Was Tower of Goo an early version of this game? You had to build a tower out of a finite number of blobs (duh) without them collapsing, the higher the better. Libertango was playing as the background music.

I know this as a mini-game that's part of world of goo.

Yeah, I remember this trending as a sort of freeware/demo too. More info: https://worldofgoo.fandom.com/wiki/Tower_of_Goo_(game) https://worldofgoo.fandom.com/wiki/Tower_of_Goo_(game)

Tower of goo was the proof-of-concept. I believe it was made in a game jam type environment. It was popular enough they made a more fleshed out game out of the concept. "world of goo". tower of goo remains as a minigame in world of goo.

Yes! I find it funny that you're asking this, the original World of Goo having released almost 15 years ago (the one linked above is the remake) and probably one of the most popular/well known indie games of that era :) It reminds me a few years ago when talking about Battlestar Galactica one of my coworkers at some point said "wait, they did a remake of battlestar galactica?" - this whole time he thought we were talking about the original 70s show, who he was a fan of and didn't realize (a decade+ after it was released) that the BSG everyone was talking about was a remake.
