The game KG refered to states “Goo is a unique genre-boundary destroying arcade strategy game.”

Unique? Really? So, er, “liquid wars” means nothing to him? http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=liquid+wars&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi

Hey I PREFER a sandbox approach to stuff like this. Since when does sandbox not mean a real game? I hate having a wonderful simulation and them seeing it hamstrung by a bunch of artificial challenges and targets. I know how to have fun and play without people putting me on some linear ride. bah whine moan!
This looks l33t. Original game was great.

‘Goo’ (linked above) is also an Independant Games Festival finalist.

I want to play them both and, depending on how good they are, I might even be tempted to overcharge myself for the privilege by throwing extra monies at their PayPal accounts.

Yes, as a sort of sandbox type thing without a real game. I can’t find it with Google now, but I did find a youtube video for another game , which has the best voice over EVER:

Hasn’t this been out in some form before, say about 12 months ago?

“the developers of Loco Roco might question whether it’s actually theirs.”

In that case, they’d be wrong.
