Crayola got Nothin' on This
by Peter on Mar.02, 2009, under Opinions, PC, Review
What is this you ask? This is Crayon Physics. You’ve probably played games that involved physics before, but like this? I think not. Crayon Physics (not a really smooth name), takes a normal physics game and add a nice childish twist onto it, and I’m absolutely fond of it.
In another article I stated that my personal game of the year was World of Goo, and there’s a reason for that, I’m a sucker for games involving thinking and physics, and those are the two things that CP Crayon Physics have a lot of. If you go into this game doing random stuff then you’ll find yourself lost and probably frustrated. The reason being is now you have the freedom to do whatever the hell you want with your situation. You wanna draw a penis bridge? Do it, you can draw anything you want as long as it doesn’t exceed the amount of lines you are allowed to have in the game, and that amount is pretty high.
Word to the Goo

I mentioned in another article that World of Goo was my personal game of the year. Now I’m not the only one that has that point of view because World of Goo truley is an amazing experience. This physics-based building game was created by 2D-Boy, which is made up of two people, and as an indie game, it’s one of the best out there right now.
When I first bought World of Goo on the Wii Shop (after hearing about it from some friends), I thought it wouldn’t be that spectacular. I mean how much fun can you have if all you’re doing is building towers to get goo balls into pipes? The answer: a whole lot. The game progresses in such a way that even if you get frustrated with one of the levels, you’ll keep trying and trying out of sheer satisfaction. One of the great things about World of Goo that as you start the game doesn’t give you any instructions, it just starts you out and says “here are some balls, get to it” , and because you have only your intuition and brains to go on, victory is that much sweeter.
