A Wii and DS Player’s Guide to Roogoo
Attack! and Roogoo
Twisted Towers
Bonus tips offered for the Wii
environment – Cavern; DS Forest tips offered
So you are planning on snagging a
copy of Roogoo Twisted Towers for the Wii but are not exactly certain what you
should be doing once you get it into your gaming rig. Well, don’t despair, help
is on the way. Southpeak Interactive and developer SpiderMonk Entertainment
present a player guide to Roogoo Twisted Towers, the action title slated to hit
the Wii gaming platform very soon. The first guide can be found
here.
And now, without further ado …
Environment 2: Cavern (Wii)
After exploring the lush
Grasslands of Planet Roo, players plunge into the dark and creepy Caverns. The
beautiful butterflies have been replaced by nimble bats that also share the same
fondness for stealing Meteor shapes, so keep an eye out for them.
Roo-cuz will tell
players about new meteor shapes that fall at faster rates, and will teach them
how to drill through obstacles that stop meteors from reaching their
destination. The distance between platforms has shrunk for some levels so
players should be mindful of aligning the rapidly descending meteors and having
their nets ready and able to catch stray meteors as well.
Meemoos have returned to
steal more meteors from the Roogoo. The Meemoos are also joined by Barry von
Pire — a powerful vampire Meemoo that has the ability to teleport and even
transform into bats in order to steal meteors. Players must utilize previously
learned Roogoo techniques to defeat these enemies and safely collect meteors.
Bonus tip! After
defeating Barry von Pire, players who brought their Nintendo DS with them will
have a chance to play a bonus level in the Caverns.
Environment 2: Forest (DS)
The next stop for DS
players is the enchanted Forest. Within the Forest, players will learn a new
Roogoo technique that enables them to battle Meemoos by attacking them with the
meteors while they descend. Here’s an advanced tip passed down by Goo-Roos: try
rotating the platform while multiple Meemoos stand guard over the holes.
Flowers are sometimes
spread across platforms and they attract butterflies that will pick up collected
meteor shapes. Players must be alert and ready to rotate platforms to align
shapes with the correct holes because these butterflies carry the shapes
upwards. As a bonus for some levels, these butterflies will instead drop the
shapes downwards in rapid succession after picking them up. So, the player must
be ready to align the platform as usual but at a faster rate in order to catch
the shapes and achieve a better bonus score.
Players will also have
the ability to build nests and snowmen between levels. A complete nest consists
of a nest, an egg and a hen while the snowman consists of a base, body, and head
made from mounds of snow.
