Pros
Pro Challenging with multiple solutions
Really makes you think and come up with different ideas in order to solve the puzzles. It's simple and fun, with great aha! moments. For example, you can draw multiple structures in order to get a ball from point A to point B.
Pro Fair monetization system
The game is free to download and while there are in-app purchases, they are certainly not required to progress naturally in the game. Levels are unlocked in groups of five, and if you manage to complete four of these five levels, the next set of levels is unlocked. If you're stuck, you can watch a video advertisement in order to receive a hint. Most players won't have to spend money at all to fully complete Brain It On!, but you can pay around $3 to unlock all levels immediately.
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.
Cons
Con A lot of pop-up advertisements
While the in-app purchases for Brain It On! are quite fair, there are still a large amount of pop-up advertisements in the game in the form of banners. This can be distracting while playing the game.
Con Some levels are a bit too hard
Brain it On! is definitely a challenging game with some levels in particular that have a high difficulty level. For example, some challenges require you to take both gravity, physics and shape in mind which can be too chaotic at times.
Con No co-op mode
The PC version does not include the co-op mode that was included in the Wii Ware version.
