World of Goo: Difference between revisions

* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: It would be difficult to tell the different species of goo apart without this.

* [[Cosmetic Award]]: The very-appropriately named "OCD" goals of each level.

* [[Cutscene]]

* [[Cyberspace]]: "Information Superhighway," an entire chapter dedicated to programming jokes and [[New Media Tropes]]

* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: A sinister, polluting, extinction-causing [[Mega Corp]] versus a crazed, identity-stealing spambot.

* [[Gainax Ending]]: Every chapter.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: The goo balls often mention game-related facts, according to the sign pianter and the narrator.

* [[Real Is Brown]]: Parodied -- after updating the "graphics card" in Chapter 4, most of the subsequent levels contain nothing but grays, browns, and bloom.

* [[Puzzle Pan]]

** There are also shout-outs to non-games: for instance, the above-mentioned [[Dialogue Tree]] includes the classic [[Glory Days]] exchange from the film ''[[Sunset Boulevard]]''.

** [[Memetic Mutation|They tightened up the graphics in level three]]

** A sign in "Ode to the Bridge-Builder" references the song "O Superman" by Laurie Anderson. Also Bridge Builder is one of the Chroniclogic's physics-based construction series. ODE is actually a physics engine ''World Of Goo'' is largely based on.
