Having played the original back in 2008, it’s been a delight to see how the franchise has evolved while staying true to its roots.


World of Goo 2 is the long-awaited follow-up to the 2008 puzzle game, World of Goo. In this sequel, players continue to manipulate adorable gooey characters to construct robust bridges or structures that lead to the objective in each level.

In your journey with the upcoming sequel, World of Goo 2, you’ll discover that it offers an additional 5 captivating chapters and a total of 60 engaging levels to conquer.

Yet, don’t be daunted as each level is designed for quick completion and often takes less than a minute to finish.

If you decide to stick with the main storyline only, you’re likely to finish this concise puzzle game in around 6 to 6.5 hours.

Regardless if you’re aiming for a full game completion or a quick run through, here are some useful strategies to master each stage.

  • The first thing you will want to do is scope out the level. While this might add additional time, it will make it easier for you to complete all the challenges if you know what obstacles are around you.
  • With the environment scoped out, make sure you utilize the environment as much as possible. Sometimes, using ledges can make it easier for you to create bridges to reach the end goal, especially if it is high up.
  • You will want to save as many goo balls as possible. This will make it much easier to finish later levels and will ensure you can complete all the challenges. Try to stretch out each goo ball as far as possible so you don’t have to use more than you need to.
  • Use the white time bugs that appear as much as needed if you make a mistake. These will go back in time so you can try again, and won’t add on any additional time so you can hit the target for the level’s time challenge.

World of Goo 2 is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, and Mac.
