Tower of GOOO

Hi, here is a game for you to play online. It is called 'tower of goo' and for a good reason - you build the tower by attaching the goo together. If it is badly constructed, the gravity affecting the tower will make the building flop to the ground like a blob of goo. The idea that gravity is affecting the tower makes the game fun and challenging, but how fun is it really? how successful do you think it is?

Concept

Description: You are on a small island with a small village. A huge storm is
taking place. Stop your boat/friend from drifting into the sea by gathering people
from the village until the storm calms.
You are to ask the villager's help, and manage them. Each person has varied
manpower. The bigger they are the more manpower they have, so the longer
they last as a helper. if there are more than 1 helper, the speed of each
individual's manpower are used up will be reduced by half (because less effort is
needed.)
As wind speed change you will need to reorganise the helpers।

Concept: Command, and organise the villagers who will be pulling back the boat
against the wind strength।

Objective: to stop the boat from drifting into the sea, by pulling the rope that is
attached to the boat।

Aim:
1. sustain the boat until the storm calms by asking for enough helpers of the 10
villagers on the island. If there are more helpers than needed, man power will be
wasted।

2. Avoid drowning the village helpers. The person in the front will fall into the sea
and drown if he has no more manpower. Therefore it is important that the first
helper has enough manpower।
