    I'm sure that everyone who is also paying this will agree with me that this is one of the best games they have ever played.
    It is simply idea, but they manage to use that principle i such ways that are really amazing. It is a must have.
    I would have loved added a link to a demo of the game so that those who do not have this game so that they could also experience it but there wont be a demo till early 2009.

    It truly is quite unique.

    I wouldn't call it one of the BEST games, as there seems to be no options menu or anything, but still a very nice game.

    How far are you in it? The beginning is pretty tame.

    Blimey, you're right sir. This game will entertain me till I die. I love the OCD feature.

    It is one of those games you cannot play for hours on end though... It gets a bit tiresome, especially with a tablet PC!

    Okay, I did a bit of research. The WiiWare version costs fifteen imaginary dollars, but the PC version costs five bucks more. What gives?!

    If the European disc Wii version will cost the same as the PC version (which it most probably will), PAL users will have to pay $ 40 for this game.

    I think $15 for a great game like this is a steal.  I'm buying this soon, but I've got to do some Wii spring cleaning plus Baddest of the Bands is probably coming next week and that's the main priority now.

    I just failed at completing the last level in chapter 1. Damn. This is a prime example of an outstanding game. A simple game mechanic made epic by presentation, playability and innovative use.

    It's definatly even better than Braid.

    this might seen impossible at where you are at now but that "innovative use" in the first chapter is scrap compared to the later ones.

    Well I hope so.  "Innovative use" implies that the devs till the end of the game continuously throw new ideas at me.

    trust me they do, actually about every 2 levels they introduce a new concept ,different type of goo ball or a different way you can use a old concept with a new goo ball.

    Just finished it takes about 6-7 hours to beat the story mode.

    Then there is the tower build mode, the extra goo balls you saved during story mode will be there, your goal is to build a tower that reaches the heavens.
    Actually you have to reach the heavens in order to get the true ending. And the heavens are far far away....


    4,5/5 stars, the thing that keeps me from rating it 5 is that i would have liked it to be somewhat harder.

    and again chapter 4 is mind blowing.

    Finished it yesterday (the sneak release thingy on their website) and I'm currently trying to get OCD on level 2 in chapter 4. which I am failing at because the aiming and shooting controls for the goo is a bit odd. That is actually the only real criticism that I can give it, the rest of the game is totally wonderful! Especially when your trying to OCD a level and you discover an unconventional way to complete it, that is where the game really shines.

    Third one was a pain. = [ But I really like this game. I usually hate puzzle games, but I'm glad I like this one.

    I noticed the OCD thing, but it seems too hard for me to accomplish right now. =S

    I just completed the 2nd chapter and I'm completely blown away by it so far. Every aspect of the game is just fantastic. Innovative gameplay with excellent art design and music. Not to mention that it's very addictive too!

    I just picked it up today along with Tetris Party. I think together that makes for the best 27 bucks I've ever spent. What a game.
