The last of goo balls didn’t seem to know that the fantastic World of Goo… has just learned to speak a few new languages!World of Goo has been officially upgraded to include brand-new translations in Russian, Simplified Chinese, and — for the first time ever — Ukrainian! All thanks to the tireless (and possibly goo-covered) efforts of our excellent translation community.Translating a deeply American-centric game like World of Goo is no easy feat. How does one take all the internet puns, double-meaning jokes, and corporate-speak nonsense and have it make sense in another language? What does YAM

No more! The World of Goo 2 Official Soundtrack is also coming to Steam on April 25, 2025, and can be purchased separately or as part of a bundle on launch day. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3681380/World_of_Goo_2_Soundtrack/ Tomorrow Corporation’s own Kyle Gabler worked with new member of our team Jonny Trengrove, and over 50 musician

World of Goo 2 is coming to Steam on April 25! There will be three ridiculous new levels, designed especially for the most clever, the most hardcore, the most goo-imbued players. (Even some of the development team have been unable to complete them.) Updates will include: Three new extremely difficult challenge levels. Over 30 Extra Fabulous Achievements. A Brand New Options Menu! Never before included in a 2DBOY or Tomorrow Corporation game. A bunch of bug fixes and more. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45546311/2ea00af89aae37de59904290eb6d7a46b8846ca0.gif Please consider supporting our team by wishlisting

The original World of Goo came out more than 15 years ago. The world is a little older now, and so are we. And you. You can’t stop progress! Welcome, World of Goo 2 -- releasing this Spring on Steam with: Extra Fabulous Steam Achievements Acclaimed Original Soundtrack And more! Wishlist it now! We’ve been quietly readying World of Goo 2 for new platforms in a continued effort to help World of Goo fans answer the important questions: What happens if you poke Goo with a stick?

World of Goo 2 will release later this week on August 2, and to celebrate the developers have released a new trailer showing off a bit more than we saw when they revealed it last fall . One of the early great digital distribution indies—and still fun today—World of Goo has players snatch up little weird goop balls and attach them into increasingly unwieldy constructions in order to get said little goop buddies to the end of each level on their journey through an increasingly absurd and equally unwieldy plot...

I loved World of Goo when it came out way back in 2008, and I've always thought it was too bad they never made another one. So it was really great to hear at The Game Awards tonight that finally, they are... Read more.

Wibbly-wobbly physics puzzler World of Goo is free on the Epic Games Store now, and in a couple of weeks it will be followed by spooky narrative experiment Stories Untold.  World of Goo has been around for so long now and has been part of so many sales and bundles that I can't imagine anyone not owning it for multiple devices, but maybe there are still a few of you. You can get it for free between now and May 16. It's good! I mean I don't think I have the energy to play it yet again, but if you've missed it, it's a cracking physics puzzler with loads of character.

I whoo, you whoo, we all whoo for World Of Goo. Following the recent update that brought a “gentle remastering” making it play nice on modern systems, 2D Boy’s modern-day classic puzzler is now free for keepsies on the Epic Games Store if you grab it within the next fortnight. That’s not a pun. While I think of World Of Goo as one of those games everyone must have played by now, given how great it is and how often it’s been mega-cheap, but… it’s ten years old so I many won’t have played it. Hey, youse, it’s real nice and it’s free r

That wonderful World Of Goo, a modern classic of a puzzle ’em up, gets polished up for the present day in a new free update. Coming over ten years after the game’s release, the update brings support for modern widescreen resolutions, art reworked to look better at our shiny new high resolutions, less bugginess on modern operating systems, interface improvements borrowed from newer versions like the Nintendo Switch release, and other welcome tweaks. Loading it back up just now, gosh, World Of Goo really is still charming so I’m glad that returning is now less of a bother. Ep

The next free game on the Epic Games Store, as of May 2, will be World of Goo, the bizarre, sticky, and exceptionally good structure-building puzzle game from 2008. Even better, after years of languishing in a not-quite-right state, it's been given a significant update to ensure that it runs properly on modern PCs.  "The last time we built the PC version of World of Goo was ten years ago, way back in 2009. The game ran at a 4:3 aspect ratio and at a resolution of 800x600. Most computers now can't even enter that old 800x600 mode without the screen flashing or glitching. The

Having long since forgotten the plot of world of goo but not its glorious, weird jelly Meccano physics, I think I was expecting this reinstall to be a mainly sensory experience. Something like Peggle—great music, appealing cartoonish aesthetic—but with a slippery puzzle element instead of pinball, and a streak of black humour involving some goo balls going through a mincer.  I had forgotten the observations about how companies use data and cookies (World of Goo operates in a GDPR-less world), about idiotic, wasteful product launches, about the value of physical beauty and so

7 Billion Humans is a people-powered programming puzzle game set in a world ruled by machines. It was announced by developer Tomorrow Corporation today as a direct follow-up to 2015's Human Resource Machine.  The announcement trailer is bleak, but the premise is interesting. Essentially, you order office workers to complete tasks by treating them as variables in a unique programming language. Tomorrow Corporation says 7 Billion Humans improves on the language used in Human Resource Machine with the addition of multi-worker execution—again, bleak.  "You'll be tau

The Humble Indie Bundle is back, but this time with a greatest hits collection featuring some of the best games from past bundles. It's an amazing selection for anybody that's new to indie games, or gaming in general. For everyone else, there's a pretty good chance you already own most of what's here. As usual, the action is split into multiple categories depending on how much you're willing to pay. Whatever you pay, you'll get Super Meat Boy, World of Goo and Dustforce DX. Beat the average (currently $4.78) and you'll also get Dungeon Defenders Collection, Limbo and Braid. Finally,
