History YMMV / WorldOfGoo

** The unveiling of product Z, analog with the product X and Y, leads the game to (falsely) announce "World of Goo is now in... 3d!!". As in X, Y and Z axises on a three dimensional coordinate plane, hee hee.

** "Super Fuse Challenge Time" had one of the most brutal [=OCDs=[ considering all the goos you had to collect under a time limit. However, this OCD was nerfed in newer versions of the game, presumably to cater to a more casual players.

* AccidentalInnuendo: One of The Sign Painer's lines in Upper Shaft does sound a bit suggestive, especially out of context:

** The "server farm" level involves building a tower of goo on a platform that tips depending on how you distribute its weight. So in order to reach the exit pipe, you must "load balance" the server -- ''a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_balancing_%28computing%29 real computing term]]''.

* UglyCute: Most of the goo to some extent, but the skull goo is particularly cute while still managing to look somewhat macabre.
* SpiritualAdaptation: Possibly the best [[Literature/TheLorax Lorax]] video game we will ever get!

* SpiritualAdaptation: Its the best [[Literature/TheLorax Lorax]] video game we will ever get!

* ThatOneLevel: "Tower of Goo" in the first chapter requires you to build a really tall tower to reach the pipeline. You have a lot of goo balls to work with, but if you don't support it properly, you'll see the structure sway and collapse.

%%* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory: Quite possibly the biggest social commentary from a simple indie game about solving physics-based puzzles using goo balls.

%%* FridgeHorror: It's not the goo balls fault or the Corporation's fault [[spoiler: the world is now polluted and destroyed]]. It's '''YOURS'''.
%%* GoodBadBugs: Since it's a physics-based game, it can be broken, resulting in amazing OCD results.

%%* ThatOneLevel: "Incineration Destination"
%%** The level immediately before it, "You Have To Explode The Head", can make "Incineration Destination" look like a [[BreatherEpisode Breather Episode]]. Good luck with that swaying tower!
%%** Tower Of Goo, which appears in the first chapter!
%%** Infesty The Worm, for those who do not know the proper strategy.
%%*** Or any of the three levels leading up to the grand final, for that matter.

* FanTranslation: 2DBoy relied on fans to translate the game to different languages. Results were good.

* NightmareFuel: By the end of the first chapter you'll likely be pondering the mental stability of the game's writer.
** Also the screams of the humans as Product Z [[spoiler: turns the world into the virtual reality known as the Information Superhighway]]. It's unsettling to watch but downplayed by the fact the goo isn't harmed in any way. However, there is a little FridgeHorror in the fact [[spoiler: ''[[UncertainDoom we never see any of the human characters again]]'']].

** "Cog In The Machine," with ominous strings and children laughing and screaming in the background of the piece, also counts.

** Later levels the music may reach TearJerker proportions.

*** If it helps, try building 2 towers that connect.
**** [[SincerityMode It does, thank you.]]
** Tower. Of. Goo. IN THE FIRST CHAPTER!
*** Build like a house, wide base with a more verical direction.
