Yeah, this game is kinda neat at first with the elastic-y physics but after like 10 minutes it gets pretty boring. Reminds me of those bridge-making games you used to play in tech ed class in middle school. Cubello is still the best game on WiiWare.

played half the demo on the PC before quitting out of boredom.

I'm sure there's a good game there, but there's a good game in other places too.

It gets a lot better after the first chapter. I liked it a lot.

I couldn't even finish the pc demo, felt like a flash game imo.

I downloaded the demo a few weeks ago on steam but never bothered to play it.  This is one of those games that I need ot be exceptionally bored to play, and that's a problem because I already have too many things to keep my attention.

I think it's a great puzzle game and bought it during the holiday sale.

the demo was pretty fun until I got to the later parts and realized that the controls were shit when you needed to manage two types of materials.  All in all, not as bad as I thought it would be, but not as good as others make it seem (potentially)

yeah, nintendo completely ruined all three artstyles games.  Cubello with that annoying voice that has to speak every time you move, the other two with obnoxious repetitive music.

Orbient is awesome, but I do think that the ways they've changed the style of it due to the increased of the Wii over the GBA ruined it a bit.

I loved the bit-gen games, just a shame I won't buy the Wii ware games because of dumb aesthetic stuff.

OK, so I decided to blitz through this game (got it for cheap on amazon, knew I could flip it if it sucked) tonight while waiting for the live starcraft proleague streams to come on from south korea. At the end of chapter 1, still a huge boring pile of overhyped flash game nonsense. we'll see if cajole was right about it getting better.

Chapter 1 is all the same building a huge tower type stuff.
Title: Re: my World of Goo review
Post by: Fragamemnon on February 06, 2009, 10:56:18 PM
and so far chapter 2 is all about being a boring flash game

conventional wisdom annihilated, demi wins again *uninstall, off to ebay*

Maybe if you made some spreadsheets about each level you would've enjoyed it more.

Sorry, you lost. Allow me to shed a single tear on your ashes...

Post by: Fragamemnon on February 07, 2009, 01:27:08 AM
even spreadsheets wouldn't save this. I do admit that there's probably some people out there that would dig the game, perhaps if they never visited kongregate or downloaded the Free Adobe Flash Player.

I beat it yesterday on PC... I enjoyed it thoroughly, I'm not usually all that into puzzle games either.

And yes, I've played free flash games  ::)  This game is overpriced at 20 dollars though, probably.
