4.3 Closed source Unlicensed 2008-11-22T15:36:47+00:00 World of Goo is an physics-based puzzle game based on Kyle Gabler's 7-day experimental game, Tower of Goo. The basic idea is to build structures using balls of goo, with the goal of getting enough of the goo balls to a specified exit. The game is divided into five chapters, each containing several levels, and follows a storyline involving the mysterious World of Goo corporation. There are also several other game modes, and the Wii version of the game features a 4-player cooperative multiplayer mode. 246 456 true true World of Goo $20 90 2008-10-01 3 world-of-goo 2009-11-10T16:50:20+00:00 548 2008-11-22T15:36:48+00:00 31.4 MB 456 579 false 2 2009-11-21T02:29:29+00:00 http://worldofgoo.com/dl2.php?lk=demo&filename=WorldOfGooDemo.1.20.dmg 873 2008-11-22T15:36:48+00:00 32 MB 456 580 false 1 2009-11-21T02:16:45+00:00 http://worldofgoo.com/dl2.php?lk=demo&filename=WorldOfGooDemo.1.0.exe 2 Custom custom United States 2008-11-22T15:29:07+00:00 2D Boy was founded by Ron Carmel and Kyle Gabler, who both formerly worked at Electronic Arts. 246 456 246 /usr/home/tigsource/db/public/company/image/246/dev-2dboy.jpg 2D Boy 2d-boy 2008-11-22T15:29:07+00:00 In this game you drag blobs of goo around to build structures to reach a goal; it's a physics game similar to Armadillo Run, Fantastic Contraption, and so on. The level design is very intelligent, the game is quite polished. Most of the time these types of games just pick a gimmick and don't really take it wherever it may lead, but this game does, it fully explores the mechanic. It's also a great example of an indie game that got popular enough to break into the mainstream, among indie games currently (as of 2009) World of Goo, Braid, and Cave Story are probably the most recognizable to the average gamer. My main problem with this game (though I'm still rating it 4/5 stars so it's not a big deal) is that it's *just* a great game. It's just a fully explored gameplay mechanic. There's no real story, atmosphere, or anything "more" -- it's an entertaining way to spend some time, and that's it. So as long as you treat it like that, it's great, virtually perfect. But if you're expecting it to change your thought process or make you feel anything deeply, there are better games for that. Because I'm one who does look for that sort of thing in games I can't give it a perfect rating, but it's great for what it is. 2009-02-23T01:02:25+00:00 0 456 349 67.83.42.33 4
