Strangely though, there hasn’t been any gossip about a possible comeback for a number of months.

Receiving Critical Acclaim and Awards at E3 2009, RoogooTM Features Interactive Puzzles and Invigorating Gameplay

MIDLOTHIAN, VA – July 2, 2009 – SouthPeak Games today announced the release of two new additions to the growing family of their addicting, fast-paced Roogoo™ series: Roogoo™ Twisted Towers for Wii™ and Roogoo™ Attack! for Nintendo DS™. The latest games provide fun for the entire family as only quick reflexes and thinking can save Planet Roo from the vicious Prince Moo and his wicked Meemoo followers.

Roogoo™ Twisted Towers and Roogoo™ Attack! follow the delightfully endearing Roogoos through colorful (and Meemoo infested) worlds as they fight to save Planet Roo. Using the world-saving power of meteor shapes, players must rotate platforms in myriads of different formations all the while strategizing on the fly and collecting quick-falling shapes. Players will get hooked on the invigorating gameplay that requires fast thinking, determination and grit; leaving players craving more action and adventure after each level. As an added bonus, the Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ versions can wirelessly connect and unlock 20 bonus levels within each title!
