Things start off quite easy, but before long your Goo building skills will be put to the test. Fear not however, there are ‘Time Bugs’ in the later levels which enable you to undo any mistakes you make. The levels have lots of variety and before long you’ll be using balloons to help keep your Goo structures from flopping to the ground and building crazy towers reaching high into the skies.

Graphically the style is probably most similar to Loco Roco on the PSP. It’s bright, colorful and cheery but with a darker Tim Burton style overtone. The music fits nicely with the game, before long you’ll be humming away building Goo towers in a world of your own.

So far what we’ve (vc-review.com) seen is impressive. If indeed World of Goo is released on the WiiWare service we would imagine it will sell like virtual hotcakes. Even if this ends up being a regular disc based Wii game it would still be worth a look. Something this new and original is a rare thing these days!

    Wiggly, jiggly, Goo! ooh Wii~
    I dig the art style, it’s clear and bright like a Loco Roco on console.
    I like building things, and the idea of this reminds me of Sim Towers. I’ll be looking out for this. \:D/
