ROOGOO

Roogoo is an innovative 3D puzzle game that tasks players with guiding differently shaped blocks through various platforms to save not just planet Roo but the entire Roogoo race. Players must guide meteor-shaped blocks across rotating disks to align them correctly, allowing the blocks to reach the ground and earn scores. As the game advances, obstacles and enemies hinder block movement, requiring quick thinking to save the Roogoo and achieve high scores, with the flow of meteor blocks steadily increasing.
Features include:

45 levels of action-packed puzzle racing games

Easy-to-grasp gameplay, starting with two buttons and adding more functions as you progress

Engaging short story segments throughout the game

Universal appeal for casual and serious gamers alike

Multi-layered gameplay progression and Co-op play

Filled with imaginative and fun creatures"

Realtime Character "The Prince"

Including the game design I created all the characters and animation using using Softimage XSI.
Roogoo is an award-winning puzzle game that I conceptualized developing all gameplay mechanics, producing sound, and character themes. Above, you'll find a selection of my work, showcasing models, animations, gameplay elements, and audio (edited from sound libraries). The game was released on XBLA and for retail on Nintendo Wii/DS, PC, and handheld devices. Each platform featured unique game mechanics tailored to its specifications, encompassing UI/UX and controller inputs.

Players who owned both the Nintendo DS and Wii versions gained access to additional game levels and content.
