If you have a Wii, the only way to get World of Goo is via WiiWare.
If you use Windows, we strongly recommend purchasing it directly from 2D Boy, as this gives you the best set of features and gives the most revenue to the developers. However there are a number of other ways to get the game, and the pros and cons of each are listed below.
If you use a Mac, be careful. The original box sets were made with only the PC version, as the Mac version had not been released at that time. We are unaware of any more recent versions that include the Mac version. Additionally, in Germany, RTL released a box set claiming "PC and Mac compatibility", but only the PC version was included. For this reason we strongly suggest buying from 2D Boy directly.
For Linux, your only option is to purchase the downloadable version from 2D Boy.

Download Gootool, Check tower (to see if it's yours), then click "publish profile".

I purchased World of Goo for my desktop and want to put it on my laptop too. How do I do it?

First, look in your program files for a file called "World Of Goo" (if you are unsure where this is, look here: http://goofans.com/dev/fileformats/profile )
Second, backup your profile on gootool and then find a flash drive.
Third, copy the file onto the flash drive, and transport the file onto your laptop. (put it in "Program Files")
Fourth, go to gootool, login on your profile, and then click "restore all profiles".
If your version of World of goo cannot be copied, then I don't know what to do...

Your tower must be the one of the tallest towers in the world or the tallest tower for the current month unless you follow the steps above here

I can finish the level "Volcanic Percolator Day Spa" with only 8 moves, I still have the photo

By whacking the beauty upwards, then burning the structure? 0 moves is possible if you whack the common square to the pipe.

Hello @James,
Do you know if it's possible to actually install world of goo on a flash drive and then carry it with you anywhere and play it on other computers (but still using your original profile)? http://www.jocurile.us/joaca/jocuri-cu-cai.html http://www.jocurile.us/joaca/jocuri-cu-motociclete.html

Unfortunately it's not. The profile always goes in %LOCALAPPDATA%, so you'd need to redefine that, which would probably screw up all sorts of other programs.

@homeless: Yes, actually, it is. See the "World of Goo Portable" utility: http://goofans.com/download/utility/world-of-goo-portable

I have the Box Version from years and years and years ago I rather not have to buy the game again although I've noticed the game has been updated it seems what do I do?
Fri, 05/24/2019 - 00:54
don't buy the epic games version. It's not worth it. Due to making the files decrypted, it's no longer compatible with goomods.
The graphics are a little better, true, plus some additional content like route 99. But I wouldn't sacrifice the ability to mod the game just for that.
I made goomods.
