CheatCC says, "At the end of the day, Roogoo Attack is a flawless execution of an original, but unfortunately mediocre, idea. It's not like any other game on the market, there's a lot of content, and the graphics are great, but all of that amounts to little when the gameplay doesn't make you want to come back. This isn't a game we'll be playing very much, but thanks to the superb work on display here, we will be paying attention to whatever developer SpiderMonk Entertainment does next."
Everyday since Christmas Day, Electronic Theatre has been looking back at the greatest videogames 2009 had to offer; month by month. Whilst the last thing on your mind at the moment in the midst of the snowfall is likely to be the summer, today we bring you the very best that August 2009 had to offer and the ones to look out for in the January sales.
The story is every bit as unimportant as you would expect it to be. There's something about meteors and creatures that look like teddy bears, and the meteors corrupt the teddy bears … or something. Coming to a puzzle game for its plot is like turning on football so that you can watch the goalposts. That's not to say that the game won't take the occasional moment to cram one of the teddy bear characters down your throat; it's simply polite about it. You won't need to spend more than a few seconds staring at a saccharine-cute gob, and that's for the best.
The game is rated E and caters specifically to a younger audience with its puzzle styles and content. For older gamers looking for a puzzle game, this is probably not it. However, for a parent looking for a safe title for a younger gamer or someone anyone looking for a very simple puzzle game, Roogoo Attack! is not a bad choice.
