The wait for this game is killing me! I don't think I've had this much anticipation for a game to come out. I had to fire this game up on my Mac just so I could replay a couple of levels. And I realized what a perfect fit this game is for the iPad. I think the touch controls are an ideal fit for this game (vs. a mouse).
Unless it was rejected for some reason, I have to also believe it will be out this week. Maybe on Wednesday! That seems to be the big release day for new games.
I believe it won't be out before AT LEAST the 8th, check the blog. The're sending out an iPad and a 'Pre-Release' build on the 8th to one lucky winner.
How come bad apps are released the day they are submitted but amazing apps take 2-3 weeks??? It is a conspiracy
I feel a little sorry for 2d boy today. Its a bit like getting up at the crack of dawn to start early on a long drive (submission) only to find everyone else got first class plane tickets and arrived well before you. So many quality apps released today which will more than likely have an effect on early sales for this game (when it finally escapes Apples evil clutches). Seems so unfair. Like someone else said it seems Apple can't green light the junk fast enough whilst this sits for another day in purgatory. I wonder if we will get to hear the reasons behind this delay.
Agree it's strange that it's not out yet. I'm tempted to assume that there were some last minute probs, either the app was rejected or the devs found some problems and withdrew it from review.
yes , I'm more thinking like you. recently, most of apps will be reviewed within 7 days from what I saw. Is the dev here?
I think you guys forgot that this app is set to release as soon as its approved, not a predetermined date like all those other apps. NZ releases are only when an app is set for a certain date, in this case December 9th. But World of Goo is set to release as soon as its approved, similarly to how rimelands was released, so it could still be today, just later on in the day. Once its approved, the developer needs to release it, so it may have been approved, and we just need to wait for the Dev's to release it! At least, thats what I think Also, 7 days does not apply during the holiday season.
Dec. 16th release date Just announced on the Dev blog, approved and scheduled for a Dec. 16th release: http://2dboy.com/2010/12/08/world-of-goo-on-ipad-december-16/
