[Hong Kong, 21 November, 2024] Game Source Entertainment (GSE) announces that "World of Goo™ 2," the sequel to the beloved multiplayer puzzle adventure game series developed by independent game studio 2DBOY after a sixteen-year hiatus, will be released as a Nintendo Switch™ Asian physical edition. It is set to be launched on November 28, 2024, with pre-orders now available. Do you find physics difficult to understand and don't know how to start playing World of Goo™ 2? Don't worry, you can actually get the hang of it quite easily by mastering a few key techniques! Today, we're bringing you an introduction to the basic gameplay of this game. Get ready to challenge your limits to the fullest!

Game Introduction

【Control Methods】

World of Goo™2 offers two main control methods: directly touching the screen with your fingers; or detaching the Nintendo Switch™ Joy-Con™ controllers on both sides, using the buttons and control sticks on the controller to move the screen. When using the Joy-Con™ controllers, you can press the + button or - button at any time to re-center the control point. If you find the display too small or too large, you can also press the L button or R button to zoom in or out, enhancing your gaming experience. 

【Game Structure】

The game consists of five chapters, each with different levels. As the game progresses, the difficulty of the levels gradually increases, requiring players to constantly adjust their gameplay strategies to tackle more complex and challenging levels. 

【Gameplay Mechanics】

The gameplay of World of Goo™2 is very simple: players can manipulate black sticky creatures called Goo on the map, using them to construct various structures such as bridges and towers, to alter the terrain of the map. The ultimate goal for players in each level is to build the most efficient and stable structures using the least amount of Goo in the shortest time, in order to send as many Goo as possible to the destination—a mysterious pipe. Sometimes the Goo might be hiding and resting in the bushes, remember to wake them up and send all the Goo to the pipe.

【Data Statistics】

After each level is completed, the game provides simple statistics including the number of Goo collected by the player, the number of steps taken to complete the level, and the time needed to clear the level. Through the information, players can understand their building efficiency, motivate themselves to challenge for better scores, increase the replay value of the game, and lay a good foundation for physics and construction skill. 

【Multiplayer Mode】

The offline mode of World of Goo™2 supports up to four players simultaneously, allowing players to tackle more difficult levels through teamwork and effective communication. Each player's Joy-Con™ controller is marked with a different colour on the screen, so remember not to mix up your controller with your partners'! 

【Key Technique 1: Pay Attention to Every Sign Around You】

There are different signs that appear in each level. Although they may seem insignificant compared to the Goo balls, they play a crucial role. Signs not only narrate the story content but sometimes also display methods for clearing the level, giving players hints on how to reach the pipe. These signs are extremely important sources of information, so remember to check each sign! 

【Key Technique 2: Understand the Characteristics of each Goo Balls】

Every species of Goo balls have different characteristics, and players need to formulate corresponding gameplay strategies based on the strengths and weaknesses of each Goo variety. In addition to the Goo types from the previous episode, this new installment has introduced brand new varieties, such as Terrain Goo that can only connect to cheese-shaped terrain, and the pixel-style Gooproduct White. Flexibly using various Goo in different situations will greatly improve level-clearing efficiency! 

【Key Technique 3: Master the Secret of Time Reversal】

Sometimes, you'll see a little white bug buzzing around. If you spot its trail, you're incredibly lucky! Tap it lightly, and you'll be able to go back in time. As you navigate carefully through the game, you occasionally need a chance to catch your breath. This little white bug is your capable assistant! 

【Key Technique 4: Make Good Use of Real-World Physics Principles】

The game includes various maps, and players need to carefully consider physical elements such as gravity, balance, and structural strength to determine Goo allocation and overall building strategy direction. World of Goo™ 2 employs real physical laws, testing players' physical logical thinking. Only by flexibly using creativity and adaptability can you avoid structural collapse and establish stability.

【Key to Win No. 5: Failure is the Prelude to Success】

Sometimes, you might not collect enough Goo balls and fail to clear a level successfully. However, as the saying goes: "Failure is the mother of success." Don't be discouraged! Players can press the "Retry" button in the menu to experiment with different structures and methods, continuing to explore until they find the most effective solution! 

【《World of Goo™ 2》Story Overview】

Fifteen years flew by in a flash, and our lovable "Goo" balls popped up again through some earthquake cracks! The formerly bankrupt World of Goo Corporation has made a comeback, rebranding itself as the "World of Goo Organization." This self-proclaimed eco-friendly institution has resumed its Goo ball collecting activities. One day, they lowered a hook into the water, aiming at a giant creature. This creature grabbed the hook and surfaced, immediately shooting a burst of flame towards space.

100,000 years later, an observer from a distant planet was drawn to that flame. Silently, through a telescope, he watched everything unfolding on that faraway world...

【Introduction to the 《World of Goo™ 》 Series】

Welcome to The World of Goo™!

After a sixteen-year hiatus, the independent game "World of Goo™" by the small-scaled studio 2DBOY is back with its sequel "World of Goo™ 2," set to make a strong return to the Nintendo Switch™ platform on November 28, 2024. This once immensely popular game received high praise from numerous media and garnered multiple accolades, including a high score of 9.5 from IGN, as well as the Design Innovation Award and Technical Excellence Award at the 2008 Independent Games Festival (IGF) in the United States. 

This innovative puzzle adventure game cleverly combines principles of physics and fluid simulation, challenging players' spatial thinking and problem-solving abilities. Players need to manipulate the sticky and wondrous creatures called "Goo" to flexibly construct various complex structures, such as bridges and towers. The game continues the unique and distinctive art style of its predecessor, paired with touching original music, bringing players an ultimate gaming experience. The plot unfolds gradually through various cutscenes and signpost content within the game, allowing players to slowly uncover the mysteries of this gooey world. Players will experience four seasons, encountering different and new Goo balls in each season!

What appears on the surface to be an ordinary and simple building game actually contains profound meaning, continuing the clever satire of its predecessor on corporate greenwashing and commercialized environmentalism, skillfully integrating real social issues into the game.
