My kids can't play the game...all of my records are too high, and they get frustrated.

I created new Windows user accounts, but my personal game save appears in them too.

I uninstalled & reinstalled the game. That didn't work either.

Heeelp!

Search your computer for a file called "pers.dat" and delete it or rename it. In the final game, we will have a proper profile system so multiple people can play.

how old are your kids?  my 7 year old wanted to play & I e-mailed to figure out how to reset the scores.

by the time I got home from work that night my 7 year old said "hey dad, that game's pretty cool.  I just can't beat the frog level".  :D

Thanks for the reply :)

My girls are 11 and 12. They thought the game was great, but couldn't come close to my personal scores, so they felt discouraged.

This will make them very happy.

Thanks!

then I must of done pretty bad.  :)  After I erased the scores I am going through again.  On my first play through the game I got an additional 20 goos for the world of goo.  :D

You can activate as many times as you like! Just don't upload to bit torrent or anything :)

Oh that's fine :) And don't worry, I will not upload game anywhere...

Well what if you show them how to not suck.tristen77806/21/2008 - 19:32

Well if they didn't suck you wouldn't need to lose your spare goballs in WOG Corp. But I play only so I just try to beat my record but if you must lose so many poor poor gooballs then you need to delete the data. So sad :'(
