---World of Goo Walkthrough---



Oh, recently long time ago I have found a game called World of Goo. And I finished now. If you are interested in it, go on reading!
Tip: It is much easier to play on mobile devices than PCs, for you can use more than one gooball at the same time on mobile devices.
When you open the game, you can see a planet (Or Earth?) on the left of the screen. Click the green hill. It's chapter 1.






---Chapter 1: The Goo Filled Hills---
Image



The first level: Going up.

Image
Well, you can see the tower base and a pipe in the sky, drag n' drop a gooball to create two lines and a gooball on the top.
Image
Obsessive Completion Distinction Criteria: (Also known as OCD, it means the final chellenge in each level) Collect at least 11 balls or more. If you put as the picture shows, will finish it! After you got an OCD, this level will add a little flag. My record: 11.



The second level: The Small Devide.

Just build a small bridge to the other side, or you could build a tower and let it fall down. This way needs more experience.
Build like this:

Image
OCD: Collect at least 16 balls or more. If you build the bridge like the picture shows, you will get it! My record: 16.



The third level: Hang Low.

At the bottom of this level, you can see some white gooballs (They are called Albino gooballs) sleeping.
Image
When they are sleeping, you can't use it to build. You have to use the gooballs which are waking to build near the sleeping gooballs.
Image
After they wake up, they can be used to build to the top!
Image
OCD: Collect at least 22 balls or more. I haven't finished it. Welcome any solutions to this chellenge! My record: 18.
Also, when you finish this level, World of Goo Corporation will be unlocked, all extra gooballs you collected will be sent there. You can use these gooballs to build a giant goo tower and compare with others!

Image



The fourth level: Impale Sticky

From this level, you can see some insects flying on your screen (In some level they don't appear), they are very useful, when you get trouble, you can click one to go back by one move.
Image
Don't let gooballs touch the wheel gear, it will damage the gooballs! Don't worry if the goo tower is too heavy. There is water at the bottom. And here is the solution:
Image
OCD: Collect at leat 42 balls or more. Well, my record is 41. But still, suggestions are welcomed.
After you finish this level, there are two levels to choose to beat.



The fifth level: Ivy Tower.

When you come to this level, you can see the gooballs are all in green (They are called Ivy gooballs, they can be replaced.)
If you use all the gooballs, you will not be able to reach the pipe. So you have to take apart some Ivy gooballs and place them again.

Image
And after you reach the top, you can even remove some Ivy gooballs until 2 gooballs left:
Image
OCD: Collect at leat 16 balls or more. If you collect all the gooballs and just 2 gooballs left, then remove a gooball quickly to the pipe. My record: 16. (You can't collect more than 16 balls in this level.)



The sixth level: Tumbler.

This level is in a rotating machine. If your tower falls down, just remove some Ivy gooballs and rebuild your tower.
OCD: Collect at least 35 balls or more. Just like the previous level, leave two gooballs and send the other gooballs to the pipe and at last needs some speed. :3 (Also, you can't beat my record.)

Image



The eighth level: Chain.

In this level balance is the most important! First, use the Ivy gooballs to wake up the gooballs at the bottom.
Image
And then use the Ivy gooballs to build to the pipe. You can remove until two Ivy gooballs left.
Image
OCD: Collect at least 25 balls or more. My record: 25. (You can't beat me record, either.)
Let's go back to the other side.




The ninth leel: Flying Machine.

In this level you can see some red gooballs. (They are balloon gooballs, they can give gooballs a force of upwards.)
Use the balloons to let the gate open and then remove some of the balloons to the gooball square to fiy to the pipe.

Image

Image
OCD: Finish his level in not more than 16 seconds. My record: 14 seconds. Just needs some speed. :3



The tenth level: Fisty's Bog

In this level you can't let the bridge too high or too low. If the bridge is too low, then use a balloon to let it go upwards, if the balloon is too high, then use a gooball to build to the pipe and let it go down. The solution is here.
Image
OCD: Finish this level in not more than 14 moves. My record: 13 moves.



The eleventh level: Tower of Goo.

I think this level is the hardest level in this chapter. The most important thing in this level is that you should build a perfect base first!
Image
A square at the bottom is called a base square. If you build 7-8 base square, you can build to the pipe safely. If you build less than 7 base squares, you need some speed, for at the top of the tower it can easily fall down.
And then build the tower to the pipe:

Image
OCD: Collect at least 68 balls or more. Well, I am an unfortunate person. Just 1 gooball left! My record: 67 on PC. But 74 on my mobile device.
Then, two levels left. However, they are harder in this chapter than the previous levels.




The twelfth level: Ode to the Bridge Builder.

