World of Goo

sicsided

Anyone else play this yet? Downloaded the demo yesterday, haven't touched another game since, and am completely in love with this game. Just far beyond the expectations, even after following it from the Tower of Goo prototype. Never liked bridge building programs, but somehow this has captured all my attention.

Won't even recommend, but urge with all my might to try this game out. http://2dboy.com/ . I believe it is available on Steam also.


(by the way, I'm not any ad bot or anything, just haven't posted any work in the forums. Student right now studying game design, love everyone's work on here and hoping to contribute soon.)

I was really excited to download this on Wiiware on Monday. It looks like the sort of game that I could get my girlfriend to sit down with and have a great time playing.

After loading the service up and not finding it available for purchase I went on the web and found out that it's not being released in Europe until next year... and it's going to be a fully boxed, retail game with a price point of £29.99. Yeah. We have to wait months to play it and pay through the nose for the pleasure.

awesome game, it never repeats and is just plain fun, great ideas from level to level, loved stage 4, that was just great

Yeah, I loved the demo, and I've been following the creator's blog for ages now.
It's on my list of things to treat myself to once I get a job

Yeah I followed the creators mini projects for quite a long time now... bought the game on Steam on Friday and absolutely love it. I can see how some would complain about the length, and am definitely glad I got it for PC instead of Wii; I'd kill myself if I had to grab those little suckers with the shaky Wiimote.

I kept dragging the goo's into the cog wheels to add onto my structure until I noticed that they kept exploding.

The Tumbler is my favorite. I didn't think I could build a structure so fast.

OCD challenges are next

i had the honor of meeting the 2D Boys and playing the full game at TIGjam on a Wii. if you own a Wii, buy this game for it, it's AWESOME! and they have a fun surprise in the game. i think it's safe to say it's been the year of the indie.

One of the greatest bridging puzzle games I've ever laid hands on.

KoryPeople: You went to TIGjam? Nowai!

oh what.
I'll probably drop the 30 for it but still, thats pretty bad. I was also willing to fire up wii ware one night and buy it but apparently not...

Just buy it from Steam. I don't think the Wii motion controls are going to be any great advantage to gameplay and you'll save yourself a pile of cash.

I'll add my reccomendation to the list. It could use about three times as many levels, but aside from the shortness, it's great.

this game is awesome, the style and music is great and the gameplay is simple yet really fun. everyone should definitely try the demo out at the very least.

Michael Knubben

I think this could actually be a bit more fun on the pc. I played the demo with my tablet, and it was great! Although most games (well, fps') freak out with a tablet, this one worked wonderfully.

No, there is the online goo tower building thing though. Other than that, I believe 2D Boy talked about adding in multiplayer for pc later on.

ah, crap. The Wii version is multiplayer? I had no idea. Still, I'm having a lot of fun with the PC version. I couldn't get it working properly with my Cintiq, but I think I'll try again tomorrow.

I'm pleased to see this game doing two of my favorite things from Braid - "undo's" instead of savegames, and the ability to skip a puzzle that's getting you down and keep playing forward in the game. Awesomely designed. And, yes, the music is really impressive.

EarthQuake

This game is the shit.

Really enjoy this one...
Tetris is next...

doc rob

yeah, I played it on the Cintiq at lunch - that is the way to play this game, folks.
