Other things like multi-touch support speed up certain aspects of gameplay, but are more a convenience than anything else. On the PC, that problem is much easier to get around. One of the more difficult levels had this problem, where several special goo balls floated among far too many others. Some levels feature tens, or sometimes hundreds of goo balls in a tiny space, and selecting specific goo balls becomes next to impossible. But with a finger, it’s so easy to select by just tapping. With a mouse, it’s simply too precise to get it. Missing a connector and dropping a goo ball, for instance, usually means losing it entirely unless you are fast enough to catch it. But in every other aspect, it’s less capable. Perhaps with even greater precision than a finger. Using a mouse, players can only pick up one goo ball and drop it wherever they want. Why does the touchscreen make it better? It’s faster and easier overall, for starters. ![]() Related: See The Padcaster review that discusses the device that turns your iPad into a mobile production studio Using the iPad’s large capacitive display, grasping goo balls to strategically place is equally based on precision and feel, and the speed in which corrections and changes can be made far surpass that or using a mouse. Now, on the iPad, it’s clear where developer 2D Boy went wrong: they needed a touchscreen. At the time, I couldn’t put my finger on the problem, just that it wasn’t fun or as precise as I’d have liked. Yet when I first purchased the game on the PC, it was uncomfortable, to say the least. Economic efficiency in building is the premise of World of Goo. The more goo left over (and thus the less used), the better the score. Players do so to reach far-off pipes which suck up remaining goo.

World of Goo is one of those excellently done games. And as we’ve seen with several games in the past, those barbaric user interfaces are no match for the elegance and simplicity of a touchscreen, especially when done well. The mouse and keyboard is no longer the prime setup, instead allowing indie developers to get their feet wet before plunging into the bigger, wider world of game development.
