The original World of Goo game was quite a phenomenon back in 2008, I remember it being talked about a lot amongst peers in school. Cool to see a real sequel!

No way!! I used to play the original one on my Nokia phone (E61i - I was called a dork for using such a chonky device back then, but I needed that sweet WiFi!) for hours! It was this and another game from iDreams that were my favorites.

If anyone might be interested:

Yes, concerning stores World of Goo 2 will be Epic exclusive for a while most likely because Epic was a major investor while developing the game.

On the other hand 2DBoy gets 100% of all Epic Store profit during a limited period.

If you are not happy about that you can get it DRM free from the website or wait for the inevitable Steam launch.

Hope this helps :)

Ah, that will be fun to get back to!

Only pity is it's not available for mobile - the first game was perfect on an iPad with touch as the input method.

Happy that they went with Epic. Steam needs more legit competition.

Anyone know what engine this is made in? The original used Open Dynamics Engine for physics simulation. [1]

Interestingly, it looks pretty much the same as the original. That's not a complaint, the original still looks great.

Competition implies that both offer the same service. If the product is not available in both stores they are not competing.
