World of goo

Not to long ago I wrote a small entry about how sometimes a game stands out against the rest. These games are not mere imitations or improvements of other games but are genuinly original. Today I came across another such game and it is called “World of goo”. Recently the native Linux version of the game has been released (Mac and Windows was already available).

The idea is that you pick up blobs of goo and position them to create constructions. However it is all goo and flexible. The other blobs of goo will freely move along the trails of the construction. Well it’s hard to explain. Just watch the video below.

Download a working demo of World of goo. I liked it very much but to be honest I think Crayon Physics is a little bit nicer to play.

Here’s a screenshot from the same level as shown in the video.
