As expected, 2D BOY have published details of their World Of Goo First Birthday experiment. Offering the game for whatever price people wanted to pay (previously it was $20), this meant people could get a copy for as little as $0.01 or as much as fifty million squillion space dollars. (I believe that's the upper limit.) Originally this was intended to last for a week, but has now been extended to 25th October. And being a rather open sort they've announced how many copies they've sold so far, and indeed how much people have been paying, along with much more. It's an unprecedented amount of detailed sales information. Its significance shouldn't be underplayed.

sounds like it would run nicely on my phone
any idea if the radiohead-sylee deal is still available?
/edit oooh, yes it is. Till 25 Oct. this got a rave review on game spot that I found randomly browsing through their terrible interface one bored day at work last week
I suspect the $1-1.99 range represents the minimum amount transferable using one of the payment methods, rather than people choosing to pay more than 1c.
It's bridge builder but cuter and with goo . As such a fine timewaster but given the lack of exploding helicopters and/or aliens with fekking big lazer gunz and spaceships it'll never be a true classic
Don't think so, more that I didn't find any. The picture in the OP is cute and all, but I really don't remember any of that in the game I played - just recalcitrant blobs of tar who frustratingly would not do my bidding.
That picture (or something like it) was from about halfway through the game. It might be that you didn't play long enough to become charmed by it, but then if the game didn't grab you for long enough then it doesn't really matter.
