At the start of the game, the goo balls are awakened by pipes appearing and sucking them to a place called The World of Goo Corporation. The story within is complimented by signs posted throughout the levels, written by ‘The Unknown Sign Painter”. It’s a nice inclusion that sets it apart from many other games within the genre.
Interestingly enough, developers 2D Boy weaved a story into this puzzle game, which could still have been a great game without it. Sometimes there isn’t even an obstacle besides gravity itself. Be it gaping chasms, killer spikes, rotating windmills or even fiery… fire, there’s a whole host of things to stop you getting the goo balls into that liquid-filled vacuum chamber. There are a variety of obstacles to get past too. This is where basic bridge and tower building skills come in handy. To navigate the world you use the very same goo balls to build a variety of structures for their kin to travel along. The main goal of the game is to get a set number of goo balls from point A to point B, which is a vacuum pipe leading to sweet, sweet freedom for those weird, gooey things. Bridge builder doesn’t quite do it justice though, as you build more than bridges more like wobbly, living structures. If you haven’t played it before, I’d describe it as a physics-based bridge builder of sorts.
World of goo switch crack#
After having a crack at the Nintendo Switch version I feel a little bad for having done so.
World of Goo is a game I’ve been putting off playing since its initial WiiWare release back in 2008.
