UPDATE: The previously down website is now back up.
World of Goo is a fantastic, creative, funny, wacky puzzle game created for the Nintendo Wii and later released for Windows, Mac, and Linux. And it celebration of its one-year anniversary, indie developer 2D Boy is pulling a Radiohead and charging you whatever you feel like paying for it.
Yes, this ridiculously fun (and once twenty dollar) game can now be yours for a penny, or for a million pennies, through October 19.
To the gaming audience, I’m sure you have heard of this title but to outsiders, do not shy away from this opportunity. Made for only $10,000 (in a world where video game budgets have grown to twenty million) by two people, this physics-based puzzle game is as casual and user-friendly as games get. But it is also engrossing and incredibly smart in its design.
Basically, if you’re even the slightest bit intrigued and pass this up, you’re an idiot.
Here is the link to the purchase page.
Here is a link to a page where ‘Phil M’ of the boisterous Metacritic user community calls you an idiot if you don’t get the game (you gotta scroll to find Phil). See, that means it’s a true statement.
I wish I didn’t buy the damn thing six weeks ago…
OMG I love this game!! Beware it’s wicked addicting.
colin i hate you for getting me addicted to this!
