2 chaps, one coffee shop .. and a few years later, one Wii game. 2D Boy have developed World of Goo, soon to be available on both PC and Wii (unusual!). It's come on leaps and bounds since entering last year's Indie Games Fest, and it was interesting enough back then, too.
World of Goo is a physics based puzzle / construction game. The millions of Goo Balls that live in the beautiful World of Goo don't know that they are in a game, or that they are extremely delicious.
I like this bit on the front page, made me chuckle:
Genius!
The prototype, Tower of Goo, was released as part of the experimental gameplay project:

I can't wait to see how he's improved it.
Also, quote of the moment from 2D Boy:
"Can a computer make you cry? Yes, if it has lasers."
