Well just got my download :) Thanks Kyle/Ron/2DBOY !!!

I seem to be able to post in the game to the leaderboards.. however ... where are the leaderboards? :)

Leaderboards will go live this week. Make sure to submit your level stats! They are all being collected, just not displayed yet.

If possible could you fix the "fastest time" category. If you don't know what I'm talking about ask Marius. I'm not good at explaining it. Also instead of having four seperate categories can you do it by "priorities" that the user could pick. For example I could go in and pick "sort by amount of gooballs collected" and then sort the people who tied by "number of moves" and then sort those further by "fastest time" and then "most recent." Also a least recent/oldest option would be useful.

He means the point that in the beta if you re-completed a level with a faster time, it would still register it with your first time ever made. But I assume it's fixed in the new leaderboard, so I'm just waiting until it's online :)

I hate how the OCD for drool is 24 goo balls- I'm too lazy to actually put forth the effort and do it.

:) That's not the maximum by far though.

*wants the leaderboard as well*

Well, yesterday I somehow hit the no1 spot again. I think that someone has overtaken me since then, but theres no way to check as my tower will collapse as soon as i go back into wogco and there isn't an online leaderboard yet.

Oh well, I'm happy just thinking I'm number one.

PS: Marius, i'm only at about 31 metres at the moment, feel free to smash it  ;).

Haven't put any effort in the WoGC yet; I've only downloaded the game this morning (EST) and I'm doing the difficult levels atm.

I just got OCD on the vast majority of Cog in the Machine. Upper Shaft is a B**ch.

I'm sad to say it, but I'm still stumped on Tower of Goo.

Excellent! Now I can watch it epically collapse and not worry about my leaderboard position!

I sincerely apologise but I'm afraid I adopted Marius's vertical hexagon tactic and it's really quite stable, barely even sways in the breeze...

I too use vertical hexagons, but i came up with the design seperately from (and i believe a short time before) marius. Just shows that great minds think alike!

I've thought of a new tactic, which, I think, makes longer connections, and goes up vertically, but I'm not quite sure how strong  it is, and how to reduce the size (since it's vertical and all...).
So yeah, I'm not yet top of the leaderboard :)

I currently have roughly 1020 gooballs, I believe. Lots of levels still need to be optimized. Anyone with more?

No idea how many I have. Never checked.

Just check out the proper cloud in WoGC

Hi All

Newb Damon F here!  Just got my download this morning and completed Chapter 1.  WOW!  What a game, many thanks 2d.  :)

When are the leaderboards up?

Yeah, I tried that too...  but "a couple of seconds" is actually about 100ms.  Argh!  I'll keep trying...

Just sit on a hot stove. Then 100 ms can seem like minutes! (Einstein said so.)

Are you unable to beat the level, or unable to beat the OCD challenge? Because if it's the first, I might be able to make you a pic which you can try to build, which might work...

It's the first.  I've tried both quickly building upwards (as the sign painter recommends) and also building a wide-based Eiffel Tower-like structure.  Inevitably they both fall.

Is there anything that can be done once a tower is wavering to settle it down?  My reaction is normally to start throwing gooballs on the opposite side to attempt to restore balance.  Often it works, but it consumes a LOT of goo.  A lot of times it just makes matters worse.  Is there some basica game mechanic that I am failing to grasp?

Thanks!

Why would throwing consume goo? You can still use them after you throw them... You just need to make sure they don't make a new connection.
You could try making a pyramid, then building a lean tower quickly from the top of that.
