This was my favorite game of 2008, if you've slept on it for whatever reason. STOP! Grab your wallet and download this shit posthaste.

I just finished this today, awesome game! Epic music, pleasant graphics and kick-ass gameplay. I finished it in three days since I just felt compelled to keep playing. Kind of short, but that's ok even though I wanted more :) My tower is only 18 m I think :(

Wastes hours checking old Famitsu software data, but that's why we love him.
Just downloaded it (thanks Nintend for the whole memory thing!), and wow, I absolutely love it. Great game to play with the missus.

Runs still in 800x600. :(
And I don't see any line for setting the sound volume.

I own World of Goo on both Wii and Mac now, and it just struck me - this game needs to be on the DS. The stylus control would work perfectly for the game. Why haven't the developers ported it to DS? I would seriously buy the game a third time for a DS version.

Mmmmmaybe on the DSi with its more powerful hardware, but it'd still be quite a bit of work. Don't see it happening though, it's not cost effective IMHO. I do agree though, touchscreen controls are perfect for this game.

I bought this game when they had their pay what you want deal. I paid an extremely embarrassingly amount of money for it, but since I didn't like it and barely played it I guess it was a fair price.

I didn't like the controls - it's like it was meant to be a ii game or something.

How the hell do you improve point and click?

I didn't say they could he improved. I just didn't like them. I I recall, I hated he way it scrolled. Kind of a minor point really. It seemed it would play better with wii controls rather than a mouse. Maybe the boundng box was more suited to a wii interface.

Anyway, the game itself wasn't that compelling.

BAH! I think you're right... Guess I could just fire up the Wii for some GOOdness.

This game is beautiful in its simplicity. It doesn't hurt that it's visually and aurally stunning as well.

I just completed chapter 1, and am excited to see what the rest of the game brings.

No way. It plays MUCH better with a mouse. It's easier to keep a mouse pointer steady than the Wiimote.

This was my first Steam purchase.

I was dismayed to see the game (Mac version, btw) running in 4:3 when I launched it, with seemingly no way to change the resolution.

After a little tinkering, I found out I had to download another program, GooTool, in order to change the resolution.

Then it didn't recognize the Steam version of the game. So, after a some research on Google, I found a workaround, adjusted the format to 16:10 and upped the res to my Macbook Pro's native resolution of 1900x1200.

This is a lot of work to perform what should be a simple function.

Why the hell does this game run in 4:3 mode as a default aspect ratio?

Because it was originally released as a WiiWare title. I also believe the port was made by a one-man team, which might explain why it's bare bones.

It was actually originally a PC title. 2D Boy had to hire on a programmer to port it to the Wii. The Wii version runs in 16:9 just fine, I don't know what the deal is with the PC/Mac version.

Well, in the Windows version at least, it has a config file which you can edit the resolution easily and it even has a cool easter egg =)
