Surely the biggest news of The Game Awards
Look at all those fluids slopping about, your tar and lava and all that. Lovely stuff. I do notice one goo blog seems to let you alter the terrain, too. Solid details on the sequel are thin for now but what’s known is onits website. And it confirms that yup, this is 2D Boy and Tomorrow Corporation reunited, “along with a squad of talented friends”.
World Of Goo remains a delight. It’s a simple building puzzle game concept: drag a limited supply of goo blobs around to form structures to reach a goal. But goo is gooey, and sags and flops and bounces. Then you add in new types of goo with different properties, perhaps buoyant or flammable, and it can all get mighty complicated. Wrap that up in beautiful art, charming music, and a story of bittersweet adventure, and oh how wonderful! So yeah, we said it was our favourite game of 2008, but it’s still great today. Our Ollierevisited World Of Goolast year said and declared it “still offers more fun than nearly any puzzle game since.” More goo, too.
“We hope you will love it as much as we’ve loved building and discovering this new world so far!” the devs say of the sequel. Me too, Sign Painter. Me too.
