World of Goo (AP) – While attempting to ship Goo for Android devices yesterday, a World of Goo Corporation tanker malfunctioned, flooding a 40 mile stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and disabling around 150 vehicles. As a result, Android Goo will be available to all World of Goo Corporation’s customers via the Android Market on November 28, a 5 day delay from the planned schedule.
“We deeply regret this inconvenience to our loyal customers who are eagerly and patiently awaiting the arrival of Goo on their Android devices” said a World of Goo Corporation Associate PR Representative. “We are hard at work preparing a new batch of Android Goo and are committed to replacing our shipping and logistics sub-contractors who we believe are to blame for this incident.”
“This minor failure may have cost the state of Pennsylvania and several on our insurance partners a few million dollars,” added the representative, ” but we would like to assure our valued customers that this will in no way affect future shipments of Goo.”
The multiple-award-winning World of Goo is expected to go on sale on the Android Market for $4.99, matching the universal iOS version’s price point. It will run on most phones with Android 2.2 or newer and on all tablets, and includes OpenFeint integration.
