It's all coming up Goo.
2 years ago I did a series of articles on the Independent Games Festival. It wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I envisioned the series, but I had a good time and found some neat little nuggets of gaming goodness in it.
One of them I found was Tower of Goo, I may even have written about it, but I don't think I did. It may not have even been an entrant into IGF, but instead something I found whiledoing research bouncing around the net mimbly-bimbly. It wasn't a complete game back them, just an exercise in experimental game play, but even then it had a charm about it that I just fell in love with.
Well the guys at 2D Boys have taken the concept, fleshed it out and created a full fledged game out of it. World of Goo is coming out later this year for Wii and PC. Mac and Linux versions will follow later. I've already pre-ordered my PC copy and with it you get a preview beta copy of Chapter 1. I've played through it and I have to say I'm very impressed. The game play is exactly the same with the inclusion of a goal to achieve before advancing to the next level. They've introduced several new Goo types as well as different types of challenges to overcome. I'm really excited for the release of this one.
I wouldn't hold my breath for and XBLA or PlayStation Network version, however, the control scheme just doesn't lend itself well to a gamepad.
