1 - Great game
The game was great. Although I already had a Windows version, I bought the game again from their own store for a Linux copy.

This was really a completely polished product. Congrats to 2D boy for such an awesome indie work.

I purchased the game twice. Once for $5...and a second time for a penny after I learned I couldn't download it. The servers are still busy and I still don't have my games. :-/

Paid $ 5.00 for my copy. Don't mind giving a couple of bucks to the cause.

Glad to see this campaign was a success... I just* got a Wii after all this time and was finally able to play this game. Amazing how this downloadable title can compete with full priced/packaged games. Expansion packs!

Congrats to 2D Boy.

8.1 - not really
that's $160 that the developer would not have gotten
And a much better chance of selling "world of goo 2" at full price
