what's the storyline/main goal of the game

[flooblies]

i'm not really sure what's the goal of the gooballs or any living being in the game, the only thing i can tell from the endings of every chapter, the gooballs are tired of the world that they are on, and want to go to another world.

You seem to have completely missed the innuendo

the games plot description is anti-industry and anti-beauty. essentially you work for the world of goo corp while you go around guiding goo balls to mysterious, alluring pipes only for them to be sucked in and used for beauty products and energy drinks. as you get near the end you slowly start driving the species to extinction so they escape to a new planet, and world of goo corp knows about it probably due to the telescope.

oh ok

It's basically "Big Corporation Bad" (ironically the game has been distributed via big corpos such as Valve and Nintendo).

I guess that it's also an allegory to natural ressources (as the goo balls are kinda like petroleum) and about how information is being spread and monitored.

But even if you follow the game's story without its subtext it's quite an enjoyable journey.

More like draining the world from its ressources is bad.

so your argument here is 'destroying all the resources of the planet is good, actually'???

At the end all goos are freed and the Corporation is destroyed.
