Southpeak Interactive have announced they will be releasing a new Puzzle game to the XBLA, titled Roogoo! Developed by Spidermonk Entertainment, Roogoo uses geometric shapes and rotating discs to craft a frenetic puzzle game framed within an imaginative storyline and a fantasy universe.
Roogoo tasks players with guiding meteors in the form of shaped blocks though a series of rotating disks as a means of saving the planet Roo and the entire Roogoo race. If aligned correctly, the disks allow the blocks to reach the ground and scores are awarded. However, it’s not as easy as simply rotating the disks to form a neat tunnel. Various obstacles and enemies will impede the blocks’ transit and with the flow of meteor blocks steadily increasing as the game progresses, players will have to think on their feet to save the Roogoo and rack up seriously high scores.
“Roogoo is a rare breed of puzzle game that combines compulsive play with an engaging storyline and a wonderful fantasy world,” said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak Games. “With its accessible game play, unique charm and high production values, Roogoo is set to carve its own niche when released for Xbox LIVE Arcade and PC. Gamers will definitely have loads of fun mastering its unusual depth and trying to become the guru of Roogoo.”
The apparently intend to release this in Spring this year, but like the many other games that should be coming our way soon it may be a while - it's all up to Microsoft.
Included are two pictures of the game, which you can see here. Team Xbox also has some artwork of the game which you can see below. It's got a very nice style to it, even thought it may be trying a little too much to appeal to a younger demographic, but the artwork seems to show a darker side to the game they've yet to show off. Certainly didn't stop Peggle anyhow!
Hey, it's a brand new puzzle game for the XBLA! It's great people are trying new stuff!
