World of Goo

I-World of Goo iwumdlalo obalulekile emlandweni wemidlalo yevidiyo ezimele, indalo elula kakhulu ngomqondo wayo kodwa enzulu kakhulu ngokuyifeza. Ekuseni kwayo, ngumdlalo wephazili osuselwa ku-physics. Isidlali sinikezwa iqoqo lamabhola amancane, anokuphila, i-goo, futhi sabelwe ukwakha izakhiwo—imibhosholo, amabhuloho, nezakhiwo ezinhle—ukuze siqondise amanye amabhola e-goo ethendeni lokuphuma. Izilawuli azifihli lutho, zihlanganisa ukuchofoza nokuhudula ukuxhuma i-goo, kodwa lebu-simplicity ikhombisa inhloko eyinkimbinkimbi neyinselele yemishini. Igravity iyisitha esingapheli nesingenalo uzwelo, futhi yonke into umdlali ayakhayo iyabubula, iyanyikinya, futhi iyazabalaza ngaphansi kwesisindo sayo. Impumelelo idinga ukuqonda okucatshangiwe kwe-engineering yesakhiwo, ukuphathwa kwezinsiza, futhi kaningi, ukuzimisela ukuzama imiklamo enesibindi, engozini. Okukhuphula lo mdlalo ube yinto engaphezu kwama-puzzle ahlakaniphile ukuba kube yinto engakhohlwa ukuyithokoza umuzwa omkhulu wobuntu nesimo. Ubuciko bomdlalo buthakathaka ngendlela eyathandekayo, uhlobo lwe-cartoon oluqhakazile, olugothic olukhumbuza imisebenzi ka-Tim Burton. Amabhola e-goo ngokwawo aveza imizwa, amehlo awo abanzi abonisa ukufuna ukwazi, ukwesaba, nokuzimisela. Abadazulana futhi banomoya njengoba bebekiwe, bakha umsindo oncomekayo futhi ongafunwa kakhulu. Lokhu kutholakala kumazinga ezithunzi kanye nomculo oyingqayizivele owenziwe omunye wabadali bomdlalo, u-Kyle Gabler. Umculo uguquguquka ngokungagwegwesi ukusuka kokudlalayo nokudidayo kuye kokudumele nokudabukisayo, ubeka isimo sengqondo sesahluko ngasinye kahle futhi unikeza isisindo esingalindelekile esenzweni esilula sokwakha umbhoshongo we-goo. Okuhlanganisa i-World of Goo ngokuyigqamisa kakhulu indaba yayo emnandi kodwa esebenza kahle. Indaba ayitshelwa ngokuhamba kwezingxoxo eziningi, kodwa kunalokho ngokusebenzisa imilayezo eyimfihlakalo eshiywe ngumuntu ongavamile owaziwa njengo-Sign Painter. Lezi zibonakaliso zinikeza izinkomba kodwa futhi ziyakhe indaba ye-satirical mayelana nokusetshenziswa, ukuhaha kwezimboni, kanye nokuqhubeka okungapheli kwezinto. Umdlali uhamba ngezihloko ezihlukahlukene, kusuka emadlelweni aluhlaza kuya ezimbonini ezingcolile futhi ekugcineni kuya ku-"Information Superhighway" yedijithali. Isitha yinkampani ye-World of Goo Corporation engenabuso, esingene yonke indawo, efuna ukusebenzisa i-goo ngezinhloso zayo zokuhweba. Leli zingabalo lendaba liyengeza ubunzulu obumangalisayo, luguqula umdlalo ube yincazelo emnene ngomphakathi wesimanje ngaphandle kokuba nentshisekelo noma ukuphazamisa imidlalo yokuxazulula iphazili eyinhloko. Yenziwe yiqembu labantu ababili i-2D Boy, i-World of Goo yayingumlando wokudumelela ngokomdlalo nokuhweba lapho ikhishwa ngo-2008, yaba ngolunye lwezithombe ezikhuthazayo zobuvuselelo bamageyimu ezimele eminyakeni yakamuva ka-2000. Yabonisa ukuthi iqembu elincane elinombono oqinile, oyingqayizivele lingancintisana futhi lidlule ngisho nobuciko bezinkampani ezinkulu. Ithonya layo libonakala emidlalweni eminingi ye-puzzle esekelwe ku-physics eyalandela, kodwa bambalwa abakwazile ukubamba ukuhlanganiswa okufanayo kobuchwepheshe, ubuciko, umsindo, nesihloko. Ngumdlalo ongathuthukisa ingqondo futhi ugcwalise imizwa, ubufakazi bamandla omklamo wokudala ohlala uthandeka futhi udlalekayo namuhla njengoba wawukade unjalo ngesikhathi sawo sokuqala.
