World of Goo (WiiWare)

World of Goo

World of Goo is a physics-based computer puzzle game being developed by 2D Boy, an independent game developer company founded by Kyle Gabler and Ron Carmel, both former Electronic Arts employees. It has been nominated for the Seumas McNally grand prize, Design Innovation Award and Technical Excellence from the Independent Games Festival in December 2007.

The game is built around idea of creating large structures using balls of goo. It is based on prototype game Tower of Goo developed for Kyle Gabler's, rapid game prototyping Experimental Gameplay Project. The main objective of the game is to get a requisite number of goo balls to the pipe representing the exit. In order to do so, the player must use their various abilities to build bridges, towers and other structures to overcome terrain difficulties. Each level has its own graphical theme and music, giving it unique atmosphere.

Wow, this looks like a game my sister would like! Don't ask why.
So i'm just wondering, how do you guys know this is Wiiware material?

2. mario221 12 Feb 2008, 15:59 GMT

Looks fun.

3. jg233 14 Feb 2008, 04:49 GMT

Looks cool! I want pretty much every wiiware game so far!

4. Atlantis1982 17 Feb 2008, 09:08 GMT

o.o How about that, another Wii Ware game that looks worthy to buy.

5. uncle smuck 18 Feb 2008, 10:00 GMT

weyhey this looks like brilliant. The Dog's so to speak!

6. Serpent 18 Feb 2008, 18:32 GMT

looks great. graphic design looks alot like loco roco.

7. Elk810 19 Feb 2008, 18:31 GMT

This looks a lot like Patapon for PSP. Isn't that strange.

8. Herandar 20 Feb 2008, 19:35 GMT

Really hoping that gameplay footage was sped up. That's a bit too twitchy for my tastes.

9. The shoemaker 21 Feb 2008, 04:15 GMT

Looks a bit odd. The video didn't show much of what you have to do, but the music is nice

10. Atlantis1982 21 Feb 2008, 07:29 GMT

Shoemaker, I guess the good 'ol "get from point A to point B" thing.

11. Clayfrd 02 Mar 2008, 02:19 GMT

Almost every WiiWare title announced has me excited. This one is included! It has the artistic style of LocoRoco/Patapon, both of which are apparently great! I've played neither unfortunately...

12. Clayfrd 02 Mar 2008, 02:21 GMT

This game looks bold, poineering its own genre.

13. Roo 11 Mar 2008, 19:17 GMT

If they change the name to World of Roo then I'll consider it.

14. jg233 28 Mar 2008, 22:57 GMT

If they change the name to World of Poo then I'll consider it.

15. Clayfrd 30 Mar 2008, 18:39 GMT

I got Patapon, actually. If this game is as great as Patapon, especially in terms of artistic style, this will be worth a download.

16. Lando 31 Mar 2008, 21:56 GMT

This looks like garbage

17. TheLuigiDude 07 Apr 2008, 03:10 GMT

Anyone get the shirt from Target (in the US)? Awesome, I cannot wait for this one to come out since it feels really unique. Though I'm hoping that its better than the demo I recieved, because either I suck (probably this) or it is way hard to build something with those realistic, but hard physics!

18. azariaspice 08 Apr 2008, 06:36 GMT

It looks amusing, but I'd probably lose everytime. Hopefully it's only like 500 points.

19. TheLuigiDude 08 Apr 2008, 22:50 GMT

500 points is a little cheap though it'll really depend on how many levels there are, but I'd pay from 800-1000 points out of what I've seen

20. The shoemaker 03 May 2008, 05:11 GMT

I still don't know what and how to think about this game.

21. Fireballmario 04 May 2008, 22:38 GMT

I take back what I said about this game it looks ok I guess, get if it is cheap, if it is 1000 Wii Points not goona buy it!!!

22. Objection_Blaster 06 May 2008, 01:46 GMT

800 sounds good unless it has a good story mode. Love the style and music, but I need to play it before I can tell if its fun (no duh, but its kinda obscure)

23. samus2008 13 May 2008, 00:28 GMT

this one looks interesting, looks kinda like loco roco, lol

24. KnucklesSonic8 15 May 2008, 15:24 GMT

I am very excited for this. Looks to be a really good puzzler!!

But I heard it was originally announced to be 2000 Points. Did I hear wrong? Has anyone heard any news on pricing for the game? If it's 1000 or less, my mind will be made up to get it!
