World of Goo

World of Goo is a ground-breaking physics-based puzzle/construction game.
The millions of Goo Balls that live in the beautiful World of Goo don’t know that they are in a game, or that they are extremely delicious.
Born out of the Experimental Gameplay Project, World of Goo is an extension of the gameplay prototype (and web hit) Tower of Goo.

2DBoy is a brave new indie game studio based in San Francisco, making games the old fashioned way- a team of two, no money, and a whole lot of “love”.
Their goal is to make games that everyone can play with gameplay that nobody has seen before.
2DBoy is a core team of two guys, Ron Carmel and Kyle Gabler. Their swanky San Francisco office is whichever free wi-fi coffee shop they wander into on any given day
Kyle Gabler is one of the guys behind the Experimental Gameplay project, and recently a game design and magic rapid prototype with Maxis & EA
Ron Carmel was previously a game developer with EA’s pogo.com. Before that, he developed visual fx software and immersive haptic simulations
Together, they are the unstoppable force that is the indie revolution.
