2D Boy has announced that World of Goo will be hitting Android devices on 28 November 2011.<\/p>\n
The announcement was made through an amusing faux-press-release.<\/p>\n
“While attempting to ship Goo for Android devices yesterday, a World of Goo Corporation tanker malfunctioned, flooding a 40 mile stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and disabling around 150 vehicles. As a result, Android Goo will be available to all World of Goo Corporation\u2019s customers via the Android Market on November 28, a 5 day delay from the planned schedule.”<\/p>\n
“We deeply regret this inconvenience to our loyal customers who are eagerly and patiently awaiting the arrival of Goo on their Android devices” said a World of Goo Corporation Associate PR Representative.<\/p>\n
“We are hard at work preparing a new batch of Android Goo and are committed to replacing our shipping and logistics sub-contractors who we believe are to blame for this incident.”<\/p>\n
“This minor failure may have cost the state of Pennsylvania and several on our insurance partners a few million dollars,” added the representative, “but we would like to assure our valued customers that this will in no way affect future shipments of Goo.”<\/p>\n
Goo’ stuff.<\/p>\n
World of Goo is a multiple-award-winning title that challenges players to get most, if not all of their gooey friends to the level exit through increasingly complex physics-based methods. The various goo balls have their own unique physical properties which the player must manipulate.<\/p>\n
MyGaming gave the title a whopping 90% when it first hit PC<\/a>, and having already garnered a 96\/100 Metacritic rating for iOS devices<\/a>, there is every reason to believe it will translate perfectly to this generation of Android touchscreen devices.<\/p>\n World of Goo is expected to go on sale on the Android Market for $4.99.<\/p>\n
