World of goo

WORLD OF GOO

Wondering what it is?
comics???
cartoon???

Ya a sort of ...

blending of cartoon and comics....

But it is a game...

small one but interesting

it was during the exam time that i started playing it
when tension builds up in mind of the exam, this gave strength and found playing this relieving mind

but later on dint get time to continue playing
and during this christmas i finished playing it

Its all about goo balls and its world

In my opinion the creater might have intended of making the players aware of the ways in which we pollute
our world and what has to be done
Game itself starts with a quote "Make me dirty now"
The itself is well laid giving hints in each stage (which is too hard to decode).
The player has to understand these hints-given in the 'sign painter' as it is called.
Skills like logic and creativity of the player is often tested during the course of the game.He has to put the mechanical laws that he has studied for completing certain stages.

As the game progresses it passes through all the strategies of the evolution of world
The building up of industries which no one knows and only is revealed when finishing the levels
the first era was that of the ancient days in which the pollution was less and in the game,basic methods of polluting
More credit goes to making extra polluting goo balls
As the game progresses the extra collected balls gets accumulated in the coorporation which later serve for building up the establishment
where we take advantage of the world getting polluted and our industry flourishes
It has four chapters of varying difficulty
Introduction of more and more and new polluting agents and substances in each part of the chapters
Then in the fourth chapter its the new digital world, and the pollution too is digital in nature


The game ends with the hope that one day man might realise about the aftereffects of his life style
in which he neither bothers about the world and others who are living with him.All his actions causing harm to the nature
It is simulated in the game
In the last section after the four chapters which mainly is the domination of world of goo
it is the end of the world of goo
Every factor causing pollution recycled and the world of goo coorporation destroyed.

Then there is this telescope which probe the sky looking for that light which makes the world a new place where man lives with care for the world.
Bringing light and hope to the earth by destroying the last bit of the impurities and wiping the world clean

This is what i felt after playing the game.The designer has done a great job. This game is worth playing. It is rated 9.5.
