Perfect, both now work...
the email piece didn't relay same instructions and going online for kinemac solved it
greatly appreciate the feedback and help.
i guess the multiple server issues by purchasing asap was not a good way to go.
goo is pretty cool.
thanks again

I thought I had already paid for this - I liked it the minute I first downloaded the trial.  It was an extra bonus to find out that I had not yet bought it, since I got so distracted by the missions and the forums.   Amazing game.  smile  I'd still buy it again for the Wii, just to see how it plays on that.

HAH! I have just "wasted" a few hours on GOO and now have the highest tower with the fewest gooballs -I think...I came home early tonight so I could get up early and go tromping around in the "forest" with a friend tomorrow...I stopped in to play some GOO and was sucked in.

2 hours later....I just love the intelligence of the design!

I don't like "froggy" yet though...I am stymied.

I do think it would be interesting if there was a way to tell if MacHeisters were some of the other players that are building some of the taller towers...Maybe if we put MH in front of our player names???

I loved the trial levels in the demo of this game. I was hoping that it would turn up in the bundle, so I held off purchasing it. I am delighted to finally own a copy and be able to play the remaining levels. smile

Yeah, it is, as far as I know. This is supposed to be the reason why savegames are not compatible between the windows and mac versions (which is a pain for me).

Awesome game, I'm still baffled at how indie developers come up with great concepts and put an attention to details (graphics!!!!) that much larger studios don't do so well.

Being kind of a hardcore gamer, it's great to play a game with such a small learning curve yet the puzzles are entertaining and challenging to say the least.

This alone was worth the bundle's price, need I say more? Good job!

I was doing ok at first but as the levels got a little harder each time my patience kept dropping so I had to give it a rest. Will have another go later to see how I get on then it will have to be back to work.

I have to say that World of Goo is my sleeper app of the bunch.  I'm not much into games on the computer, but this one is very addictive.  It's a great diversion from the daily grind.  I would never have purchased this app separate from a bundle, so thanks MacHeist.

I usually don't play games, but this great. It's difficult enough to get you into it, but soothing at the same time. A great way to be unproductive.

World of Goo is goolicious! And I never play computer games. I dare say it's my favorite application (since I already have competing products for pretty much everything else in the bundle).

To change the resolution you have to right-click on the app, go to show package contents, and dig down until you find the config text file. Changing the resolution isn't officially supported, but I changed mine to 1680x1050 and it looks great.

I don't play games.  At least, I didn't play games till I bought this bundle!  What a time killer!

I hate the freaking frog level, though, but I laugh each time I play the game.  Such a fun game.

I'd have bought the bundle just for this game.

Thanks so much for that tip!  I changed mine to the full resolution of my monitor (1920x1200), and not only does it look great, but it fixed the "all application windows resizing" issue I was having.

What an evil, evil, evil game. I love it. Way too addicting.

But mildly annoyed by the 4th chapter. Glowing green screens are a bit much.

Still, one of the best games I've played in years, and  good part of the reason I bought the bundle.

If anyone's already purchased World Of Goo and is wondering what to do with their extra licence, perhaps you'd consider donating it to wellsprimarywebsite@gmail.com , which is the email address I use for my school website. You can find the school at http://www.wells-next-the-sea.norfolk.sch.uk/

I have this wild idea of using World Of Goo in the classroom, but we have 30 computers and the cost of it is rather prohibitive.
