I cannot wait to get this game, it looks so unique (Like Locoroco unique) that I probably can't help but like it!

Oh wow, I just realized that tomorrow is Columbus Day which in turn means that for once I will be home for the launch of a WiiWare game that I want! Woohoo, World of Goo all day!

For people who needs Wii points today and tomorrow all Wii accessories with an exception to Wii remote and Nunchuk are 40% off at Toys R Us so Wii point cards should be 11.99.

I haven't seen a price yet for the WiiWare version. It's going to be $19.99 on Steam, so a betting man would guess 2,000 Wii Points.

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #36 on:** October 12, 2008, 02:38:56 PM »

I think the confirmed price was 1,500 Wii points.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #37 on:** October 12, 2008, 06:27:42 PM »

Yes it is Flames.

HOLY HELL THIS GAME IS GOOD

It's a bit like Lemmings, in that the point is to get from point A to point B as efficiently as possible. The physics generally works like you'd expect, but there have been a couple times where my structure couldn't support itself even though I was sure it would hold. Everything's kind of "floaty", meaning your structure won't crumble very fast. You'll see it wobble for a few seconds, giving you ample time to add a support or two. Even then, I find myself not being able to react quick enough to save my tower or bridge. Thankfully, there are many do-overs that let you go back one more (so far I'd say each level has between 5 and 10 of them).

This is a wonderful game. The art style is charming, the concept is unique, and it's generally fun to play.

I think they should go die in a ditch for trying to sell a Wiiware game at full retail price here.

Did they give any particular reason why they went with a disc as opposed to Wii Ware?

They ran out of money and submitted themselves to a publisher which then insisted on a retail release.

I really like how each level has two benchmarks. You need to save a certain minimum of goo balls in order to clear the stage. In addition, each level has a second--generally much higher--target. If you save an insanely large number of goo balls you'll be certified OCD.

I got stuck on a level in world 2 last night that took me 25 minutes to beat. In the end, I prevailed (take that!!) and beat it with an OCD ranking.

All the "extra" goo balls you save from each level get sent to a centralized stage where the goal is simply to build the highest tower possible. The game pulls towers from other players (not sure if there's any rhyme or reason to this) so you can compare the height of your tower to that of everyone else's. So far I have about 80 goo balls in my tower and it's 15 meters high.

GO BUY THIS GAME NOW!!

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #48 on:** October 17, 2008, 11:51:12 AM »

Yes do what Nile says NOW. My review is in editing right now, so look for it soon.

Also, I found these wallpapers in the 2DBoy forums. Some snazzy ones in there that I intend on using on my home computer.
