My my, how time flies. On this date one year ago, World of Goo entered our lives and, well ... it made everything all gooey. (The good, warm kinda gooey.) To celebrate the game's birthday, 2D Boy is offering the title for -- wait for it -- whatever price you want to pay.
Seriously, once you enter a price into the appropriate checkout field, you buy the game for that amount. We'd encourage you to cough up as much as you can spare though, because 2D Boy totally deserves your money. The sale ends Monday, October 19, so start digging under those couch cushions.
You may also want to set aside some loose change for the upcoming World of Goo iPhone port. 2D Boy has a build running on a 3GS right now and is working to get the game going on the vanilla 3G. We'll be sure to keep you posted on its progress.

I just bought this game last night for 3.50 on Target clearance. I own it on MAC but wanted it for the PC. I wonder if I can download a few of these as stocking stuffers for friends. Either way great game and an awesome way to give money to the developer of one of last years most over looked game.

...] They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why?
Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially.

I'm happy to hear your input, but there is no replacement for actually playing the game. While I am often like-minded with everyone else on games, there have been some excellent games that have put me to sleep. Alternatively, there have been crappy games that kept me entertained for many hours. I don't want to reward a game developer with a sliding money scale based on someone else's experiences.

Easy solution:
Either try to find a demo, if one exists, or pirate the game in place of a demo.
Then, if you like the game, buy it at whatever price you want, if not, just get rid of the demo/copy you have and don't buy it.
The second option is technically illegal, but so is pirating porn... just saying.

Also, you could but the game twice. Buy it once for $0.01, then if you like it just buy it again for more and perhaps give the second copy to friend?

I think most people just see porn piracy as a victimless crime. Fat Norwegian midget women need work too! Think of the vertically-challenged!

Well there's no platforming in it for a start. Gameplay wise, you just stick goo balls together to make a tower to reach the end of level pipe, but as with all the best puzzle games, the lengths it goes to with just one simple mechanic is what makes it. As one of the levels is subtitled: "It's not a bug, it's a feature!"

Just purchased my copy for $13.37. Originally I had a pirated copy, but I'd figure if the developers are this cool and the game is decently fun I owe them! Cool experiment 2D Boy.

I'm rather pissed now. I paid to download it, and after charging my debit card it gave me an installer that didn't work. Now the site's been down for awhile so I can't try again or get help. I was being a good guy and giving them some money for it, unlike some people giving like nothing, and now I'm just getting ripped. Figures...

I just donated $10. I know it's only half what they ask for, but I also wrote them an email thanking them for what they are doing.
In a time where game piracy is rampant, I'm glad to see that they are taking the high road and putting faith in the gaming community, even when they will most likely lose a little money because of it.
We should all be extremely grateful.

So fun but so frustrating at the later levels!
I gave them $5 just cause... I love to see cartoony games with cool art and design get the credit they deserve!
