World of Goo

A Puzzle game by 2D Boy, released in 2008

87/100🔴Niche / Inactive🏆Proton PlatinumLinuxWiiWindows Phone

World of Goo is a multiple award winning physics based puzzle / construction game made entirely by two guys. Drag and drop living, squirming, talking, globs of goo to build structures, bridges, cannonballs, zeppelins, and giant tongues. The millions of Goo Balls that live in the beautiful World of Goo are curious to explore - but they don't know that they are in a game, or that they are extremely delicious. Congratulations, and good luck!
