Daily Tidbit #8: Get “World of Goo”
Now until October 25th, World of Goo is available for pay-what-you-want! And it’s totally worth it (whatever you want, that is).
This is probably the most epic game I’ve played in awhile. Arguably, it’s all about goo – but that doesn’t make it feel any less heroic (don’t judge me)! What you do is you overcome challenges and puzzles with your goo-buddies and traverse time and space in an epic adventure full of… well, goo. The puzzles themselves are not exactly super easy, but it’s easy enough to figure out after a couple tries, and yet not too hard that you get stuck and frustrated like other similar puzzle-type games. Oh, and did I mention the music? And how cool it’s swanky 2D-ness looks?
It’s just unbelievably impressive that a core-team of about 4 people (with various other thanks) made this game. It’s really polished and the cheeky sense-of-humor of these so-called “indie revolutionaries” of the gaming industry really shines through all the goo.
Get it. Now.
