A Physics Simulation Game in a World of Goo

World of Goo, a creation from 2D Boy, is a physics-themed action puzzler and construction game which can turn anyone into an addict gamer even those who can’t stand physics at school.
In the world of goo, the players just have to drag and drop living, squirming and talking globs of goo in order to build structures, cannonballs, bridges, zeppelins as well as giant tongues. The funny thing here is that the millions of Goo Balls who are very curious to explore their wonderful World of Goos do not know that they are part of the game.
A series of mysterious levels compose the game. Each level differs from the other and new puzzles, areas and creatures are to be expected. In the World of Goo Balls, the undiscovered new species of Goo Balls who all have unique abilities gather and come up with tales of discovery, beauty, love, conspiracy, electric power and even the third dimension. The World of Goo Corporation is also a part of it. It is the Global leader in the Goo and Goo related products such as World of Goo Corporation Trademark Brand Soft drink beverage and Exfoliating Lotion. Players should also be ready for a Massive Online Competition where Goo players around the globe compete in a leaderboard to build the tallest towers of Goo. Of course, that would be in the World of Goo Corporation’s mysterious sandbox.
For a brief overview of the game, it mainly a physics simulation game with a virtual erector set which is simple, very fun and so addicting. The challenge here lies on the increasing difficulty of stages. It even has an Obsessive Completion Distinction Criteria (OCD) for each game. Here, you can play as hard as you can to meet their standards for time, moves, or goo balls collected.