In this level you need to build a longer bridge. If you just build to the right and don't think anymore, you can't beat the level. Have you ever build a bridge on your computer? It's like the way to build.
Image
OCD: Collect at least 38 balls or more. My record: 34. Suggestions are welcomed.



The thirteenth level: Regurgitation Pumping Station.

!!! In this level you can't find time insects or skip this level. (Because this is the last level in a chapter)
When you first come to this level, you can see some water at the bottom. It's awful, because the base square always move. So let it stop moving is important. Just connect two sides of the walls.

Image
Then build upwards to the wheels. The wheels give a force of upwards. You needn't to build too high.
Image
Then you can see some eyes. Use them and let the goo tower fiy to the top and you will finish this level.. The eyes are like balloons.
Image
OCD: Finish this level in not more than 42 moves. My record: 39 moves. You needn't use al the eyes, romove some gooballs can reduce the moves you use.


---End of chapter 1---



---Chapter 2: Little Miss World of Goo---

Image



The first level: Drool.

First, use the gooballs on the top and let it fall down to wake up the Ivy gooballs.
Image
And then use the Ivy gooballs to build to the pipe.
Image
OCD: Collect at least 24 balls or more. My record: 22. It's hard to leave 2 gooballs near the pipe. Maybe I should build shorter near the pipe.



The second level: Fly away Little Ones.

Just three balloons. How can we get to the other side. Here is the picture. Move it as the picture shows and do it more times, it will fiy to the other side.
Image
After waking up the gooballs, then fiy back to the pipe in the same way.
Image
OCD: Collect at least 12 balls or more. My record: 10. I just have some mistakes and don't collect enough balls. It's welcomed that you can show your solutions.



The third level: Blustery Day.

Use the balloon gooball to lift the normal gooballs. Attention: Do not touch the biggest fan!
If you build over the fan, the wind blows from the left to the right. Then you build to the pipe, pay attention to the top. Do not touch the fan!

Image
OCD: Collect at least 18 balls or more. My record: 18. First flag in this world! XD Just don't let the wind blow your gooballs! :lol:



The fourth level: Welcoming Unit.

First use the balloons in the cloud to let the gate open and then use the conveyor and Ivy gooballs to let normal gooballs go to the right. Finally, use the rest baloons to reach the pipe.
Image

Image
OCD: Collect at least 61 balls or more. My record: 80. Cut the conveyor!



The fifth level: Beauty School

Easy level! Just let the base square fly away and then remove the Ivy gooballs.
Image
Finally use the gooball to build to the pipe.
Image
OCD: Finish this level in not more than 21 seconds. My record: 18 seconds. Just needs some speed! Then there are two levels to beat. Let's go to the left side first.



The sixth level: Leap Hole.

As the description says, it is not a bug, it is a feature. Just leave two Ivy gooballs near the pipe and send the rest gooballs to the pipe. Then quickly remove one gooball to the pipe.
Image
OCD: Finish this level in not more than 13 seconds. My record: 10 seconds. Also needs some speed. When you finish this level, you will get a whistle. Use this can let gooballs go to where you want then to go to.
Image



The seventh level: Whistler

Now you have to use whistle. Just click a place and at that place will have the sound of whistle and the gooball will trace the way to find the sound. First use the whistle on the left to wake up the gooballs.
Image
And then use it on the right. Finally use the gooballs to build to the pipe.
Image
OCD: Finish this level in not more than 29 seconds. My record: 24 seconds. Also, speed is important.
Now let's go to the other side.




The eighth level: Volcanic Percolator Day Spa.

Well, it seems that you can't break the big "Ugly" at the bottom. You have to bubble it up to the top. Like this:
Image
Bubble it to the top and break it into small gooballs and then remove Ivy gooballs to let them faa into the water at the bottom.
Image
OCD: Finish this level in not more than 30 moves. My record: 27 moves. Just think that how to use less moves and bubble higher. And use less moves to let the gooballs go to the bottom of the level.



The ninth level: Beauty and the Electric Tentacle

All the gooballs on the electric tentacle is like the gooballs in the first level in this chapter. It can only connect with one gooball. Use the balloons to let the left side go up and the Beauty will move right.
Image
Do this again more times until the Beauty lands on the right. Then it weill be broken into small gooballs.
Attention: The pipe is black, all kinds (except balloons) of gooballs can enter this pipe.

Image
You can use balloons to let the base square reach the pipe or use a gooball.
Image
OCD: Collect at least 29 balls or more. My record: 32. Sometimes when you click a time insect, the Beauty will bubble and go to the right. So I saved a lot of gooballs.



The tenth level: The Red Carpet.

