Welcome to the second installment of my touchscreen friendly game series (see the first game we highlighted here). Tonight I want to share with you a unique game called World of Goo which is available on PC, Mac OSX, and Nintendo Wii (there is also a Linux beta). Before the game was released it won several awards including the Design Innovation Award and Technical Excellence at the Independent Games Festival. The basis of the game involves creating structures, out of animated balls of goo, to reach the goal. The game is based on a convincing physics system so make sure that you goo structures don’t topple over! The game is $20 for PC, but there is a demo version (linked below) available with several levels that you can test before you buy. I shot a short video showing the gameplay and how it works with the touchscreen:
Again, this game was not designed for touchscreen input, but as you can see in the video, it works with it quite admirably. Here is a link to the World of Goo website if you would like additional information about the game or you are interested in purchasing the full version. Below I have linked to the demo version of World of Goo for PC (there is a Mac demo available, but unless you have a Modbook, you probably don’t have a touchscreen Mac!):
Let me know what you think in the comments.
