![]() RED CARPET WORLD OF GOO FULLIn the interest of full disclosure I should note that I know Kyle Gabler. I believe videogames are a complex medium that merits such careful interpretation and insightful analysis. I’m curious to develop and define a literacy of games as well as a sense of their value as an experience, and braiding these three threads together provides a thorough analysis of the game. Sequences from the game will be analyzed in detail in order to illustrate and interpret how the various components of the game come together to create a fulfilling playing experience that leads to a literacy and mastery of the gameplay mechanics.

In the spring of 2005, an experimental game was prototyped in seven days.
