World of Goo Demo is great
Posted on:October 16 2008
I tried out the just released World of Goo Demo, and it's great. The Demo only has 32 MB and is worth a download. World of Goo plays a bit like a mixture of Lemmings and Bridge Builder, with a strange but amusing and entertaining art style and very innovative levels. From a technical perspective, the way everything is done is quite interesting: The videos, the goo, the levels.
World of goo uses a physics engine (ODE) and as it seems 3D accellerated 2D graphics, (SDL with parts of a game framework I've never heard of - PopCap Games Framework). I personally also like the music and the cool sound effects, they are creating a very nice atmosphere. And that all the sound is generated by irrKlang makes the game even more likable for me :)

Popcap Games, If my memory serves me correctly, those are the ones that created Bejeweled
The Onslaught

He said he never heard of their game framework, not that he hadnt heard of PopCap; same here. Wonder if it's good, you can't read about it without registering it seems? >:|

@matthias, u need to register to read about it, that is true. Though there gameframework is getting good reviews in edge-online for casual games. Looks like it is becoming famous. I first played bookworm game of them.

"We made a last minute decision to change our sound library. World of Goo now uses irrKlang, which is a lot less expensive than bass and fmod and has a much nicer API."

I had pre-ordered the game and i can recommend it. Made it through the game a little fast for my taste, but it was cool. Can't wait for the pc-version of Braid to be released now. :)
