Product Description
The millions of Goo Balls that live in the beautiful World of Goo are curious to explore -- but they don't know that they are in a game, or that they are extremely delicious. Drag and drop living, squirming, talking, globs of goo to build structures, bridges, cannonballs, zeppelins, and giant tongues so that you can direct the Goo Balls to their goal on the other end of the stage.
Massive Online Competition - Human players around the world compete in a living leaderboard to build the tallest towers of goo in World of Goo Corporation's mysterious sandbox

 Engrossing... November 18, 2009
Avid Dad (Burlingame, CA)
I can spend hours figuring out the puzzles. Reminds me of the hours I would spend playing Tetris. Lots of fun trying to see how to solve the new puzzle or build a new structure and making sure it doesn't all fall down. Definitely a classic...
Fantastic Game October 26, 2009
B. Daniels (USA)
This is one of the best games I have played in a while. If you like puzzles and logic games the this is a game for you! I highly recommend it.
A game that has to be played October 18, 2009
John Huynh (Georgia)
I played their demo recently, and though the game's slick graphics, story, art, etc. blew me away, the physics system did throw me off a bit and had me stuck in the first chapter. At the chance to buy the game at a cent, I decided to actually invest time in the game. It is an absolute joy to see yourself figuring out how to beat puzzles that can seem so hard! A very well-designed game.
Fantastic Game! October 11, 2009
S. Brown (Philadelphia PA)
We bought this game for our 7 1/2 year old son. What a fun, intriguing, fantastic game! Really, the graphics are beutiful, the game plays beautifully on a laptop with touch pad, and gosh, I think he might be learning some geometry and physics too (shhh...don't tell him). It's clever, fresh, nonviolent, and promotes problem solving and thinking-out-of-the box. Highly recommend!
 A Fresh Take On The Puzzle Genre October 10, 2009
William Smalley (South Charleston, WV USA)
World of Goo is a puzzle game that brings a unique look and feel to the genre. As with many puzzle games, the story is thin and basically follows the story of the Goo cooperation's rise and fall. The real substance to the game are the puzzles and there is a good deal of verity. Each puzzle consists of the goal of the player having to move a certain number of goo balls from the start point to a tube that collects them, somewhere else in the level. The physics of the goo balls is wonderfully done and feel as if you are actually building with living things that have mass and substance. The flaws of the game consist of the game occasional repeating of puzzle styles and the fact that once you beat the game there is no real replay value, other than attempting to complete each of the 'OCD' achievements in each level. Overall, World of Goo is a wonderfully inventive puzzle game that breathes fresh life into the genre.
