World of Goo

By John Walker on September 12th, 2007 at 6:18 pm.

(Via Fun-Motion) San Fran indie developers 2D Boy have posted a trailer for their forthcoming World of Goo. Here’s my impression of it:

I absolutely haven’t got the faintest idea what’s going on here, yet I know that it is good. It’s one of those occasions when I’d far rather be utterly mistified, than find out the reality of the situation, no matter how excellent it might be. Like watching Spanish soap operas, or The Bloomberg Channel.

(So no, I never played Tower of Goo, which you can get here.) [You really should play it, John, it's brilliant - Rest Of RPS Team.]

    Looks like the further developments of Tower of Goo from those experimental gameplay people, cool!

    Looks like Bridge Builder, only with more interactive levels.

    And goo.
