Pros
Pro Great variety in puzzles
A lot of attention has been put into creating interesting levels with great pacing and variety throughout the game.
Pro Beautiful visual style
World of Goo is pleasing to look at. Most of the time it's very colorful and joyful, but it changes from time to time to reflect different parts of the world. Nevertheless, it is stylistically well presented throughout the game.
Pro A twisted tale
As you start playing there doesn't seem to be much of a story. A few philosophical messages left behind by the Sign Painter and a cut-scene here or there. But as you progress through the game you unearth different details about a slightly disturbing world.
Pro Good, funny music
Each level has good and very funny music.
Pro Excellent physics engine
Physics in-game take into account gravity, wind, weight of different goo-balls, structural integrity of your architectural solutions to create an addictive, "let me try this one more time"-type of gameplay.
Pro Gameplay based on physics and chemistry
Puddle is a physics based game that also uses aspects of chemistry and physics in its gameplay. For example, you'll have to deal with factors such as temperature, gravity and friction in order to complete a puzzle.
Pro Beautiful graphics
From the different environments to all of the different liquids in the game, everything looks very striking. The +-edition can take full advantage of the powerful processing chips in newer devices, for extra visual eye-candy. The design of each environment is distinctive and beautifully rendered.
Pro Support for Apple TV
Puddle+ is also compatible with the Apple TV system and is perfectly playable on a large screen with adapted Apple TV controls.
Cons
Con No co-op mode
The PC version does not include the co-op mode that was included in the Wii Ware version.
Con Lack of communication in levels
Apart from quickly explaining the game's mechanics, Puddle+ doesn't warn the player adequately for incoming threats. There are a lot of spots in the different levels where you lose a significant amount of your puddle for a small communication mistake that could've been avoided.
Con HDR graphics setting buggy
The newly added HDR graphics setting is bugged in that the fluid in game does not appear when used.
