Seuss book mixed with a few gallons of jam pectin. The game is stylistically gorgeous, with Hollywood-quality animations and graphics that are reminiscent of a Dr. (That's right, it's even officially rated "E for Everyone" by the ESRB!) 2D Boy has pulled out all the stops to create a game that's not only fun and innovative, but also humorous, addicting, and fun for the whole family. But is there another purpose behind the building of this tower?Īnalysis: Honestly, there aren't many bad things to say about this game at all. You can even compare the height of your tower with other players around the world. Here you are allowed to freely build with the gooballs, trying to make as tall of a tower as you can. If you happen to get more than the minimum number of gooballs extracted from a level, those extra gooballs get taken to the World of Goo Corporation. The most frequent of these is spikes, which can instantly pop your gooballs and destroy your perfectly good triangles. It is possible to get the requisite number of gooballs to the pipe, but not before encountering some nasty obstacles first. Some can cling to more than two other points at one time, some catch on fire if they get too close to flames, and some dangle from the structure like water drops. There are several types of gooballs to be played with, each with its own unique characteristics. Once your structure is close enough to the pipe the suction will turn on and any of the gooballs creeping around on the frame of your building will be sucked through the pipe. The resulting structure is affected by surprisingly realistic physics, so things like gravity and friction come into play quite often. To do this you build a slimy structure by grabbing one of the goo guys and dragging it to the others and forming a connection. The objective of (most) levels in this game is to collect a certain number of gooballs in the suction pipe at the end of the level. To say the least, this might be the most beautiful mess you'll ever play with in your life. Anyone not buying it right now is making an idiotic mistake.After months of anticipation, 2D Boy proudly presents World of Goo, a whimsical game of building, demolition, and gelatinous creatures.
#WORLD OF GOO OCD FULL#
Despite these minor niggles, World of Goo is a game of such independent and charismatic flavour, it hits you full force with the excitement of how games used to feel. It could be said that it's a little short, unless you're chasing completion - and sometimes, when you're dealing with multiple kinds of goo, it can be difficult to get the cursor to land on the one you want. If you insist in chasing all of these objectives, I bid you adieu - you are on the hardcore road to cultivating a variety of new and exciting mental illnesses.
However, if you want to stretch yourself, every level has an OCD completion criterion. Levels that seem impossible are in too small an area for the solution to not become apparent. Goo doesn't get too hard - it is a game that wants you to enjoy playing it. We haven't included screenshots from the final levels, because it should be a surprise. But it's 2D Boy's ability to keep a fundamentally simple idea fresh and exciting over five worlds that makes this a game worth frothing over. The beautiful design of the worlds, the brilliant tactility of the goo-play, the funny and sub-real anti-corporate storyline, and the Danny Elfman-esque music are immersive and charming enough to make you fall in love with the game.
All of these work together in a clever way to get you to that pipe. There are also massive lady goos that you have to crush into tiny lady goo. Each goo has its own abilities -some are gooier, some form more connections, others are sticky, and some types can be reused. Position a ball within the range of an existing structure, and it'll bouncily connect and extend that structure. In World of Goo - which, for the sake of not upsetting anyone, we'll abbreviate to Goo - you have to get the balls of sticky tar into a pipe. It has a simplicity and effortlessness so profound that it's obvious that you're being protected from the complexity and effort inflicted on the poor developers. So let's get this out of the way - World of Goo is fantastic. To Fit This review onto a page, I'm going to have to stifle the natural inclination to gush.
