That's very cool -- has it been like that for a while or is it temporary spike? I remember when my book hit #56 on Amazon for one hour, right after it was reviewed by Slashdot. I was so happy to have a screenshot where I was just ahead of Michael Pollan.
For every World of Goo there are many other indie games that languish in obscurity.
It's World of Goo, right? (The title could be clearer, for those of us who don't play). Anyone played it? I was thinking about grabbing a copy for the boy.
There's a good demo at their site http://2dboy.com/games.php (you can also get it through Steam). The presentation is very slick (atmospheric, with a dark undertone reminiscent of the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), and the puzzles are interesting and varied.
I'm confused... I thought the Burton/Depp version was more recent than the Stuart/Wilder version? Or are you referring to the original novel?
If you look carefully you'll notice quite a significant price difference.

Yeah, it's referring to World of Goo. It was one of the most enjoyable games I've played in years. If you want to try it out before you buy, there's a demo that spans the first chapter/~25% of the game here: http://2dboy.com/games.php
you have no idea

It isn't really 25% of the game if measured by playtime.. by a LOT .. or maybe i'm a dullard and spend way too much time trying to get the OCD rewards on the higher levels ;)
