Default World of Goo port: a call to action

World of Goo is a very fun puzzle game made by 2DBoy. They are an independent developer that is very friendly to Linux and has absolutely no DRM. Actually, they had *tremendous* sales right after releasing the desktop Linux port, and they have been working on an iphone 3GS (maybe 3G and not 2g) port. The lack of DRM, previous Linux success, and the iphone port mean that WoG would be an ideal game to get ported to Maemo 5/n900. I'm not sure if it could be made to work with older tablets, but a Maemo 5 port would still be really great.

I suggest that any Maemo users that would be seriously interested in getting this game (legit) for the n900 should send a message to the folks at 2DBoy via the following link. be sure to include Maemo 5 port somewhere in the title.
