There is some info about this at /opt/WorldOfGoo/linux-issues.txt, though I should probably mention that this is an unsupported feature that probably doesn't work for everybody.

MULTIPLE MICE SUPPORT

As an unsupported feature, the Linux version of World of Goo can be played
with up to four players at a time, each using a separate mouse. In order to
use this feature, edit config.txt and change the "manymouse" parameter value
from "false" to "true".

Furthermore, the mouse event devices for the mice to be used must be readable
by the user running World of Goo. An easy way to set this up (assuming udev
is used for the /dev filesystem) is to execute (as the root user):

  chmod a+r /dev/input/by-id/*event-mouse

Note that this change is not permanent (permissions are reset when the system
is rebooted) and may compromise user privacy on multi-user systems.

Hehe, yeah, it's fun, though contrary to my expectations it doesn't make the game any easier, especially since you can pick up the goo ball another player is holding.... It doesn't help that one player controls the scrolling either. Utter chaos! (But fun!)

We tried to do the Super Fuse Challenge Time with three players, dividing the screen in three parts, but we never got the OCD.
