoothly on the 3G as well. Hopefully more news on this soon.

It would be amazing to play Goo on iPhone!

Congrats guys!
I hope there will be an Android version too! :)

Sorry for the low amount (5$) – I have already bought the German retail version, but wanted to get access to the Linux version without having to bother you ;-)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

October 16th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Awesomeness! I can’t wait to play it on the iPhone!
Happy birthday once again!
October 16th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
very cool. hopefully the game will also run on ipod touch (and hopefully apple won’t be too evil in the review process!) — I can guarantee you, my ipod-owning little sister & big fan of the goo will pay any price of not her own money for this. so don’t be too modest ;)
also– I read somewhere else (gawker?) about you “pulling a radiohead”, and it quoted the +90% piracy rate you already blogged about — if you still measure this via IPs, not unique computer IDs, you’ll get extremely wrong numbers since most people have dynamic IPs now that only very few are left.
October 16th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
HOLY HALIBATS.
Another reason for me to get an ipod touch :P
October 16th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
You just got yourself another sale.
Not for the price you recommended but considering each copy is done to almost zero cost, you got yourself good money.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Happy Birthday! Keep the good work. :)
October 16th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Will we see extra DLC chapters/levels in the iPhone version? I already own the Wii version, and it would be cool to see more content in this version so we’re not just replaying it. By the way… Happy Birthday!!! :D

Happy birthday guys, Just bought the game from Steam months ago, wondering if I could download the Linux version for it. Then I got it from you directly, not free but close enough (really close :p)

This game is awesome! :D
I’ll donate in advance looking forward for a Nokia N900 (Maemo 5 OS, based on Debian Linux) port !! Please give a look at the device and it’s capabilities, and evaluate this possibility !
Thanks a LOT! ;-)
October 18th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Happy Birthday World of Goo! I remember when I discovered this gem of a game last winter. Bought it the next day, and haven’t stopped playing since. When you release Goo for iPhone, I will absolutely be one of the first to buy it—just post here and let us know
October 18th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
Pues, ¡feliz cumple WoG! y que cumplan varios mas, esperare con ancias la versión para Iphone.

October 19th, 2009 at 7:54 am
Already bought this in store, used this opportunity to buy the linux version for a lower price.
Happy birthday from another WoG fan =D
October 19th, 2009 at 10:20 am
best wishes to you and the pay-what-you-want sale. I chipped in $5 to the pot. Hope your no-drm approach to computer games is able to work. Let’s support them with our cash everyone.
October 19th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
chipped in a measly $3 so i could downlaod for linux, having already bought it retail, wanted to chip in more (alot more) but the paypal transfer would’ve finished only after the sale ended, hope you guys made some big bux on this.
October 19th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Thanks for the chance! I love this game, and I buy with one friend. Happy Birthday WOG!
October 20th, 2009 at 3:11 am
Wondering if porting this over to the Zune HD would be possible as well? Sure, it’s not the 3gs or ipod touch, but it’s holding it’s own thus far.

Props to the WoG team for doing this. I have a hunch the steam sales (and all sales) were so successful because people wanted to show their support for a crew of developers who believe in DRM free software. I don’t know anything about this game but I’m sure buying a copy!

October 22nd, 2009 at 2:05 pm
iPhone Goo!? That’s just awesome. Please do port that to the Pandora (which has rather similar hardware). I don’t expect to ever have an iPhone, but I’m almost definitely buying a Pandora, and I’d love to see World of Goo available for it.

Best regards from Chile
October 28th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
I know you said that WoG couldn’t be ported to the DS Lite because it wouldn’t support the physics engine. Have you considered the DSi, wich has a faster CPU and more RAM than the DS Lite? WoG would be great on the DSi!
October 29th, 2009 at 2:47 am
A Android version would be very nice!

Happy B-DAY WORLD OF GOO! I know I’m a bit late,
but still I’m amazed how time flies! Also:

I won’t be so hard for you to make that game… Because if I’m correct, World of Goo (yay…) is made with Adobe Flash; the only problem would be to minimize the Objects so they fit in a 320×420 Resolution…
In few words… I won’t be so hard for you guys!
I hope you get a lot o’ Money with that Game!! You’ve inspired me to make FULL HEARTED Games!!
