now with better controls and bug fixes!
A demake of World of Goo in Pico-8, a physics puzzler where you build giant towers of goo to reach dusty metal pipes.
A proper modding tutorial will be released soon, it's fairly easy to figure out yourself.
This game uses my complex background editor - https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=142282
- Press Z/RMB to hum and lead goo balls
- Hold X/LMB to pick up and drag goo balls
- Use MOUSE/ARROW KEYS to move the cursor
- Press W/SHIFT to skip a level (I won't judge)
Amazing! Funniest story, I was trying to 100% legally access world of goo but it wasn't working, so I headed over to the next best place (CoolMaths Games), but then thought "Why not partake in Pico-8?" and voila, this work of art. Goes to show creative poeple can be with Pico. Keep up the 2008 indie game references!
ive updated it to make focusing the cursor on stuff more reliable, and changed some goo behaviors
I remember playing this on my Amiga back in my high school years, and you're telling me they pulled it off on the PICO? I didn't even know the PICO-8 even had a mouse for it
(seriously though, this is pretty sick)
Really fun! I will say though in the balloon stage you can delete pieces off the side of the screen if you drag them the right way.
And the cursor while charming is really big and distracting (especially trying to grab the tiny goo balls) a crosshair or a pico mouse I'd prefer but that's just me
fixed mobile support, added music, and added a new level!

I only just found out about this. It's so cool, very well done!!
Very Awesome game, please make more levels. I had a blast playing this Masterpiece.
im busy with different projects, id recommend people interested in more levels to look into custom ones! the system for levels is absurdly simple, and all the parameters in the level table are commented!
Amazing to see all of this on Pico. I've always loved "Ode to the Bridge Builder," wonderful cover of it here.
My first playthrough:
Thanks! So much fun. (Took a minute to figure out what to do.) What an interesting an novel mechanic. Great job!
As someone who has not played the original, I have been really enjoying this game. thank you for making it! I usually play on a handheld device and don't have access to the w/shift key to jump ahead to the level I was last on. Is there a way to implement this feature with standard controls such as select+left or something similar? thanks again!
It uses the second player's input to skip levels, so if you were to connect a second controller it should work, I'm not very knowledgeable on it though
