Back when I was younger (and poorer), I indeed pirated this game, and completed the main story. But it wasn't long until I bought it. Always support what you love!
You forgot to mention that the game makes a brief appearance in the first trailer of the latest Predator movie. It took me by complete surprise when I saw it. We may never get the sequel everyone wants, but hey, World of Goo is a perfect game, anyway, and with fan-made level and goo editors out there, it still has a lot of replay value, a decade later.
There really is some kind of world lore between Kyle Gabler's games. World of Goo, Little Inferno, and Human Resource Machine, and 7 Billion Humans are all set in different periods in time in the same world as it decays due to the corporations that inhabit it.
I absolutely love World of Goo, I remember buying and playing this game during my lunch breaks. They did a fantastic job and it was one of the few games I actually finished to the end and still wanted to play it.
Love world of Goo! such a simple game but so relaxing especially when you want something casual to play with excellent audio. Proof to devs that all you need is a good idea and the game will sell itself!
And the Humble part of the history? Although it wasn't a new idea, during its first aniversary it was implemented the pay-what-you-want price and that was one of the inspiration to Wolfire Game for Humble Bundle. And then the first HB featured ...(drumroll)... World of Goo. That was the way I got my copy. It's hard to me to explain the excitement about indie games of that era and World of Goo was part of it. It was part of the movement that created DRM-free, multi plataform games, and also the "bundle" market. World of Goo was one of those independent games that was took very serious for the community in general and part of the indie-vogue. You don't needed anymore to look into Reflexive Arcade's catalog searching for something good to play, nor read a recommendation on a blog about the only game from develper you never heard before. World of Goo (and others) was an influential game for the game market.
One of the first games that introduced me to the indie world of gaming!, loved that title back on Wii, even I bought the Android version almost inmediately when I got my first smartphone. Only sad thing (for me) is that I always wanted a PS3 version so I could play it with the PS Move but it didn't happen..., but anyway.
I do wish you had talked about the Android and iOS versions a bit more. I think some people didn't know that it was released on consoles as well as mobile app stores. For many, it was a just mobile game and a very good one at that.
I remember I first played it on a library computer. It was the kind of computer that only had “educational games”. World of goo was under the physics section. It was the only game that was actually fun to play. Since progress didn’t save on the library computer, I decided to beg my parents for it until they got it for my iPad. Since it was cheap, they decided I could have it. Several years later, I finally, at long last, I beat every level. (Mobile has infinite level skips)
1:34 Before the Wii I used to have's disk drive stopped working, we had that problem with one of our Wii remotes. But then the disk drive stopped working (I don't remember why because I was like 2-3), and we had to get rid of it. ):
Awww man.... I love this game, I sure did rage and struggle a lot in attempt of beating it back then in my childhood, but now that I've grown so much older, I wish I could actually GOO back in time... -The long lost signpainter
I still have quite a few of the old Experimental Gameplay Project games from that website that I got way back when, including Tower of Goo. Awesome reminder of good times!
I remember actually first discovering world of goo in this library they had this kid section with these apps on it and one of them was world of goo Strange to find that in a kids computer
...You know you spent a lot of hours playing Aladdin on Sega Genesis when you recognize those chip tunes the second they start up...😆 Oh man, nostalgia!
This game was so much fun back in the day. If only fans could come together and create an equally mesmerizing sequel......that probably won’t happen though.
I played this on PC, I never really realized it was on Wii until a couple of years ago when I saw it on a friends shelf. Like, what? I bootlegged it when it first came out since I had zero dollars at the time. But have since purchased it a couple of times. For myself and a friend. It's just so good.
The Toki Tori remake is also 10 years old. And so is Bionic Commando Rearmed and Mega Man 9! Actually, the whole revival of 2D gaming happened so long ago, that people are getting a little tired of it and want to see a revival of 3D gaming. That's how old these games have become!
I played this game first when i was a child about 6 -10 years old and i loved it back than. I got this game again a couple of weeks ago via the epic game store and i am hiped to play it again :D
When it came out on steam, I bought the game there, and later pirated it on other platforms (Wii and Android). I'm just not the type of person to buy a game twice on different platforms.
You lost me at Peets coffee. Kidding...much as I hate peets coffee I love your content enough to power through their mention and keep watching and I wasn't disappointed.
The tiny notification on my phone screen had me reading this as "Word of God" & I was expecting some kind of serious breakdown of the role creators play in their own canon vs the validity of fan interpretation before I read who'd posted it.
Now when this came out I did have a less then ligit version but a month later after finishing it I did buy it on steam and still dust it off every year
I spent SO MUCH time in the university library coffee shop the day this came out, playing it on my old laptop, two laptops back. Geez, that was on like, an 11" screen. That's less than 2/3 the size of the laptop I'm typing on right now, omg. My remix of the Red Carpet track from this always went down well at the night I used to DJ at, too.
i piratted this game when it came out. finished it in one night. loved it, instantly bought it on pc. a while later bought it on android, even bought copies for other people on steam.
I remember browsing through Tower of Goo's files and discovering that its squeaky little sound effects are actually people swearing sped up.
Wait what...(a childhood memorie got fragmented, not ruined)
You’re actually kidding me
¡Chemaco!
@Matupeon - I heard that noise as "yamaco", but yeah, also sound pretty much like "te mato"
Childhood : Ruined lol
Zamn. 15 years later, and this game is finally getting the sequel it deserves
y e s
I’m so hyped-
Back when I was younger (and poorer), I indeed pirated this game, and completed the main story. But it wasn't long until I bought it. Always support what you love!
The good ending

