World of Goo

[EverBlue]

This game is so damn fun.
It was released on PC a few days ago and is available to purchase from a few sites (including d2d and Steam).

There's a demo available if you wanna check it out before purchasing. The developers are two ex-employees from EA, and they made an indie company. They released World of Goo without any DRM, so hopefully not a lot of people abuse it. The game is only $20. It's the top seller on Steam, atm.


Now, onto gameplay. It's pretty much a cute little puzzle/physics game, where you use these little goo-balls to make bridges, towers, etc to cross terrain, whether it's hills, to gaps.. Well, you get the idea. There's a silly little storyline to go with it. The art style is amazing. And the soundtrack is PERFECT. It's kind of like... Dr Suess meets Tim Burton meets Danny Elfman.
Here's a video.

And there's a mode in-game which allows you to build a tower up as high as you can, competing with other players (their towers appear as "clouds" in the sky to you, letting you know their height and how many goo balls are used)

The game is currently out for PC and Wii, they're making a Mac version. Check this game out, it's fantastic.
