World of Goo - pay any price until Sunday

For those of you who haven't bought this nifty little phyiscs-y game it is available until Sunday for any price you feel it's worth.

If you feel it's worth a penny, you're entitled to pay just that. If anyone's interested I paid $5US (the article I saw it on said the average price paid is levelling off at about $3US so I thought I'd stay on the happy side of that).

Woo for fun cheap games this week!

It's a lot of fun, I bought it on a steam special a while back.
At first I thought that it wouldn't be varied enough to keep me interested, but as you go along they do introduce new mechanics (mostly in the way of blobs with different 'powers') and they mix it up just enough to keep you playing the whole way through.
And if it's any price, why not?
If you're too broke/stingey buy it for a cent, what've you got to lose?

I just wanted to post this- http://kotaku.com/5385832/Pay-What-You-Want%20Birthday%20Sale%20Results

It's some sales statistics on what people are paying. There has been some speculation that the developer loses money due to paypal transactions fees on orders under 30 cents- something to keep in mind when you are deciding how cheap to be.

I got it for $8 and went on to write a 3-page essay for their survey on what I believe is the correct pricing and distribution model for indie games. Now that I have no time to actually play it, I'm thinking maybe I should've just played the game instead of writing that dumb feedback.
