Gameplay
World of Goo features a somewhat strange new kind of gameplay. Essentially, a player needs to build a structure of "goo" that will connect the starting point to the exit area. Along the way, the structure will need to adapt to and handle obstacles such as valleys, hills and water hazards. The anticipated input device used for World of Goo is a standard mouse and the game is expected to be single player only.