Agsma, Just Agsma
PLS TELL ME WHERE IT IS YOU CANT BE SERIOUS
It would’ve been better if you would’ve sent a link to the trailer
I saw it too, it was world of goo and Don't starve
I just have 1 question: why?
@@breadhead9407 ok wait a sec
@@salvatoremutuale9751 it’s been 3 hours
The game is getting a sequel after 15 years...
World of Goo 2 has been announced.
Such a fantastic indie game. It impresses me how passionate and creative indie developers truly are.
May have taken another 5 years but at least we are getting the sequel now.
What a wonderfully melancholy and yet cartoony game. I remember playing it on the wii.
There really is some kind of world lore between Kyle Gabler's games. World of Goo, Little Inferno, and Human Resource Machine, and 7 Billion Humans are all set in different periods in time in the same world as it decays due to the corporations that inhabit it.
Yes. WoG is a different world but the same universe
I absolutely love World of Goo, I remember buying and playing this game during my lunch breaks. They did a fantastic job and it was one of the few games I actually finished to the end and still wanted to play it.
Had the remixed version of Red Carpet for my wedding party reception intro. Was totally fabulous as I imagined it would be.
Little bit longer than we thought but ITS COMING AAAAAAA
Love world of Goo! such a simple game but so relaxing especially when you want something casual to play with excellent audio. Proof to devs that all you need is a good idea and the game will sell itself!
0:23 yea dude, so old it has its sequel now!
Looking forward to it for sure

Must be a great feeling for these small indie devs to come across videos like this documenting their projects. Top work as always, Slopes.
EA developers after leaving EA and realizing they can make games that are actually good:
I do wish you had talked about the Android and iOS versions a bit more. I think some people didn't know that it was released on consoles as well as mobile app stores. For many, it was a just mobile game and a very good one at that.

You forgot to metion that 2d boy changed to the tomorrow co. and continued to make games like little inferno and more recently, 7 billion humans.

Great video, Great content, Great Quality! 👍
Thanks so much mate
i agree

Here we are, in 2023...
And World of Goo 2 is now a THING. The trailer dropped only 5 days ago... I lost my mind.
Awww man.... I love this game, I sure did rage and struggle a lot in attempt of beating it back then in my childhood, but now that I've grown so much older, I wish I could actually GOO back in time...
-The long lost signpainter
World of Goo is such a good game, lisas playing it again on the switch!I love the music in it, especially
Red Carpet Extend-o-matic
Release the Red Carpet
So it took 15 years instead of 10 haha
Never heard of this. For a sec I thought this was going to be about the "Goo" photo editor for Windows from the 90's. This game, however, looks great
YOU DIDNT TALK ABOUT THE REFERENCE IN LITTLE INFERNO
i played this so long ago, very nostalgic
They do have a game that there making super information highway and there is an level in world of goo called that
I literally just finished playing this game and I'm getting this video recommended to me
I still have quite a few of the old Experimental Gameplay Project games from that website that I got way back when, including Tower of Goo. Awesome reminder of good times!
It was the first game I purchased in a "pay-what-you-want" style. Before HumbleBundle was a thing.
I remember actually first discovering world of goo in this library they had this kid section with these apps on it and one of them was world of goo Strange to find that in a kids computer
It stares at me on Amazon every time I look for PC games. I know I should buy it but I keep putting it off. One day...
...You know you spent a lot of hours playing Aladdin on Sega Genesis when you recognize those chip tunes the second they start up...😆 Oh man, nostalgia!
Excellent video my friend
Glad u enjoyed it mate. This is defo one of the more obscure ones for me to do... but still happy to do it
This game was so much fun back in the day. If only fans could come together and create an equally mesmerizing sequel......that probably won’t happen though.
Guess what. A seque is happening!

