I had to move S&P to make room today. Yesterday I had to move Strongbad to make room for friggin Bomberman Blast. This is getting out of hand.

Would it really? If this were a PS3/360 vs Wii thing It would be no contest, but PC controls I would say are interchangeable with Wii controls for a game like this.
I'm buying the Wii version to play it on a 42" screen as opposed to my 19" LCD.

I've spent time playing it on both (beat it on PC a few days ago, played through several stages on the Wii today). While they executed the Wii controls to their maximum potential, I still think it falls slightly behind the precision of the mouse. It is quite close though, the controls are very smooth with the remote. There are only a few instances where this might be important in the game though.
Wii
+co-op
+price
+typical console advantages (TV, couch)
PC
+typical PC advantages (mouse, sitting close to the screen)
+Play on PC, Mac, or Linux with one purchase (go through 2dboy.com for this, not sure if it works with the steam purchase... you can activate on steam afterwards)
*edit: I've read this several times, but why do people keep saying pc has a level editor? I do not believe this is true. I'd love to be proven wrong, but don't mention this as a benefit if you aren't sure.

Thank you whoever posted how to do change the resolution, its looking great at 1440x900! I got it working on my Steam version doing only what the other guy said to do (change the config file)--maybe you forgot to save it before exiting that file or something?Easy_D said:

Does anyone know the right number for the UI value in the config file if you change the res to 1680 by 1050? The UI is off the screen for me at the default 10.

Man, this looks amazing at 1920x1200. But now I think I beat the first level and I'm stuck?
I think I'm missing the UI at the bottom or something. :lol

Yeah same problem I have. Just need to try a different value in the config file. I don't know what it is though.CajoleJuice said:
So at this point, I have to agree with Bit-Tech's score of 8. (http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2008/10/12/world-of-goo/1) The game is great fun, the graphics are great, and so is the music. But it's not 9.5 worthy imo. Still, it's fun.

Nevermind, it doesn't appear that was the problem. I just played at the default 800x600 resolution and I got a lever labeled "continue" that came down. That didn't happen when I had it at 1920x1200. Granted, I only got 7 gooballs the two times I tried at 1920x1200, and got 9 when I played at 800x600, but the goal was 4. That shouldn't matter. What the hellJPBrowncoat said:

If you play it for a second time, the goal will be to break your last score. That's probably the case.
So, I changed the config.txt to 1280x1024, but the game still runs in 800x600, I googled for some answers but there are none.
Who do I call? The ghostbusters or the Elite Beat Agents?
Or am I just a dumbass junior who cant even find the right settings file?
I want to see the game shine
Downloaded on Steam and on Vista, if that helps.

But I wasn't even signed on to a profile. And the lever didn't come down the first time I played. I'm going to try again.Antagon said:

As I mentioned a few posts above (cough cough), I Steam'd it (and I'm running Vista) and all I did was change the config file like that guy said and like what you claim to have done. Replace the '800' with '1280', the '600' with '1024' and don't forget to save before you exit out. Boot up the game and it should work. The file you're changing stuff on does have that little 'you computer may blow up' warning joke thingy right? Otherwise you're in the wrong place.Easy_D said:So, I changed the config.txt to 1280x1024, but the game still runs in 800x600, I googled for some answers but there are none.

argh, it won't allow me to beat levels at 1920x1200 what the fuckkkkkk
hmm, it looks like it's cutting off the side of the screen or something
tried playing at 1680x1050...it looks like the lever is appearing near the bottom of the screen, so where you click "continue" is off the screen.

yeah, it's not changing for me either. when you said the UI before, I thought you meant "0 out of 4 goos"alex1893 said:
Sorry, it seems I'm too eager to play more to pay enough attention :lol.MaritalWheat said:
And yes, it does say the "Computer blow up" part. I managed to get some sort of result though by making the WorldofGoo.exe run in admin mode. It crashes, however.
It'd be much simpler if they could have put options in the game, but they must have left them out for a purpose, I guess.

Try running Steam as administrator. Vista does this file-virtualization thing where it doesn't let non-admin processes modify files in Program Files and instead makes a virtual copy in AppData/Local/VirtualStore under your user directory. Or check for a copy of the file there and try modifying that one.

It's definitely changing the config file, Bob. It just breaks that one little thing...that just so happens to be very important.

Man, this game is sooooo awesome! I just can't get over the music. Best music in a game since I don't know when, just phenomenal. I just completed Chapter 1 and it was tough but forgiving. I dread what's in the store, though, since some of Ch. 1 was hard. I struggled on Ivory Towers, but passed Tower of Goo on the first try.
The end level of Ch. 1 had me grinning and going "OMG!", two things I haven't done during a game in a while. This game is special, no doubt.
