The World is divided into four chapters and an epilogue. Each chapter contains several stages (chapter 1 consists of 12 alone) and branching paths give you some choice as to what order you tackle everything. Most levels provide hints in the form of signs that have been left by an enigmatic Sign Painter. After you've fulfilled a stage's quota you can continue trying to wrangle additional goo balls into the goal. Excess balls spill over into a very cool leaderboard system.
After completing chapter 1's second level you'll unlock the World of Goo Corporation. This is an area that can be accessed at any time and stores all your excess goo balls. In the distance you'll see clouds that represent other players and display their country's flag. The idea is you stack your extra balls into a tower that epitomizes your skill in the game. Your tower will show up as a cloud in other players' games. 2D Boy says the clouds will constantly be refreshed, displaying the 10 most recent postings. A separate website will be available after the game launches to track the best players. Of course, your Wii does need to be connected online to take advantage of the leaderboards.
