World of Goo - Indie Game with Great Reviews?

(1/7) > >>

mouser:
This new game immediately reminded me of this long popular thread on DC forum about the free flash game "Fantastic Contraption".

But it looks quite a bit more involving in terms of storyline, humour, graphics.  Looks pretty impressive and the reviews are positively glowing.  Cheap and nice that it's a real indie developed game.

Anyone tried it yet?

"I myself gasped at a few points at the sheer brilliance of what I saw in front of my eyes. Words cannot describe how good this game is."

I pre-paid for it a couple of months ago I was that impressed. Mostly finished the full version by now and not the slightest bit disappointed. It's amazing how even late into the game it's still introducing new concepts and almost reinventing itself.

I highly recommend it :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

I've played it a bit and I'm considering throwing money after the full version - it's pretty funny, even if it can be somewhat frustrating sometimes. Unfortunately, it seems that it's not available for european STEAM users until next year, so they probably won't get my money after all - I hate regional locks and artifical release delays.

Bought it it yesterday and I am VERY pleased by the difficultly, the physics and the presenetion.

It is REALLY hard. It has 50 levels but it gets HARD after the first 10, however, it is the FUN kind of hard. You have to think, to tinker and to try different options. That's what's great about physics games.

It is essentially the strangest combo between "Bridge Builder" and "Gish". It is funny, slick, with pretty graphics and great sound but in the end, you essentially build structures with different materials.

It is not a game for everyone, but just the kind I'd suggest for anyone to try because you just might love it.

All in all, it is an awesome game and well worth the 20$.

I bought it to support the cause -- i can't say i love it but i didn't really enjoy playing Fantatsic Contraption either.  I definitely do appreciate the polish and love that went into the game though.  And i think if you enjoyed Fantastic Contraption flash game you will probably like this a lot.
