Each level has its own graphical and musical theme, giving it unique atmosphere. The game is divided into five chapters, each containing several levels. The game is built around the idea of creating large structures using balls of Goo. On November 11 2008, 2D Boy announced that World of Goo will be released as WiiWare in Europe, instead of a retail release. It was released for the Wii's WiiWare in North America on October 13, 2008.
