It’s been a long time since I last played this on the Wii. I blame not having another machine with a suitable input device, as it only really works with touch screens and pointers, not control sticks. Yes, I know I could have managed on the Switch or even on the Mac, but anyway. Trackpad on the Steam Deck it is. I’d totally forgotten about most of the “story”, and have no recollection of the Information Superhighway “world” at all. …
It took about 5 or 6 hours in total, but I’ve completed World of Goo. And what a lovely game it was too – clever, original, fun and funny. The levels were varied, some were incredibly difficult, and the “narration” by the mysterious sign painter was often hilarious. And it was weird. Really weird. Especially the bit in the Information Superhighway.
Bought this today, as it looked fun and I had a big pile of points on my Wii. And it is fun. And great. And amazing. Who knew sticking balls together would be so good? It isn’t just the levels which are fun (and amazingly varied, considering the premise of the game) either – there’s a sort of toy bit, where you can use all your superfluous “goo balls” to build a giant tower. And see how tall a tower …
