BTW, it actually is available with localizations, I never saw the English version (not even for the Demo) as it automatically detected I had a German system and used German texts instead. I'm pretty sure the English signs are even better than the German ones, though. All in all, have fun with your goo! ;-) Nice to hear there are others who try it and find it as attractive as I.

What can I say, it is a masterpiece. In fact, after playing through the demo level I decided to buy it - that's the first time ever that I bought a computer game. As to localizing, it might not be as easy as you think. Did you read sign painter's messages? I can imagine those being pretty hard to translate without loosing some of their meaning. Also, there is a challenge towards the end of the game called "MOM's computer" - the (very amusing) dialogue there should be quite a challenge for translators.

Some stages you can get even more than what the OCD requirements -- super hard but totally rewarding.
