## What is World of Goo Remastered?

Available exclusively for Netflix members.

They're squirmy and curious! Drag and drop living Goo Balls to build everything from bridges to giant tongues in this physics-based puzzle game.

The millions of Goo Balls that live in the beautiful World of Goo are curious to explore — but they don't know that they're in a game, or that they're extremely delicious. Connect the Goo Balls to build a wide range of jiggly architecture, including: bridges, cannonballs, and zeppelins.  

This award-winning game, made entirely by two guys, has been praised for its "ingenious-level design" by IGN and named "Game of the Year" by TouchArcade and Metacritic. Be prepared to be charmed by the weird and wonderful World of Goo. 

Features:

• Mysterious Levels: Each level is strange and dangerously beautiful, introducing new puzzles and areas — and the creatures that live in them.

• A Diverse World of Goo Balls: Along the way, undiscovered new species of Goo Ball, each with unique abilities, come together to ooze through reluctant tales of discovery, love, surveillance, beauty, electric power, and the third dimension.

• The Sign Painter: Someone is watching you.

• Build the Tallest Tower in World of Goo Corporation's Mysterious Sandbox: World of Goo Corporation is contractually obligated to state that everyone is a winner and is enthusiastic to celebrate everyone's tower building opportunities equally.

Updates for the Netflix edition: 

• Hi-Res Art for the Modern Age: The original art for this game was designed to look excellent on screens of years past; it's now updated to double the original resolution for a remastered gameplay experience. The Netflix edition also includes support for modern screen sizes. 

• Save Your Progress: Play on your phone or mobile device and track your advancement with cloud save. Each Netflix profile will track progress separately.

### 5/5 — NOSTALGIC!

*2026-07-10*

I used to watch my dad play World of Goo on the Wii all the time back then with my little siblings. Coming back to this game after all these years is incredibly nostalgic!!! and it still functions exactly how I remember it.

The music, the physics, the artwork… 

This game never fails to entertain me and keep me busy. There’s no ads or micro transactions which is a relief. Just the game I remember.

World of Goo is without a doubt fun for kids and adults! maybe even your cat or parrot! Whether you enjoy physics based puzzles, creative problem solving, or just want a charming game to relax with, I highly recommend giving this game a try!

**Developer response:** We’re happy to hear you’re enjoying the game! We appreciate hearing players' feedback on what we are doing well and areas where we can enhance.

### 4/5 — Needs sound settings feature

*2026-04-25*

This app lacks a volume setting on the iPhone app. I could turn the phone volume off, however that doesn’t work if I want to listen to other music while playing. It seems like a simple feature that should’ve added. I shouldn’t have to make global adjustments to accommodate a game. Otherwise a great game and very enjoyable.

### 1/5 — Sad

*2026-02-18*

The original world of Goo didn’t require a sign in. We own the world of goo on one of my family members phones but it no longer is available for download because it came out before the App Store. Cant you just make the new stuff locked behind the sign in and leave the main game up for free?

### 3/5 — Just why

*2026-02-11, version 1.0.24101811*

Why hasn’t anyone figured out that people just want to buy something outright then pay for a subscription

### 2/5 — Chapter 4 struck

*2026-01-09*

Loved the game but i cant get past the chapter 4 last stage - Mom's Computer stage! 
Please fix it

### 3/5 — My Problems

*2026-01-03*

The game is incredibly fun, it’s unique, it has a fun progression and has incredible story telling. There’s even a side mission to reach the top. The problem, I had made it to the final level, about to beat it, then, my iPad died. Oh well, that’s too bad. So I waited for a few minutes, logged back on world of goo, and ALL of my progress had been deleted. Every single bit.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2025-12-30, version 1.0.24101811*

Requires a Netflix sign in to play and I’m not dealing with all that.

### 1/5 — Netflix kills good products

*2025-12-16, version 1.0.24101811*

Return me original World of goo! This is cheap variant of original game

### 1/5 — Break from Netflix

*2025-12-06, version 1.0.24101811*

I don't wanna be charged MONTHLY to play this game

### 1/5 — Netflix sucks

*2025-12-06, version 1.0.24101811*

Paying a Netflix subscription just for this game is not worth it
