* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Basically the entire soundtrack; it makes little balls of goo with eyeballs ''absolutely epic.'' Available for free from the artist at [https://web.archive.org/web/20180707225623/http://kylegabler.com/WorldOfGooSoundtrack/
** Later levels the music may reach [[Tear Jerker]] proportions.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2zSy9S5osQ&hd=1 Best of Times] is this troper's favorite song.

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: By the end of the first chapter you'll likely be pondering the mental stability of the game's writer.
