World of Goo on iPad! We’re just about finished, and hope to release the game in the App Store as soon as we get approved and make it through the scary gates. In the meantime, here are some answers to some “frequently” asked questions:

Q. When will World of Goo release on iPad?
A. As soon as we get approved by Apple. We hope before the holiday season.

Q. What’s World of Goo?
A. World of Goo is a game about Goo, originally for Wii and PC/Mac/Linux. It won a bunch of awesome awards, including some “game of the year” honors, and is still one of the highest rated Wii games. More info and video here.

Q. What about iPhone, iTouch, iEtc?
A. Maybe. There’s a lot of iGoo to pour in, and we don’t want to release something if it doesn’t run absolutely buttery smooth.

Q. Will the iPad version be multiplayer like on the Wii?
A. Yes, you can play with 11 fingers on one screen. Which means you can play two handed, with friends, an animal, anything up to eleven fleshy things touching the screen. World of Goo is rated E for Everyone.

Q. Can I wear a Goo Ball on my head while playing GooPad?
A. Yes, visit here for all your head warming needs.

Q. Will there be a World of Goo 2?
A. A second World of Goo is a possibility, and something we would enjoy working on. Working together again on GooPad has reminded us how fun it was to make the original. A second World of Goo will need to feel like a perfect and appropriate continuation of the first game. No Red Bull Can levels or rapping Goo cutscenes, according to our official design doc.

UPDATE (11/24): We just submitted World of Goo to Apple… Waiting For Review!

World of Goo is two years old today. My, how time flies. Coincidentally, and almost just in time, we have a surprise…

Back in march we were approached by David Lien, who came up with this crazy idea of making World of Goo beanie hats as a way of starting a company, doing something game related, and… yes… joining the family business.  See, David’s family owns a hat manufacturing and exporting business in Taiwan. Feel the love?

Since David approached us with sketches, we’ve seen him come up with design drawings, sorting out colors, materials, and styling with the factory, and finally getting the first prototypes in the mail. With the help, advice, and support of friends and family, the beanies finally went into production on September 19th and are expected to start shipping in late November.

Want one?  David is taking pre-orders here. You can buy the beanie on its own, or add $5 and get a copy of World of Goo you can keep for yourself or give as a gift.

We’re both at GDC this week, so we might be a bit slow returning mail for a few days. What? One of us got devoured by a large corporation? It’s probably another fun side project, much like Indie Fund. If you’re at GDC this week and see us wandering around say hello!
