Some info about the company on wikipedia:

Quote : World of Goo was imagined by two ex-Electronic Arts developers, Kyle Gabler and Ron Carmel. Their game studio, 2D Boy, was essentially based out of whatever Wi-Fi enabled coffee shop they could find. The developers estimate spending about $10,000 of their personal savings to develop World of Goo which includes rent, food, and minimal equipment. In a post on 2D Boy's blog, the game's developer estimated that due to piracy, only one out of every ten copies of the PC version of World of Goo had been legitimately purchased.

System requirements:

Quote : The game is currently available on WiiWare and for Windows (XP/Vista) and Mac. To play it on Windows, you basically need a PC that's 5 years old or newer (1GHz or faster CPU, 512MB of RAM, 100MB of disk space, a 3D graphics card, DirectX 9.0c). On Mac, you need OSX 10.4 or later, with either Intel cpu or PPC G4 or better.
