This is the FULL award winning game, now on iPad. Drag and drop living, squirming, talking, globs of goo to build structures, bridges, cannonballs, zeppelins, and giant tongues.
Mysterious Levels - Each level is strange and dangerously beautiful, introducing new puzzles, areas, and the creatures that live in them.
World of Goo Balls - Along the way, undiscovered new species of Goo Ball, each with unique abilities, come together to ooze through reluctant tales of discovery, love, conspiracy, beauty, electric power, and the third dimension.
The Sign Painter - Someone is watching you.
World of Goo Corporation - Congratulations! World of Goo Corporation is the Global Leader in Goo and Goo Related Product, including World of Goo Corporation Trademark Brand Soft Drink Beverage and World of Goo Corporation Trademark Brand Facial Exfoliating Lotion. Succulent!

Customer Reviews
Incredible.
A standout game that is very polished. Even if the gameplay doesn't win you over at first, it'll grow on you, guaranteed. It's also a visual treat in every level.
The gameplay is great, the music is great, the narrations are great...

The Good:
Everything about this game is great. I had never played the PC or Wii versions of this game so I don't know how it compares, but this game is just awesome. The music is great and really relaxing and goes well with the game. The controls are pretty responsive and there isn't much lagging. For $10, this is a full version of the game which costs $20 on the PC and Mac. This game certainly is unique and I have never played, (nor will I ever play) anything as interesting and unique as "World of Goo.". The latest updates fix all crashing issues and bugs and improve the controls drastically, so no more accidentally tapping time bugs or accidentally moving goo balls around. The game is universal so you buy it once and can use it on iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch. (FYI: This is - retina display version, and also a universal iPad and iPhone version). THIS GAME IS SO FUN!!!!! The graphics are beautiful especially on the iPhone 4's retina display and the iPad's large screen, and overall, the experience is amazing. I am proud to be in the top 100 on the World of Goo leader board (RAPFOA1) and would love to be in the top 50. Thanks for an amazing game
The Bad:
Two years in the making, and still no new levels, but don't get me wrong, there still are a lot of levels. An update adding another level pack would be good.
The Verdict:
"World of Goo" is a very unique game that certainly will not be forgotten. It's gameplay, while not flawless, is very close and will keep you entertained for a short while. The "Corporation Mode" adds replay value to the game after you beat the Campaign. The game is quite hard, which I appreciate, but some might get frustrated with. This really is a "love it" or "hate it" game, but I, (and most of the other reviewers) love it. For $5, it is a little pricey because after all, you could buy Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Pocket God, Doodle Jump, and Angry Birds Seasons for that price, but if you have 5 dollars to spend and love to be challenged, then this is a perfect game for you. It's not so much that this game isn't worth $5. It is. I would pay $10 for this game and in fact I did when I bought it. And the universal support part is awesome. So the verdict is: If you have an iPad and/or iPhone, buy this game, and if you don't buy an iDevice, and then buy this game.
Oozing with style!
Don't you hate app reviews with lots of superlatives?
Having said that, this must be absolutely the most artful game in the app store. Its well balanced game play provides many days of enjoyment, challenge and frustration!
Just when you thought you'd seen every variation of physics game, along comes World of Goo to raise the bar.
So, if you're one of the few who do not already have it, just get it!
