The game is a billion times easier with a mouse.
WORLD OF GOO BANKRUPT PC
So you’ve got the PC version and the app version. The actual goal of the World of Goo Corporation area is to build as tall a structure as possible, but why do that when you can build anything?
A panel is there to send messages, but if there are no other players, there’s not much use. If you press the button to activate ‘online mode’, you’re supposed to be able to see other players building towers in the background, but I’ve never seen such a thing. This gives you incentive to replay old levels and try and save as many goo blobs as possible. When you hit your target goal in any level, any extra goo you get is sent here, so you can build whatever you want. There’s also the World of Goo Corporation. There are also little white time bugs which will undo your last move, but these are often very limited. If you get stuck, the Sign Painter on every level may try and give you some tips. Once they’re awake, you can drag them anywhere, but you need to drag them through open space – if there’s a wall in the middle of the level, you need to drag around it or you’ll drop your goo. Quite often, there are sleeping goo blobs that you need to wake up by bringing normal goos close to them. There are different colours of goo, but not all of them can be picked up straight away. Of course you’re going to want to make triangular structures because of strength, but you can also just make goos drop around, hang off other goo and stuff like that. The missions start off pretty simple, and there’s a lot of leeway as to what you can do. It’s simple click and drag sort of stuff, all you need is your mouse or your fingers. To complete a level, you need to get the target number of goos to the extraction sucky thing generally located at the top of the level. Obstacle courses are littered around many maps, and you have to avoid killing your goo buddies. Goos will try to connect to other gooey blobs, and structures all (sort of) obey physics, so you’ve got to be careful to not break things or knock your tower down. Using little blobs of goo, you need to construct a, uh, structure, in order to reach the big sucking hose to suck up as many goo as possible. It’s almost as prolific as TESV: Skyrim or the number of copies of Worms Armageddon I own. I have it on Steam, I have it as an app and I have a DRM-free version. In fact, I actually used to have World of Goo installed on my previous smart phone. World of Goo, alongside a bunch of other small games like Fieldrunners and Osmos, was one of my very few Humble Bundle purchases, mostly because the games were DRM free.
I also had no idea where I got it from until I checked my Humble Bundle account. It’s also kinda weird and has hints of a dystopian future controlled by ruthless corporations.
