So, has any of you bought it or had a shot at the demo yet?
Basically it's just a giant physics game, but with a new approach.
Lots of thinking outside of the box, trial and error, and optimising.
And it's addictive too!
Each level, you have control over several balls of goo, and you an drag and drop them much like support points to create lines/pipe things in between them. This way you can build towers, climbing constructions, bridges, and many more strange and cool structures. All in order to overcome many odd or nasty problems to get as many goo as possible into the pipe at the end of each level.
To aid you, there are around 10 diffirent sords of goo, each with slightly diffirent properties, such as being flammable, sticky, or able to connect to larger amounts of other goo blobs.
Then for the perfectionists there are the OCD's (Obsessive Completion Distiction) awards, basically rewards you get when you play a level extremely good.
Lastly, there's also the World of Goo Corporation, any goo you save over the level quota will be stored here, it can quickly amount up to 200 or more balls. It's an endlessly large sandbox in which you can build a tower as high as you can and see how you rank against others.
I suppose I'll provide some links to give you a general idea of the game/demo dowload now then, so here you go:
A basic gameplay movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGfhB16dRH4
A demo dowload: http://files.filefront.com/WorldOfGo.../fileinfo.html
And the site of the creators: http://2dboy.com/
EDIT: If you are wondering how to minimise the game, play in windowed mode using alt+enter (sorry mac users, no help from me on this front).
