World of Goo is coming to mobile as a remastered version, exclusively on Netflix

Adding to the growing lineup of games in its roster, Netflix has announced that World of Goo, developer 2D BOY's indie game, is coming to iOS and Android as a remastered version on May 23rd. The title will be exclusively available to Netflix subscribers only, and will let players enjoy the 2008 hit without any pesky ads or predatory in-app purchases.

In World of Goo, players can go on a physics-based journey across an award-winning puzzle game as they uncover more Goo Balls and explore beautifully mysterious levels. Every Goo Ball will boast its own unique skills - plus, players can also flex their creative muscles by building towers with the World of Goo Corporation.

The remastered version of the game will feature modernised artwork as well as an improved resolution that's optimised for various screen sizes. Support for cloud saves will be available as well, so players can craft their wiggly architecture from cannonballs to bridges without worrying about losing their progress.
