The one and only.

World of Goo, an ultra-popular paragon of DRM-free physics-based indie gaming, is available now for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, on GOG.com with a 50% launch discount.

World of Goo is one of the most stirring and innovative indie games ever released. It, along with a few other titles, was responsible for the explosive emergence of the modern indie-gaming market in the late 2000s. Its success could be attributed to the high quality gameplay achieved for a fraction of normal development costs, novel design and physics-based gameplay, as well as the refreshingly down to earth, community-friendly developer attitude. World of Goo is a physics-puzzle game at its core, but remains a completely unique gameplay and visual experience that has been imitated, but never quite replicated.

Save the World of Goo from the nefarious World of Goo Corporation, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 50% launch discount will last for one week, until Thursday, February 12, at 10:59 AM GMT.

Grargar: It was Steam-only in this bundle.

DracoMagister: Yes, I got it from that bundle.
Ah, okay, I got mine in the "for Android 3" Bundle, both PC and Android DRM-free copies.

Gilozard: Why are you so upset at the idea of GOG expanding to cover another gaming platform?

Niggles: Android games = not worth it. Plus all the microtransactions? please.. keep that shit off here.
I don't agree with microtransactions either, but not all Android games have that. There are a lot of DRM-free Android games out there that GOG needs!

Better late than never for World Of Goo to be on GOG I guess...
High quality puzzle game with very beautiful aesthetic and very witty "plot"!
One of the first "new indie wave" games I played too, on physical copy even!

I'd like to see Rebuild, Sorcery 1 + 2, and Elder Sign: Omens here.

Plus, of course, the Android versions of all the games GOG already sells, though that might be hard to add in retroactively...

I'm among the few people who haven't played this yet, even though I knew about the game for years. Just didn't want a version that's tied to Steam or some other client, so I'm glad it's now available DRM-free, here at GOG.

So, good game, thanks to the developer/publisher and GOG for bringing it here. And yet, you can't help but wonder why it took so long. Or for that matter, why it's such a bare release -- just 4 wallpapers? And as some others mentioned, the price-point is questionable as well. It is an Indie game after all, and a very old one at that. It may well be incredibly fun and worth the investment, but then, Terraria is a highly popular Indie title too, and as I recall that one came with a heavy discount and a fairly low base price, when they added it to GOG.

Edit: OK, seems the base price for Terraria is about the same as for World of Goo? I do seem to remember it was really cheap when they introduced it, though. Like 75% off, or more?

Yes finally. Now we need other games from Humble Indie Bundle 1-3.

Really glad this ended up here, World of Goo will feel right at home :)

Thanks, GOG.

Woah, this took a while.
Maybe I'll by it again, because my retail copy doesn't have the Linux port.

Finally here, will finally pick it up.

It was DRM free if bought directly from 2DBoy.

Yeah, there probably were some DRM-free versions, but I was only aware of the Steam version, as with most popular Indie titles. :(

Either way, it's good to have it available here now.

Amazing game! Playing it through at least once year.

The German retail version is DRM free too, but without Mac and Linux ports.

Hopefully, the GoG version will include the Android port at some point when they finally add Android (which they most likely will at some point).

Didn't know that -- as far as I remember many of the popular Indie games with German retail releases were tied to Steam. ( Trine 1 & 2, Braid, Limbo... Pretty sure at least some of these came with Steam. ) I saw some of them at the German Amazon site a few years back, and remember being disappointed about that. Never understood the point of retail releases with mandatory Steam requirements, especially for small Indie games. Might as well buy them directly via Steam, if I wanted that.

Edit: As for Android, my guess is that adding Linux support is enough to keep them busy for now. But as GOG grows bigger, it's probably just a matter of time until they offer support for even more OS variations.

I have got the German retail from Braid and the UK retail from Trine 1 too, both DRM free just like World of Goo.
