Just a quick hint: We’ve scheduled World of Goo iPad for a one-day “99c Lonely Valentine Sale” for Thursday, February 10th for everyone else out there awaiting a cold and cheap Valentines Day. “We may not have love, but we’ll always have Goo,” said the big pink Beauty Ball as she rolled into the grinders.

Katie McKoy sent in the following story and photos about her son Nathan and the mysterious World of Goo Birthday Cake:

Nathan McKoy is 5 and has mitochondrial disease and has been in the hospital 5 times in the past 5 months. World of Goo has really and truly helped him pass the time and kept him occupied when he was not feeling well. He plays the game better than most adults and he is 5. He absolutely loves World of Goo. This is a link to the video of him when he saw the cake.

Dani Startt made the cake for Nathan. Due to Nathan’s medical issues, the cake is an allergen free cake that he can actually eat. She made it special for him since he has been dealing with so much.

Happy birthday, Nathan, from all the Goo Balls!

World of Goo has been out on iPad for a month, and the overwhelming response so far from reviewers, fans, and game of the year awards has made the Goo Balls feel extra delicious, so thanks!

To celebrate, we’re experimenting making World of Goo 50% off for a limited time. If you haven’t yet, go pick it up for $4.99 and force your friends to get it too!