You can see a caged Beauty on the left and the red pipe on the right. How can the Beauty get out of the cage? You can see a down arrow under the Albino gooballs. That means you should put many gooballs on the box. If the gravity of gooballs is enough, the box will go down and the Beauty will get out of the cage.
Image

Image
Then bubble the Beauty to far right and let it become small pieces. But you should build the passage way first. (Before the Beauty get out of the cage.)
Image
Finally send the red gooballs to the pipe!
Image
OCD: Finish this level in not more than 45 moves. Just make less mistakes and use less moves to bubble the Beauty and send to the pipe. My record: 45 moves.



The eleventh level: Genetic Sorting Machine.

You can't find timebugs or skip this level, for this level is the last level of a chapter. The video at the biginning tells you that you should you should send different kind of Beauties into different pipes. There are pictures on the pipe.
Make sure that you should bullbe three brown Beauties and then bubble the red Beauty!

Image
Then remove two Ivy gooballs and let the red Beauty go into the wheel gear and let it become small gooballs.
Image
(The music changes) Use the balloons to send the gooballs to the pipe.
Image
OCD: Finish this level in not more than 24 moves. My record: 31 moves. I am thinking an effectine way, just trying. Suggestions are welcomed!


---End of chapter 2---



---Chapter 3: Cog in the Machine---

Image



The first level: Burning Man.

The pipe is hidden by the huge head. And have you found the fire at the bottom? Use the match gooballs to build near the fire.
Image
Then the huge head goes down. You can use the balloon to let the base square go near the pipe.
Image
OCD: Finish this level in not more than 11 moves. Just reduce the moves that use to build to the fire. My record: 11 moves.



The second level: Second Hand Smoke.

Use the match gooball to build like this:
Image
And then build to the fire.And then the Albino gooball square falls down to the pipe.

After finishing this level, you have two levels to beat. Let's go the downside way first.

You should build a small tower. However, there are only match gooballs. So speed is required.Wake up the ren gooballs first.

Image
Then build to the pipe. There are some extra red gooballs over the pipe. So if you have enough time, build higher and wake up them!
Image
OCD: Collect at least 32 balls or more. You should wake up all the red gooballs to finish this. Speed is really required. My record: 24 on PC. But 32 on my mobile device. :cry:



The seventh level: Upper Shaft.

The hardest part is that we should to let the bomb go near the walls. Please look the picture. Build like the picture shows and remove the Ivy gooball as the mouse points.
Image
Do it more times until the bomb goes down near the walls. Then catch fire!
Image
Thenthe walls disappear. Use gooballs to connect the base square with the chain on the middle. Finally build to the pipe. You can leave two gooballs near the pipe, but it needs some hard work.
Image
OCD: Collect at least 45 balls or more. I have no idea about how to finish this. My record: 38. Suggestions are welcomed.



The eighth level: You Have to Explode the Head.

As the title says, you have to explode the head, for the pipe is hidden by the head. And you can't touch it. Have you ever seen the bomb on the top? Build a tower near the bomb and wake up it.

As the bomb can touch the head, put it near it and make a fire!
Image
Then the pipe appears. Attention: The pipe can catch any type of gooballs.

Image
Then go to the top connect with the other virus gooballs. Connect them until near the pipe. The virus gooball chain can't touch the wheel gears on both sides.

Image

Image
Build it to the shinning circle at the top and click "Shortcut to MOM". And then "Ask MOM Beta" will open. Ask MOM the third question till the end. MOM will tell you how to do next. Then you will pass this level.

JPG :rarrow: update! :rarrow: GIF!
My rating standards: show
I have rated so many levels but I didn't obey any rules. Here is my own rating standard. ( New judging standards! )



I'll give each level an unoffical overview with 100 points in total.



1.Level Quality: (25/100 points): Include level diffculty, graphics and the designing of the level. If a level is so hard or laggy that I can't pass this star will immediately be lost. And if a level is so easy that I can EASILY pass it, I'll cost scores according to the circumstances.
How to judge if a level is laggy:

FPS: 26+: Good.

FPS: 20-26: Not very good, but it can be accepted.

FPS: 14-20: Bad.
FPS: 14-: Terrible, I can't stand!

Here is a tutorial that can prevent a "laggy" level:Why is a Level Laggy?
Tutorial that can make better text in LD: Coming Soon!



2.In-game playing: (45/100 points): Include level decoration, the use of tiles. And if this level is interesting, fascinating and chellenging, etc.



3.Other (30/100 points): Mistakes, bugs and warm tips. If there is any bugs that can't let me pass the level, I'll reduce a lot of points..



Final rating:
0-29 = 1 star
25-59 = 2 stars

60-74 = 3 stars
75-84 = 4 stars
85-100 = 5 stars



I'll continue updating these rules and I'll use these rules to rate levels.
