SouthPeak Games today released screens and official box art for its upcoming Roogoo games for Nintendo platforms — Twisted Towers on Wii and Attack! on Nintendo DS. Both are due to release this year.
Developed by SpiderMonk Entertainment, Roogoo first appeared last June as a $10.00 downloadable Xbox Live Arcade and Windows title. A simple puzzle game, the objective of Roogoo is to guide various falling shapes through matching holes in a series of rotating disks.
Twisted Towers offers a cooperative multiplayer mode throughout the entire game, and Attack! features single and multi-card multiplayer on the Nintendo DS. Both games are based on the original Roogoo.
Twisted Towers and Attack! feature wireless Wii-to-DS connectivity, allowing players to unlock additional levels in each of the versions.

“meh. looks like a cell phone game.”
Spidermonk originally specialized in cell phone games. I was working there at the time they began console work (summer 2005) and preproduction on the original Roogoo. The owner/big cheese (I guess you can call him that…it’s not a very big company at all) Scott March (very cool guy) is a very experienced game developer and has a lot of foresight. Roogoo has excellent game design. The constraints of cell phone games often lead to creative and nicely focused game designs. I didn’t get to work on Roogoo, personally, but it sure was cool to see it come to full fruition last year. I look forward to seeing other ideas of Scott’s go all the way. The industry needs more indy goodness like Spidermonk.

Correction: I meant Summer of 2006, not ‘05.

This game’s art style reminds me a lot of Zelda: Wind Waker. It’s got the same color palette.