0:27 was that Professor Juice!?
The game in my childhood that made me a real gamer up until now :)))
This is one of those games like FEZ that I never played but knew was popular & expected to ads for sequels that never game.
That sound off was hilariously cute, love the video as always bud
Love the Zombies Ate My Neighbors music in the background!
I have this on Wii and Switch. Really great game I would probably put it at Number 2 on my indies just behind A Hat In Time.
and minecraft? its also an indie
World of goo was my childhood
I just recently went back and play the game and dude it’s just as good as I remembered Such a great game
World of Goo? The *complete* history? Oh man this is going to be embarassing, I didn't think my puberty & teen years were that well documented.
Its fine i hardly mention your puberty struggles in the video
i played this game since i was like.. 3?
anyways i get major nostalgia everytime somone mentions world of goo
Making levels for this is cool
Does anybody know if the game shown at 4:43, I think called Super Tommy Bubble exists out there?
LordGek it does. It's on the Experimental Gameplay page.
P.S. It's Super TUMMY Bubble. The stain on the title kind of camouflages the U.
I'm building a stream controller config for this in my head right now... I think it's time to start playing it again...
Love this game and it's story. Nice one Dan.
Nice video as usual, but hmm.....
Complete history of Darkstakers for Halloween, anyone? Anyone......
Me watching this video talking about how old this game is while I'm waiting for my team in CS 1.6
Never even heard of this one!! Very nicely done
Get stuck in mate. It's great fun
2:26 of Intro is to much my man
Slopes mate please do 'Worms: The Complete History'.
It will defo happen!
Did anybody think this video is about the World of Goo lore? 😂😂😂
That would be cool this game seems to have very interesting lore.
A certain handheld, eh? It wouldn't possibly be that Spectrum handheld, would it?
When it came out on steam, I bought the game there, and later pirated it on other platforms (Wii and Android). I'm just not the type of person to buy a game twice on different platforms.
You lost me at Peets coffee.
Kidding...much as I hate peets coffee I love your content enough to power through their mention and keep watching and I wasn't disappointed.
I want to make a movie based off of this game
World of goo is a great game. Unique in all sense of the world
The tiny notification on my phone screen had me reading this as "Word of God" & I was expecting some kind of serious breakdown of the role creators play in their own canon vs the validity of fan interpretation before I read who'd posted it.
I have never heard of this before now
Came expecting a lore video explaining the dark storyline of the game, instead got a video about the production history. 😑
Yeah that game is good I played it for the Wii
Have you played Max & The Magic Marker? It combines the gameplay with 2D platforming.
This video is the first time I've seen something that I didn't know I wanted.
It doesn't have nostalgic effect on me but that is a good game
Now when this came out I did have a less then ligit version but a month later after finishing it I did buy it on steam and still dust it off every year
Now that's a lot of goo
oh man... I was 6 when this came out :p
5:27 - Mm. Here I sit with even less saved and even more in student debt :(
4:44 Tony Hawks?
I spent SO MUCH time in the university library coffee shop the day this came out, playing it on my old laptop, two laptops back. Geez, that was on like, an 11" screen. That's less than 2/3 the size of the laptop I'm typing on right now, omg.
My remix of the Red Carpet track from this always went down well at the night I used to DJ at, too.
10 years isn't that long for a game not that old at all
That’s definitely old by my standards for a video game, if it’s over a decade old it’s not “recent.”
For the people who are searching for the story of the game this video says lielary nothing about the story...NOTHING
I got it through Steam. Never did beat it though...
one of the few games i make to sure and play on every device i get
Can you look at Angry Birds🐤🐦🐧🕊🦃🐓
Apparently I had this game on PC but I don’t remember anything from it
Holy fuck! I remember this game.
I need to play it.
Im gonn reinstall this game now!
i piratted this game when it came out. finished it in one night. loved it, instantly bought it on pc. a while later bought it on android, even bought copies for other people on steam.
Me when world of goo ended with no world of goo 2. 😞🔫 me after world of goo 2 came out 😄😄😄😄😄😄
Well this was unexpected.
I think the only new players are coming to it are from the Minecraft splash.
So glad EA didn’t take the game. It would of been ruined
Most likely and would’ve had a million microtransactions and loot-boxes but also probably could’ve had higher production values.
So, we have an Android release apparently... so there's no reason for me to not replay this thing.
My childhood
there is a level editor
I completed this, I have no idea how I had so much time on my hands
They have computers in prison now?
Fuck that shit, I refuse to feel that this game is old.
Could you stop getting ahead of yourself
Ah right, I remember stealing this.
