Support Linux Gaming - Buy world of goo for as much as you like !! (for 1 week)

[yossarianuk]

Hi.

Now is the time to show your support.

For 1 week to celebrate their birthday 2dboy are selling world of goo (for all formats) for as much as you would like to spend !

http://2dboy.com/games.php

(like radiohead did....)

I know this game will not be for everyone - for me it reminds me of the lemmings madness .....

The demo was addictive and am looking forward to playing - I have just bought it (for 8 dollars (about ?5) ... bit skint this month..)

Although one word of warning - I can't actually get my download at the min - the link reads

"The Birthday Sale has made our poor little server VERY busy. Try loading this page again in a few minutes, or even a few hours later if you want to be extra nice while we scramble to get more mirrors up. Thank you, from both the 2DBOYS!"

hopefully i'll have it soon!

I imagine this game will last for some time also (unlike many modern fps's)

regards

EDIT : Download link now working !

Its actually more awesome than I thought - you can choose multiple versions - i.e you can get a .deb / .rpm and (important for arch users) a .tar.gz file.

Linux users had the highest average payment. And made up 17% of the downloads, but that may be misleading because I bet there were a lot of people like me who downloaded all three installers.

sweet !

it ends on October 25th ! (updated)

edit:

WHOA ! that's one hell of an addictive game

I love it

Well the game must be still too expensive as nobody wanted to send it as gift to me

Heh... I'd have done it save I'm kind of broke right at the moment- unplanned for legal expenses (that are still ongoing), un-planned for vet bills, and one of my horses going to the US Arabian Nationals have kind of left loose cash kind of absent in my life for a bit yet to come...

i just asked about the figures for different platforms. my response:



pretty sweet.

Yes and no...

Most of the people paying are cheapskates, paying one thin cent to them per the figures given with an average of roughly $2.

Not a good showing of things. Fortunately, there were roughly 3500 people that paid at least $10 or more.

Hi Shane, we'll post some numbers on that later on this week. It's very
interesting!

I bought this game on the original Linux release (12ε if I remember correctly).

Highly, highly recommended! It's a highly polished, fun, addictive and slightly surreal physics puzzle game. Plus (spoiler - spoiler - spoiler), you get to explode the Goo corporation! Nice twist there.

Heh... The 'next best thing' would be $6.66...

[Zhick]

Nope that would be 666$

Ok, you're right. But I guess I'm a little bit cheap so I went with the next best thing (tm).
Edit:

Well, I'm not _that_ cheap. :P
It's a great game, albeit a little bit short, so anything less than 10$ would have given me the feeling to rip the developers off.
