World of Goo announced for iPhone

2D Boy has confirmed an iPhone and iPod Touch adaptation of brilliant puzzle game World of Goo.

"It's not done and we don't have a release date yet," said 2D Boy on its blog (via Pocket Gamer).

"We have it running well on the iPhone 3GS, and with a little luck we hope to get it running smoothly on the 3G as well. Hopefully more news on this soon."

World of Goo built mountains of acclaim when launched on PC and WiiWare last December. The game involves using blobs of goo to make bridge structures to reach a pipe, with points awarded for blobs left unused. This is easy at first, but becomes brilliantly bonkers as obstacles begin to litter one's path.

Our World of Goo review has all the detail and depth.
