  1. Another way of doing this is to grab a red goo, toss it threw the fire, and have it bounce of the wall, hitting the bomb. The bomb will catch on fire and fall onto the head. It may take a couple tries and some luck, but I think this method is easier (for me at least).

  2. My sticky bomb is held on by a red not a green goo ... therefore, I can't drop the sticky bomb after I wake them up. Any ideas??

  3. I found a way to complete the bombing without joining the flamable blobs with the bomb.
    You just have to light the bomb by dropping it over a flame, then you quickly click back on it to get control and stick it back to the head as fast as you can. I think it's not supposed to be like this but it's the fastest way i found to complete.

  4. You helped me solve this! After watching your video, finally exploded the head. I had touched the game since Thanksgiving because I couldn't get past this darned level. Thank you.

  6. So am I the only megalomaniac dunce who solved it by building TWO semicircular bridges on the sides of the head, then making them collapse one against the other, AND sticking a reddie right in the middle to form a circular foundation for a straight spire to the bomb?

    Managed to do it on the first run, actually, but I'll NEVER try it again...

    1. Something about the symmetry of the level suggests it somehow, I think :D

  7. My bomb was held on by a red ball. Just build a slim tower til you can get it to attach to the bomb with one red ball. Set it off; grab the bomb as soon as it lights; attach to head. As long as your tower isn't too huge you should have enough goo balls left to get OCD. It took me a while, but I got it.

  8. @ Anonymous that's exactly how I've been solving it; building two towers that combine above the head.. but I couldn't find any possible way to get even close to OCD doing it that way.

  9. @ the anonymouses:

    I was trying to do it with two towers but gave up because of the tedium. I play the game on a Wii and I think I may be sitting too far away from the TV or something...I don't have nearly the kind of control I've seen people have on YouTube vids.

  11. I found the best way to collect a maximum of Goo.
    I have collected 86 goo (0CD+37) in 3 moves.

  13. nah...
    i solved it using two semicircular bridges on the sides of the head, then making them collapse one against the other, AND sticking a reddie right in the middle to form a circular foundation for a straight spire to the bomb

  14. Ye i did two bridges at both sides of the head too, and tried to make it as stable as i cud, then i ran out of goo >_<;;

  15. I managed 72 by gathering all the gooballs onto the structure under the head and then bouncing balls through the fire up to the bomb. It took me maybe 10 or 15 tries to get a ball lit and up to the bomb.

  16. Dang, how did u do that oh, by the way, I am on ch.4 and I got the game yesteday

  17. are you acually doing this or is it just a computer generated video that has been made to look like you did it. I know that it is very unlikely but it is so unbelivable.

  18. How did you reset all the time? when you made a mistake?

  19. Thanks hundredfire (if you're still reading this!). I made a more secure tower like the video but with four more goos at the sides to make it stable and easy to reach and connect to the bomb. Then pull the bomb onto the fragment at the right, and a few red goos to set alight to the fragment. Then when the bomb catches fire quickly move it to the head. Can then build from the tower to the pipe in a couple of goos. Finished with OCD and 50 goos.

  20. I am playing this on Steam for Mac. I had thought that the winning strategy would probably to be two towers and get them to collapse towards each other and link them together. I managed to do that a couple of times, but to get them tall enough and stable enough not to break down just getting the arch build takes every single red goo ball. I can't picture getting a single tower high enough before it falls, but I guess you don't have to actually reach the green goo ball to wake it up, just get close enough. The red matchstick structures start to wobble and sway like crazy. I guess the idea is that you have to work very quickly before they start to flop over. Oh, and it looks like luck must be a factor since the swaying seems to kick in semi-randomly. At least this shows me that it can be done, even if it takes a lot of retries.

  24. Managed to get OCD but I found it easier to move all of the spare red goos to above the bomb. Although being slower this has a few advantages as the tower is more stable with fewer goos moving around it, easier to build as you reach the bomb, if the tower catches fire, no spare goos are destroyed.
