World of Goo En Route to iPad "Before Holiday Season"
World of Goo En Route to iPad "Before Holiday Season"
If there's a place in your heart for amazing puzzle games, odds are that World of Goo has already found a place within it.
That being said, 2D Boy, the cool cats behind World of Goo, have gone on record to state that the game will be released on the iPad "as soon as we get approved by Apple" and that they hope to release the game "before the holiday season"
The following Q&A divulges a bit more as to what to expect:
Q. Once World of Goo gets on my iPad, should I call it my WogPad?
A. That sounds like a solid plan. In fact, I’ve just renamed my iPad in the iTunes from SmudgeFace to WogPad.
Q. What’s World of Goo?
A. World of Goo is a game about Goo, originally for Wii and PC/Mac/Linux. It won a bunch of awesome awards, including some “game of the year” honors, and is still one of the highest rated Wii games. More info and video here.
Q. What about iPhone, iTouch, iEtc?
A. Maybe. There’s a lot of iGoo to pour in, and we don’t want to release something if it doesn’t run absolutely buttery smooth.
Q. Will the iPad version be multiplayer like on the Wii?
A. Yes, you can play with 11 fingers on one screen. Which means you can play two handed, with friends, an animal, anything up to eleven fleshy things touching the screen. World of Goo is rated E for Everyone.
Q. Can I wear a Goo Ball on my head while playing WogPad?
A. Yes, visit here for all your head warming needs.
Q. Will there be a World of Goo 2?
A. A second World of Goo is a possibility, and something we would enjoy working on. Working together again on WogPad has reminded us how fun it was to make the original. A second World of Goo will need to feel like a perfect and appropriate continuation of the first game. No Red Bull Can levels or rapping Goo cutscenes, according to our official design doc.
A picture's worth a thousand words, a YouTube video even more, so take a look at some beyond-cool gameplay (thanks to fpstest.com) and let us know what you think:
