World of Goo

In the World of Goo, tiny goo balls are looking for a safe passage through—and it’s up to budding physicists to make it happen!

This science-centered puzzle game features a slimy landscape, full of dangers for the poor sludge balls looking for safe passage to oil-slick pipes. Sound easy? Passage for the goo balls requires that players pay attention; build bridges or towers that are too narrow and the constructions will collapse. The overall game is structured like a book with four "chapters" that feature different scenes and scenarios, keeping kids interested in continued gameplay. Compelling mini-plotlines feature fascinating villains like the evil Goop Corporation.

This complex and captivating brain game’s addictive gameplay ensures kids have fun while gaining a basic grasp of physics.
