Description from App Store:

World of Goo is MetaCritic's highest ranked iOS game OF ALL TIME, with a score of 96! Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years.

IMPORTANT: This is a big game, and requires an iPhone 3GS or newer or a 3rd gen iPod Touch or newer. It must be downloaded over a Wi-Fi connection.

Beautiful and surprising, the millions of Goo Balls who live in the World of Goo are curious to explore - but they don't know that they are in a game, or that they are extremely delicious.

This is the FULL award winning game, now on iPhone and iPod Touch. Drag and drop living, squirming, talking, globs of goo to build structures, bridges, cannonballs, zeppelins, and giant tongues.

Mysterious Levels - Each level is strange and dangerously beautiful, introducing new puzzles, areas, and the creatures that live in them.

World of Goo Balls - Along the way, undiscovered new species of Goo Ball, each with unique abilities, come together to ooze through reluctant tales of discovery, love, conspiracy, beauty, electric power, and the third dimension.

The Sign Painter - Someone is watching you.

World of Goo Corporation - Congratulations! World of Goo Corporation is the Global Leader in Goo and Goo Related Product, including World of Goo Corporation Trademark Brand Soft Drink Beverage and World of Goo Corporation Trademark Brand Facial Exfoliating Lotion. Succulent!

Massive Online Competition - Human players around the world compete in a living leaderboard to build the tallest towers of goo in World of Goo Corporation's mysterious sandbox. World of Goo Corporation is contractually obligated to state that everyone is a winner and is enthusiastic to celebrate everyone's tower building opportunities equally.

Congratulations, and good luck!

        look at the app history… it is not on sale…

        • As I interpret it.

          Now it is $1.19
          in ~24 hours it will be $3.99.

          Appshopper can't forsee future pricing as far as I can tell.

          where on the website does it state it is going up in price tomorrow ???

          There are two versions, World of Goo and World of Goo HD. The HD version (http://appshopper.com/games/world-of-goo) has been out since December last year and that's where the review came from.

          The World of Goo (http://appshopper.com/games/world-of-goo-2) was just released for the iPhone only. Looks like they started it on sale before putting up the price.

          FYI - World of Goo HD has now become a universal app. So if you bought it for the iPad before, you can now play it on your iPhone.

          Perhaps look at the developers site:

          http://2dboy.com/2011/04/11/goophonearrives/

          It’s official, World of Goo for iPhone will launch this Thursday, April 14! It will be priced at $2.99 (and equivalents in the rest of the world) but will be on sale for $0.99 for the first 24 hours after release.

          thanks, i'll revoke my -ve then…

  • Just checked my emails. HD version was $1.19 when I bought it in February.

    That's a bonus since I can now use the same one on iPhone.

    • My two kids enjoyed this game when we got it a couple of months ago - worth $1.19 imho. Perfectly legit.

      Only gripe is if it was really priced on a par with the US it should be no more than 0.99cents - we shouldn't have to prepay for discounted cards from chainstores to get the equivalent.

  • I've read about this deal here:

    http://2dboy.com/2011/04/11/goophonearrives/

    Which is on their blog :P

    edit: Been beaten to it <_<

  • is this the same as the one on PC or do they have different levels? Not gonna go through the same levels again :P

    • Same game again but I think the touch interface makes it better on iOS. I now have it on Wii, Steam and iOS. Luckily I'm out of platforms.

  • I'm still wondering whether the develper will put it as free game? bacause most of the game devs do this.
