Has anyone of you bought World of Goo, yet?
World of Goo is a physics-based puzzle game very generally similiar to other games like Bridge Builder. In most levels you have to reach a pipe by building a structure to it, so that it can suck up all remaining goo balls wandering around the structure. But WoG really shines in how very creatively it was designed. The whole presentation from the nicely drawn and often absurd levels to the great soundtrack is so very harmonious and there is a lot of variety, as no two levels are alike, but all similarly inventive. You are also oftentimes introduced to new types of goo, so there is no boring routine present which you might have to get used to.
I can't properly describe how very charming this game is, so I recommed giving the demo a try. You can find a lot of download links here: [url=]http://2dboy.com/forum/index.php?topic=378.0[/url]
And you can have a look at the launch trailer here: [url=]http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41427.html[/url]
I bought it directly from [url=]2DBoy.com[/url] yesterday after having spent quite a while with the demo and of course I'm enjoying it a lot :)
So, what about you?

I bought it for the Wii, and yes the game is very good!
Have you already played the Wii-exclusive coop-mode? I got the PC version, but I would still like to hear how it works :)

Yep, pre-ordered it actually. It was short, having a few annoying design flaws and oversights, but fun while it lasted. While I don't think the content justifies the price tag, the concept most certainly does - so get the game right now if you have any interest in unique, inventive, and DRM-free games.
Great game, cheap as chips. Two people created a game that's better than most of the games created by huge teams of people with budgets in the millions.
I love this game - concept is very simple - physics :)
Lots of fun :)
I played the demo and within five minutes of playing I bought it. 20 dollars is not enough for this wonderful work of art.

Oh right, I totally forgot to mention this one point which is nicely similiar to GOG: 2DBoy indeed released the game without any DRM as an experiment to see if it impacts the sales negatively or not. This shouldn't be the focus of discussion in this thread, but it surely adds to the sympathy I have towards the developers :)
I bought this straight away after reading Eurogamer's review. It's brilliant.
I'm so happy its DRM free, I'll buy it twice.

O SHI- Billy Mays!
Just bought it. Good fun and well worth picking up.
I'm buying the Linux version when it comes out, as I want to support Linux games, DRM free games, good indie devs, and use of open-source libraries all at the same time.

Unless you don't have windows at all, you can already safely buy World of Goo now. No matter when you buy or bought it, you have access to all 3 version of World of Goo, the Windows, Mac and Linux version, as soon as they are ready. It will just take longer until the Linux version is available, as they prioritize the Mac version.
Just downloaded the demo. It is a good bit o' fun. If I decide to buy, it'll probably be on the Wii as I can always use another game on it to try and justify its purchase ;)
