World of Goo Soundtrack up for Grabs
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009 at 1:19pm by Will
Kyle Gabler, co-founder of 2D boy and the composer and artist for the World of Goo; has recently released the games soundtrack for free on his portfolio page due to the overwhelming response from the fans to get their hands on a copy of it.
Thank you to everyone who emailed asking about a World of Goo Soundtrack. This is probably as close to an “official” soundtrack I’ll ever make for the game World of Goo. I’m making it available here on my personal portfolio for free. I wrote much of this music specifically for the game, but many of the tracks were excerpts from music I had written previously for various small projects, or just for fun. This soundtrack includes the full versions of most of those songs, as best as I was able to recover them. Notes accompany the tracks below.
If you have not actually tried or played the game yet, do yourself a favor and check out their website. You can download the soundtrack by clicking the link below.

For those of you with the PC version, you might be able to find these on your installation folder/res/music. They’re ogg files so they can be played with most media players.

Thats really cool! I still haven’t played this yet, waiting for a storage solution before I buy anything else. I hate cleaning the fridge.

Holy crap, I am so glad he did this. I used to feel that Mario Galaxy had one of the most epic soundtracks ever, but this just blows it away honestly. And the fact that one of the best songs was made with people huddled around a microphone banging on chairs and cardboard just makes it even better.

This is amazing, I just got it onto my iPod!!!!
This is probably my favorite WiiWare game and it comes second only to Brawl out of all my Wii games. The music makes the game even better.

First off: BRAVO, Kyle Gabler, BRAVO for a fantastic soundtrack.
But I just feel that, in a way, out of place with the whole genre of the game that being a puzzle game. The sound of it all is just plain ‘ol EPIC, but I keep thinking, “This is from a puzzle game?” Yes, I haven’t bought it, just tried the demo and really didn’t care about it because I wasn’t interested in a puzzle game.

Just because it’s a puzzle game, doesn’t mean it can’t have an epic soundtrack. (See: Meteos)
