World of Goo

Unread postby Veldrynus » 14 Dec 2008, 11:50

The best game I've played in the last years: simple, smart, entertaining, full of charm, and above all, unlike the vast majority of modern games, it has a soul. You can feel that the creators really CARED about this piece. It's almost perfect, even the music is fantastic. The only drawback is its relatively short gameplay (10-15 hours), however you can spend a lots of additional hours trying to build the highest tower of goo in the world.


Get the game here:

I'm just trying to see how long the demo is. I'm in Fisty's Bog right now, trying to keep the balloons in one piece.

Handle=callsign=username=...

I played the demo a few days ago. This is the type of game that is screaming for a level editor (either official or unofficial). Is there one?

Well they say you should exit very fast once you get to max height so it records it...

Tried it, didn't think much of it.

Now a game I'm really looking forward to is Braid for the PC.

World of Goo celebrates its B-day and anyone who doesn't own it yet can buy it from 2D BOY website for any price you wish to pay, until the 19th October.

BTW: the site collapses all the time, so you need a bit luck and/or patience to get there.
