World of Goo

Watch World Of Goo Co-Creator Make His WarioWare MicrogameWarioWare: D.I.Y. lets budding young game designers with short attention spans make their own video games. Sure they may last less than 10 seconds, but that's enough for some. How does professional video game maker Ron Carmel do?


Carmel is one half of the team that made the WiiWare and PC indie hit World of Goo, co-founder of 2D Boy. What does he do when give the microgame making toolbox that is WarioWare: D.I.Y.? Well, he makes a blink and you'll miss it spin on his own game, titled "Suck Goo!"


It's about as simplistic as a WarioWare game can get—one tap and you're done—but it's also a good illustration of the style one can bring to their do-it-yourself creations.



Carmel's "Suck Goo!" is available for download to your copy of WarioWare: D.I.Y. starting today, part of Nintendo's celebrity-made microgame giveaways.
