World of Goo tower building Challenge

[Colossal Cockhole]

I came across the game "World of Goo" the other day, which is a physics based puzzle solving game, where you construct things to reach your end goal, but real world physics are involved too (so if your tower gets too tall, it'll collapse if you don't have the right support for it)

In the game, there is a minigame that allows you to freeform build towers from the gooballs that you save, which is where the challenge comes; How tall of a structure can you build?

You can find the game here (2dboy.com/games.php) or you can pm/skype me and you can borrow my copy if you like.

To start it off, heres my first go at it:


Now, in order to get more building "blocks" you have to play the game to collect more and more to build higher and higher. I thought that this could be a fun ongoing passive challenge for folk.

I am waiting for it to come out here on the Wii, I am HOPING it's out today.

it's a crazy addicting game, especially the tower building portion, because you want to keep going with it. I'm curious how the controls would work with the Wii. Does the website say when its coming out for it, and do DL games for the Wii have different release dates depending on where you are in the world?

It's already out in the US. I think there are 4 different release schedules, Japan, US, EU, AUS.

We may be the same as Europe though, I'm not sure.

Currently it is the highest rated game on the Wii (beating out Mario Galaxy!) according to Metacritic. Everyone is raving about it, so I guess the Wii controls must work pretty well!

And for some reason Nintendo won't advertise when games are being released to download, you find out on the day.

Fuckit.

We got Alien Crush Returns, Brain Challenge and Space Invaders Get Even.

And we only get a wiiware update every two weeks.

I have it for Pc if you want to borrow it in the meantime.

I'm holding out, thanks though!
