![]() ![]() There is one level which is a hexagonal tumbler forcing you to build a structure that can be rolled over on it’s side or upside down and still work. You learn how to support them with helium balloons to make even longer, wobblier bridges. You learn how to wedge your structures between walls. Then you graduate to building bridges over wide gaps of terrain. You start with simple stuff such as building towers. For example, no two stages in Chapter 1 are alike. But the game constantly throws in new twists into the gameplay. It is a blast just to sit there playing with the physics of connecting the balls and keeping these structures from keeling over. That could be a whole game in itself and it would probably keep you amused for hours. What is the object of this game? You build wobbly structures by connecting silly looking balls of goo to get to a hard to reach target. If I knew there was a Steam version I would never bother with the FilePlanet shit. Either that or just get the Demo via Steam. I highly recommend checking it out, but you will probably want to avoid FilePlanet and use one of the alternate download locations. Well, that and get the full game cause I like totally used up the demo in that time. ![]() I launched the game and… Well, needless to say, next thing I knew was that it was 3AM in the morning and I needed to stop messing around with the goo-bals and go to sleep. I just opened the window and went to make myself some dinner. World of Goo Wait time was over 40 minutes for me. I downloaded stuff from FilePlanet before (Morrowind mods mostly) and I never had to wait in a queue. Which, actually says something about the game. I grabbed it from FilePlanet but in retrospect it was terrible, terrible idea due to the long queues. So I went and downloaded the demo which is actually the whole Chapter 1 (out of 4) of the game. I read about it on his page, watched the video, read a review someone linked in comments and was intrigued. I totally blame Shamus for bringing it to my attention. It is a terribly, terribly addictive puzzle game that will suck you in for hours. I don’t usually go for the casual games but I’m making an exception for World of Gooo.
