Kids of all ages love to build structures, whether it is with Tinkertoys, Legos, Erector sets, or jellybeans and toothpicks. World of Goo, a puzzle game for the computer and the Nintendo Wii, delivers one of the coolest sets of building tools: balls of squirming goo. By combining these globs of stickiness together to form structures, you solve the 48 puzzles that make up this game.
In each puzzle, you are presented with wriggling goo balls and an exit drainpipe that is far away. Your objective is to combine some of the goo balls into a structure that will span the terrain to enable the remaining goo to travel over the structure to reach the pipe. As the puzzles get harder, building around or over goo-destroying obstacles including hills, cliffs, chasms, pits of doom, goo-popping machinery and spikes, is the norm. Combining the goo balls is as simple as clicking on one and dragging it close to another
