World of Goo is a puzzle computer game for the Wii and Windows (Mac OS X and Linux versions are planned) by 2D Boy, an independent game developer founded by Kyle Gabler and Ron Carmel, both former Electronic Arts employees. It was nominated for the Seumas McNally grand prize, Design Innovation Award and Technical Excellence at the Independent Games Festival. It was released for the Wii's WiiWare in North America on October 13, 2008. The game is also to be released in Europe as a retail game with added content. The developer noted in an interview that "It's not going to be a budget title, but I don't know if it will be "full price" either".
* Eurogamer called World of Goo "Physics' latest, purest, and most brilliant gift."
* IGN said of the Wii version "World of Goo is an amazing WiiWare game that you simply must buy for this is exactly the type of software that needs both recognition and support", finding only minor fault with the camera controls and lack of a level editor.
* WiiWare World gave the game 10/10, saying "Not only is World of Goo easily the best WiiWare release to date, it's also proof that you don't need a large development team or millions of dollars to create an outstanding video game."
* 1UP.com said "World of Goo isn't "just" anything -- except, that is, one of just a handful of truly excellent original games for the Wii."
* Nintendo World Report criticised the "slow start" of the game, but otherwise praised it as "easily the best WiiWare game to date and, perhaps, one of the best this generation."
