World of Goo: Difference between revisions

Tropes:

 

* [[Alertness Blink]]: The '''!''' of newly-awakened gooballs.

* [[Alice and Bob]]: "Alice and Bob and the Third Party"

* [[Bottomless Pits]]: Present in some levels.

* [[Brick Joke]]: At the end of the first world you send a tower of goo with eyeball balloons into the sky. They later appear at the end in space.

** Also, in the same chapter, if you try to get MOM to erase the cookies concerning your personal data, she accepts, then informs you that they may in fact not have been entirely deleted, and... you're back to the beginning of the discussion tree.

* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: It would be difficult to tell the different species of goo apart without this.

* [[Sequence Breaking]]: You don't have to burn the man to complete the level. Or sacrifice any of the goo balls in Red Carpet level. Since it's a physics-based game, people have discovered tricks to break some physics in his game to allow players to get way above OCD requirements of some levels.

* [[Shareware]]: The PC demo allows you to play through the entirety of the first chapter with no restrictions imposed, but you will need to actually buy the game to continue on. The Wii demo doesn't count as shareware since you cannot save and it automatically terminates at a certain point.

** For one, the [[Puzzle Boss]] flash game ''[[You Have to Burn The Rope]]'' is sent up with the sever-the-overhead-support level "You Have To Explode The Head"

** The introductory text for the fourth level contains a shout-out to ''Armadillo Run'', another indie puzzle game with a similar premise. This borders on a [[Lampshade Hanging]]: the sign in that same level mentions an armadillo for no apparent reason.

* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: More like Videogame Cruelty ''Necessity''. Not only the fate of the poor Matchstick Goo balls, but levels like "Genetic Sorting Machine" and "Red Carpet"... just, ''"Red Carpet"...''

** [[Video Game Caring Potential]]: Swinging back around, of course, with the practice of playing a level specifically to save as many Goo balls as possible. By using lots of tricks, you can save much much more of them than intended.
