I played this game a long time ago and it was a lot of fun.
I can't imagine there are more family-friendly casual games available right now.

Played this Game on my Desktop and the time when it was released there was not many platformers with such a great detail on 2d physics. The game has so many levels that you get to clear and get completion tag as a acheivement. The levels are not very hard and dont demand your impulses and compulses to get 100%... still there is challenge and your time as well as some stress can be handled.
Graphics
The game is 2D game which has good details on game objects, there are translucant game object and game effect which blends with backgound nicely. The colors on these game objects as well as background can convay good amount of situation as well as atmosphere of level. The textures on objects of certain gameplay feature are indicative such that you can get a idea, for example black goo balls are simple entity where gray when picked by mouse shows effect of pull on certain other gray ball, green shows similar effect towards black, gray or other green balls of removable attachment. pink is also passive where red ones are explosive. chain-reaction with combination of these balls of goo is also convayed nicely. Wind efect is also nice with indication on direction.
Physics
It has realistic physics on goo balls such that it falls, rolls and bounces with deform on certain surfaces. Structure that we build to clear level has bridge building characteristic and we need to understand atleast a basic knowledge on whether certain iteration of user's imagination of bridge, overpass or platform structure is stable or not. then level can get cleared very easily. structure deforms as well on certain levels with enviornmental effects. The pulls that is programmed on goo balls with physics engine is very similar to springs... and visible to great extent when there is a level of hanged figure, item or puzzle that require building a hanging structure. Tower building is also involved to reach a certain height and goal destination.
Gameplay
Goo balls can be picked, thrown and moved with mouse. The 2D physics engines Laws greatly provide realistice behavior on these items. The drag and drop moves is used to build, solve these physics puzzles. There are bugs-Entities on game level which when used, undo's a previous move and error can be corrected with flashy quick screen effect. Timing is also taken in notice to give 100% completion Tag but always it is not neccessory to progess and experience the story of this game. The levels are populated with sign-boards that provide Hints, messages, story quotes and statements to smartguys then level can get cleared with good focus and game experience...
Sound
The sound on these game is addictive and can provide you focus to solve a puzzle... Atleast i have not experinced a situation where i need to mute the sound track to clear the clutter and noice to be on puzzle solving... still some times backgound enviornment's clutter is more satisfying than actual sound track. once i liked no sound track, peace-full scenario to solve a challenge.
Overall It is a Great game with physics to experience and dosent need great hardware configuration to play...
