Roogoo
Xbox console exclusive
Roogoo is an innovative and unusual 3D puzzle game that has players guide and stack different shaped blocks through various platforms to not only save planet Roo, but the entire Roogoo race. Roogoo tasks players with guiding meteors in the form of shaped blocks through a series of rotating disks as a means of saving planet Roo and the entire Roogoo race. If aligned correctly, the disks allow the blocks to reach the ground and scores are awarded. Various obstacles and enemies will impede the blocks' movement 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.

Gameplay
The objective of the game is to guide special shaped meteors though a series of rotating disks and save the planet Roo and ultimately the Roogoo race. Shapes include triangles, squares, circles, stars, and so forth. Each level, the player is given a set level of meteors to try to allow safely to pass to the bottom.
When properly aligned, the disks allow the blocks to fit into the hole. When the meteor pile is heavy enough, it descends to the lower disks. When a stack hits the wrong shaped slot, the player loses meteor blocks until all of the blocks are gone or the player manages to save some of them by properly aligning them before they are all gone. The object is to get as many meteors into the bottom rung as possible.
Reception
The Xbox 360 version received "generally favorable reviews", while the PC version received "average" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
IGN's Nate Ahearn said of the Xbox 360 version, "Roogoo is a worthy addition to any puzzle fan's library." com's Anthony Gallegos said of the same console version: "Its bright and cheery art style, adorably cute characters, and challenging play make this one of my favorite XBLA titles to date." TeamXbox reviewer Tom Price stated: "If you like puzzle games that require quick reflexes as well as mental acuity, then Roogoo is definitely for you." Eurogamer reviewer Dan Whitehead said of the same console version, "Roogoo is an original and beautifully presented addition to Live Arcade."
