Few quirky puzzlers make it into the spotlight. The last one to come my way was Katamary Damacy, and that was a while ago.
What you have here, is a humourous, clever, inventive, novel concept, which never fails to make you smile or let out that gasp of realisation once you've figured out what you're supposed to do.
The concept is fantastic. Simple but brilliant. What Indie Gaming does best, I suppose. Apparently this is the brainchild of just two fellas. Kudos to them
Sadly, it only seems to play in 800x600, but once you get playing, that really won't matter to you anymore.
The soundtrack is perfect. Ranging from hushed background bops while you try and maneuver a tricky structure in some bizzare way, to epic, faux-orchestrated arias while you build an almost impossibly long bridge to reunite two different groups of Goo.
Casual puzzlers, in my experience, rarely get better than this. I've not grinned so much since Portal
