When I was a child, I had this game on the Wii, and loved it, but could never make it past chapter 4. It turns out child me had the right idea tapping out when he did.

Don't believe anyone who tells you having OCD can't be fun. This game is old but gold. I played it back in 2009 before the tongue-in-cheek trend was common in games, and this game is a refreshing throwback. You can tell it was made by someone as a passion project and not something that was expected to make a whole lot of money. If you're a fan of World of Goo 2 then you'll love the original. The goo balls bunching up can be a little irksome at times but overall the gameplay is very fun and the world and design is very charming and whimsical with a good balance of humor and worldbuilding. 7/10

This is THE childhood game for me and my brother. It's short, fun, and for some reason, incredibly atmospheric, with a melancholic soundtrack which was forever burned into my memory. It means a lot to play it again after 14 years.

World of Goo is a puzzle game where you build strange, wobbly structures out of goo balls that stick together. Your goal is simple: connect the goo balls and get them to a pipe. As you progress, the game becomes more creative and challenging, with new types of goo and clever level design. There’s also a bit of story in the background, mostly told through signs left by a character called the Sign Painter, who adds a bit of mystery and humour along the way. Pros: - satisfying gameplay - connecting goo balls and watching your structure grow is pure fun… at least until the wind, spikes, or some other deadly danger tears it apart - creative level design - one minute you’re building a bridge or a tower, the next you’re destroying massive goo beauties just to cram them into the tiny pipe - many types of goo - some stick, some fly, some salivate, some are too big to fit in the pipe - they each add something new to the game - fun goo sounds - their little "wees" and squeaks are somehow very satisfying - the Sign Painter adds character - their witty messages are sometimes funny or just odd enough to make you curious - nice storytelling - it’s simple but engaging, and keeps you interested about what’s going on - great music - the soundtrack really sets the mood and makes the game feel more special - nostalgic and classic - it’s one of those games that sticks with you (pun intended) over the years - GOOd memories - I used to play it on my phone late at night under the covers as a child, and it still reminds me of that time – back when phones were half their size and my spine didn’t make that weird crack when I stood up Cons: - the visuals haven’t aged well - the graphics look old now and they can be a bit rough on the eyes If you’re looking for a puzzle game that’s both challenging and oddly relaxing, World of Goo is definitely worth a try - it’s a classic for a reason! Sure, the graphics might not have aged perfectly, but the game’s charm more than makes up for it. If you’re ready to dive into a bizarre world full of goo balls, give this game a go. I promise you’ll have a GOOd time! Check out and follow my curator page [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45180175/] [PROS & CONS] for more reviews and recommendations from me!

I'm surprised EA never bought and destroyed this game with in app purchases pay to win and ads.
