I'm looking forward to this, the original was excellent. Made very much in the spirit of Newground's flash games.

Replaying it on iOS kind of sucked though. Touch, with fingers obscuring the precise location of each gooball is an exercise in frustration.

This will be an instabuy for me, even if it is just new levels with same gameplay as the first one.

There are at least four brand new mechanics compared to the original, as per the trailer video:

- terrain deformation

- liquid goo

- liquid terrain (lava)

- goo cannons

I noticed the goo cannons. Those look like a lot of fun!

Can’t wait for this one, I remember reading an article in which they say 90% of their copies were pirated. I hope they are able to fix this somehow.

We may be able to decrease that just a tiny bit. I did buy it legit, twice, but its a pain in the ass to keep a track of whats going on with licensing, which platform do i have licenses on? What platform did i get migrated to without knowledge or consent? Etc. but it is a nice game to come back to every now and then. So i dont buy it anymore but when i feel like playing i pirate it, i figure i own it on at least two platforms already, should be ok. If others like me exist, then the high piracy numbers might in part be a condemnation of drm and another part high praise to the replayability of the game.

Few other games get this much revisitation from me. Warcraft 3 used to until blizz stope that from me and forced me into their "remaster"
