“ World of Goo ”

I've pre-ordered World of Goo this weekend and got the play the beta version.

The game design is fantastic. Really, who needs 3D? Every single level was fun to play, but especially the last map of chapter 1 simply stunned me. Music, Animations, the ingame hits, everything seems so perfectly arranged and created with passion.

Can't wait for the final game to arrive!
