World of Goo - more than a game...an addiction

Sign in to disble this ad
Is anyone else addicted to this game? My kids got a Wii for Christmas and following the advice of a good friend I downloaded this game. My poor kids have played the Wii about half as much as I have.

Reminds me of the days when my family first bought a Nintendo and we were up all night playing Super Mario Bros.

Not sure on that game, but I do have a couple games on my PC that I downloaded years ago called "Dr. Goo" and "Dr. Goo II, The Plague".

Hmmm...I'm not sure I've heard of those. This is a "physics simulation" game, as they describe it.

Pretty simple but man, it's addicting.

Look what I made!!!

Took me an hour and a half.


I wonder why I don't have the patience or creativity to write music.

dinghy, you have a disturbing talent for this game. I feel like I've cheated just by watching your designs. Clever!

I've been really curious about World of Goo - but having spent as much time as I have on FC and knowing that the two are similar, I don't know if I have enough free time left in the day for such endeavors...

Thanks for the compliments, I actually spent so much time on that game that I began dreaming how to beat levels. I know that's how I got #3...
