I'm generally a bit averse to asking for help, but I'm totally at a loss here, and everyone else seems to be sliding right by it.  At first I thought that you were supposed to pile goo on top of the block to push it down, and tried that to no effect.  Only other thing I could think of was to rock the block back and forth with a structure extending to both sides and luring the loose goo around with the whistle, but that didn't work either. ???

Keep piling Goo sky high on the block, it'll go down eventually. Build directly above it.

Heh, I must have not waited long enough the first time.  Thanks.

Red Carpet almost made me cry the first time I played it. Before then i'd been playing a long with a 'we don't leave our gooballs behind' policy, and Red Carpet just smashed it into a thousand pieces. Those gooballs trusted me dammit! and i led them to their deaths! and.. and.. *sob*

For some reason the music on that level reminded me of Saving Private Ryan. Don't know why, it just did. Which made it even more heart wrenching.

I loved the music on that level- it was epic.

That chapter baffled me too.
Even when I moved every last goo on to the switch (without building a tower, i just placed them on the existing frame) it wouldnt move.

So I had to find another way...
I built under the ledge that was holding back the beauty goo and forced it up... :p
A great thing about physics games is there is often more than one solution. :)

Our QA guy found a way to complete the level without killing any balls except for the initial structure.

haha hadn't thought of trying that one, although I didn't really have that objective in mind when I played first time.

Remember guys: Goo weighs more when it's connected!

Does anyone know how this weight increase is calculated? I've wondered about these options, but it's pretty hard experimenting to find which is right:
- each ball of connected goo weighs a fixed amount, which is more than unconnected goo balls
- each connection "strut" weighs a fixed amount in itself, which would account for the extra weight
- each connection "strut" weighs an amount varying according to its length
...or some combination of the above?

Nice, found it as well :D

Following up on that, I'm working on a proof of concept that it can be done without killing any goos. I've got 2 different strategies, both viable and extremely difficult.
