Physics Games and Physics-Based Game Downloads

Matteo sends word that he’s released a teaser to his new game, Rubber Ninajas. It looks a great 3D refresh and expansion of the gameplay he pioneered with Ragdoll Masters:

Wolfire Games, the developers behind the excellent Lugaru, have announced that the long-awaited Lugaru 2 has been renamed to Overgrowth. Wolfire recently transformed from the part-time efforts of David Rosen into a full-time team of five. You can follow their progress and read introductions for the team members over at their development blog.

A release date has not been announced, and other details are scant, but some promising concept pieces are available on the official Overgrowth website. This is definitely one to watch.

2D Boy has announced that World of the Goo, the IGF award-winning physics construction game, has announced that the PC version of the game has gone gold. The Wii version, with delightful co-operative multiplayer, is expected to be submitted to Nintendo for LotCheck later this month. Congrats, Kyle and Ron!

Look for a Fun-Motion preview of World of Goo sometime soon. In the meantime, you can still pre-order the game for $19.95 directly from 2D Boy, which gives you immediate access to the first chapter of the game.
