Amazing! World Of Goo gameplay - one of my favorite puzzle games. Sometimes I need to test many games before to find a pearl, but this time I find it right now. Thank you for this contribution. This is my first test for the 49th LudumDare. I love it. You made my day ++

This is nice and I spent a lot of time playing it, solid world of goo vibes :p

A lot of fun, I definitely found it easy to get into!

Oh man, we had piratically the same idea but I think you got the execution better! Congratulations!

PS: Was there any audio? Because rating for that is enabled but I didn't hear anything while playing.

Really fun puzzle game, and well executed! Great job!

I love how you must be both stable and unstable to win the game. The game is really amazing.

Superb game! Really interesting mechanic and it was easy to understand. Awesome submission

shp4 Oct 2021, 14:43

The mechanics work pretty well, I would've wished a bit more challenge since it seemed like you can just keep building without too much worries, maybe if the connections broke a bit easier it might have felt more tense. Anyway good job!

p-r4 Oct 2021, 14:44

Maybe you should add a limiter for the number of connections per level to make a little bit more challenging?

Love the World Of Goo Esque gameplay on this one. It was also a nice touch to have strain be colored on the strands. Pretty fun, pretty challenging. Keep on making games!

Being able to make a clone of World of goo in 48h is incredible, and it fit the theme too!

However it is too similar to its source of inspiration, just adding a single new mecanic, and maybe changing the theme a litle, would have made this entry 200% better.

Reminds me a bit of poly bridge, fun to mess around with, a lot of creative ways to complete a lvl and is very responsive. Could have wished for more lvl's and maybe make it harder by making the connections break if there is to much pressure as you are destined to complete the lvl eventually. Impressed by the way the goo's knows how to travel to their destination.

Love the World-of-Goo-esque gameplay - really fun, and really polished for the time available!

THIS GAME IS A PLAINE AS DAY THIEVERY OF WORLD OF GOOO FUCK YOU BITCH DIE

zantze4 Oct 2021, 17:54

Thanks for reviewing my game!

The graphics are really good and the game and physics work really well! It also fits the theme nicely. It needs some kind of incentive though, like the amount of bridges you build, or time. Good work!

Fantastic game! I loved World of Goo and to see it recreated in such a short time is just great. Especially given the fact it looks so beautiful. Really good graphics and well working physics. Great job!

PetTurtle4 Oct 2021, 22:52

Great game, and impressive building mechanics! But the levels became to easy as there was no limit to how many connections I could make.

LDJam user 2309635 Oct 2021, 02:36

Cool game! Little bit of SFX and BGM would help.

dsoberdan5 Oct 2021, 03:08

Loved it! The graphics and little dust blobs were cute. The level design was great. It could benefit from sound effects and music, but overall I loved it :)

Rustywolf5 Oct 2021, 03:22

Amazing entry, one of the best I've seen yet!

candlesan5 Oct 2021, 05:36

Gorgeous game. Really fun to just spam out spiderwebs everywhere to watch the little guys run to the exit. Very cool.

Richnou8 Oct 2021, 15:21

Recreating World of Goo in 3 days... WOW !
Bravo!

Pio14 Oct 2021, 18:20

This is definitely my favourite game this Ludum Dare! You recreated an awesome game and you did it really well. But I wish there was some music or sound and in one level I lost some of my creatures and got stuck without a way to restart the level.
