In case you want to give WoG as a gift, but can't find the gift customization link, just add <code>&op=gift</code> to the end of your download link. They're still trying to recover from the second wave of donations, so their website isn't fully up (as of now, the forums give you a 404). Note the WoG Corp. Online system isn't working, as they're updating their leaderboard system. wizzard_of_ozz2004 on "World of Goo" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4035#post-66250 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:19:47 +0000 wizzard_of_ozz2004 66250@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Bobby's links have been fixed.

I've already tried it and loved it, but the full version isn't available anywhere nearby and my dad doesn't trust online banking. I'd be grateful, and since 1 penny mightn't make much difference to you, could you please send it to me at ***e-mail removed*** Or perhaps download link to the same if that's possible? Thanks. thenameipicked on "World of Goo" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4035#post-66151 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:55:58 +0000 thenameipicked 66151@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ I didn't have the problem getting the email, it came in less than a minute for me. Getting the download to start took forever....strange :P Bobby on "World of Goo" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4035#post-66143 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:15:57 +0000 Bobby 66143@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ World of Goo was a featured item on the latest MacHeist--a game scenario that highlights indie developers for the Mac platform. It works much like Giveaway of the Day, in that regard. Participants come together during 'mission briefings' to gather clues and solve mysteries. Software is given away throughout the game. Bundled software is available for purchase (abt. $50 for $500 worth of utilities and games) at the end of the game and the money is donated to charity. If World of Goo has been converted to PC, then there's hope Heist giveaways like Times, Boinx TV, Picturesque, Kinemac, ShoveBox, DevonThink, Wire Tap, Layers, Cro-Mag Rally and Fresh will make it to the PC market as well. I hope the GAOTD team is talking to those developers ...how about it, Moderators? Perhaps you could even work out a mystery-solving scenario for software giveaways?

It doesn't actually contain a download link, but a "please wait for that email" message. I guess PayPal is really slow in delivering orders, so about 5 hours later I received my download link (unfortunately, it was right after I turned off my computer, so I didn't find out until morning). I feel compelled to giving them some more money. I played the demo while waiting for my download link and found that this game is quite cool. More importantly, it works great on my dumb Intel graphics chip. Oh well, I guess I'll pay them when I have more cash. In the mean time, I'll pick up a few more copies and send them to friends. thenameipicked on "World of Goo" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4035#post-65848 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 06:31:46 +0000 thenameipicked 65848@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ GMMan, if you refresh it until their server (which is really busy) accepts your page request, you will get the download link. I actually thought that this was very smart of them...I was never consdering buying for them, even when it went on Direct2Drive's sale...but then when this happened... I was going to pay minimal...but then I felt bad, so I paid $5...not only because I felt bad, but also because it was going straight to the developer...not a 3rd party :P Whiterabbit-uk on "World of Goo" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4035#post-65827 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:28:36 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 65827@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ I'd still pay full price for it any day. It's a brilliant game that I occasionally return to. I'm surprised that they are almost givingit away, but then again, with all the game deals around these days maybe not. :) GMMan, A+, Game Modder on "World of Goo" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4035#post-65821 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 21:36:31 +0000 GMMan, A+, Game Modder 65821@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Well any time to get a free game (in this case a $0.01 game). I'll probably try it out. Unfortunately for some reason, I can't get to the after-sale page. I guess they hate me for paying 0.05% of what the game's worth :( devildog on "World of Goo" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4035#post-65791 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:45:46 +0000 devildog 65791@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ World of Goo just turned one year old!

I've been buying so many games recently I can hardly keep up. Though I did download the custom made levels that are free. There's also an editor of sorts (I've not checked out how easy it is to use yet) available. I think I may have posted a link somewhere, but if not you can find everything over at 2D-Boys site. Actually the link is on 2D-Boys front page, so here it is (though I bet you already have it): <a href="http://goofans.com/" rel="nofollow">http://goofans.com/</a> It's a beautiful game that all the g=family have got into. With respect to the moving drum; you have to build a wide base and then when it's tuned over quickly build a tower. It's hard to explainn in words, but basically you need a wide bas e that enables you enought time to build up to the tap. I only took two attempts at it. I think it's one of the most innovative games to have been released last year. I've just bought Crayon Physics deluxe, which I'm just about to post a link to in the post I made about it the other day: <a href="http://www.crayonphysics.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.crayonphysics.com/</a> I think it's going to be as enjoyable as Goo. It comes with 70 levels and a levels editor, so you can make an unlimited number of your own levels. I reckon they will be allowing the community to upload custom made levels, which means there will be lots of free levels available. :) Violet4714 on "World of Goo" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4035#post-48710 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 09:17:56 +0000 Violet4714 48710@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ hello, stephen... i had to unearth this post to thank you...or curse you...not sure which yet...lol... "World Of Goo" became the Christmas item for me...after checking out your posts, seeing the Tim Burton-ish look, and the "Goo" site...i HAD to have it............Thanks, Mom!...i know...sad from a 42 year old... :/ anyway...now i have "Goo" for PC...and we are buying some "Wii Points" cards for two other households to go "Goo" themselves...@20 bucks a pop...the "Wii Points" cards will leave the others some extra points...@$60, total...which looks pretty reasonable, considering the price of games... the cursing part: stuck right towards the beginning...those spinning wheels seen in your screenshots...aarrgghh!............at least it isn't embarrassing, like getting killed by beetles in "I Love Puppies"...rofl... more cursing: addicted to "Goo" at the moment...tower only about 3 1/2 meters by the Corporation...and the leaderboard says the highest tower is about 490,000 meters high...aarrgghh!... questions for you, if you are still Gooing and have the time: did you order the "Profanity Pack"?...with all my cursing, the Gooballs might as well be, too...i don't see a place to order it, just that it was available for preorder...any clue about ordering that?... thanks again, stephen... : ) Whiterabbit-uk on "World of Goo" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4035#post-43471 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 02:45:16 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 43471@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ I forgot that I'd posted several game play images into my photobucket account several months ago. The main menu has changed, otherwise all the screnies are valid: <a href="http://s109.photobucket.com/albums/n61/Whiterabbit_01/World%20of%20Goo/" rel="nofollow">http://s109.photobucket.com/albums/n61/Whiterabbit_01/World%20of%20Goo/</a> Whiterabbit-uk on "World of Goo" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4035#post-43404 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 11:18:24 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 43404@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ For those gamers who are always on the look out for unusual, original and different games that have the makings of a classic puzzle game (anyone bought Gish, or Gumboy Crazy Adventures – well, IMHO, World of Goo is comparable to those games), then you must check this game out. I originally posted about it following a post about the 'Tower of Goo' which is a Freeware taster for this release. I've been Beta testing it since around February. The first link below takes you to the home page and the second link to a download of ‘Tower of Goo; which demonstrates the oddity of this game. The actual game (which was released today) is a gazillion times better than the freeware taster though, so check out a demo of the game if there’s one available. There’s a video of the game play on the same page as the download link. (please note this is a commercial game and not one of the many free games I post on these forums) World of Goo home page: <a href="http://2dboy.com/games.php" rel="nofollow">http://2dboy.com/games.php</a> Tower of Goo Download: <a href="http://www.acid-play.com/download/tower-of-goo/" rel="nofollow">http://www.acid-play.com/download/tower-of-goo/</a> This is a 9 out of 10 game for me (I’ve never scored 10)
