World of Goo is a physics-based puzzle video game developed and published by independent game developer 2D Boy. The game was released on Microsoft Windows and Wii on October 13, 2008, with releases on Nintendo Switch, Mac OS X, Linux, and various mobile devices in subsequent years. World of Goo has the player use small balls of goo to create bridges and similar structures over chasms and obstacles to help other goo balls reach a goal point, with the challenge to use as few goo balls as possible to build this structure.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Built an entire empire out of sentient boogers and it kind of slaps harder than most AAA games this year. The physics feel so satisfying you'll be up at 3 am muttering just one more level while your goo tower collapses like my will to live. Soundtrack is unreasonably good for a game about gooey blobs, genuinely core memory unlocked stuff. Only gripe is some levels turn into pixel perfect rage bait where one wrong goo placement yeets your whole creation into the void. Still a certified indie gem that holds up years later. Wwould rebuild my goo empire again in a heartbeat. [b][8.5/10][/b]
Beating the game standardly is quite easy, though I remember it being harder back when I first played it when I was 7. You need to have OCD to beat every level on OCD. Soundtrack is 100x better than World Of Goo 2's.
The game is a sinister slow burn a10 bone chilling masterpiece but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are the ocd challenges so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad
