    Kind of shallow game. Definitely a win for younger kids that you want to pacify with some basic puzzle solving, but otherwise not worth the time.

    Based on real facts, this deep, psychological puzzle game confronts the player with a baby's shape-matching toy from hell. Planet Roo is on brink of destruction when a race of Roogoos becomes corrupted by the power of meteors. To save the world, player must venture into to the depths of earth and cleanse it from its very core. Game is not too long but offers competitive local multiplayer and two difficulty modes - "Casual" and "Prepare To Die". Are you strong and brave enough to save Roo?

    In the passing months I have been simultaneously looking forward to and dreading this review, it came to my attention that Roogoo may in fact be my favorite game of this last decade and is a piece of art for all to enjoy. When I first started playing I didn’t think much of it, the music was catchy and rhythmic to the game play but as I kept going it was getting more tedious I started seeing things that you wouldn’t normally see in the “real” existence. It was almost like it put me in a…

    The Roogoo series has built its reputation on memorable moments. Some epic, some intimate, some barely believable--YouTube is filled with clips of people far better at Roogoo than you, doing amazing things (to people like you). Roogoo wants you--yes, you--to experience even more thrilling, more epic moments than ever before with a beefed up single-player story and the addition of map-changing levolution events and show-stopping destruction online. That’s the aim… and in this respect, the game…

    Once upon a time, I had a life. I graduated from Harvard with a Master's Degree in Business with a minor in Economics in 1984, I started working for small banks and eventually worked my way up to the Head of Strategic Development at Goldmann Sachs by 1998. By 2007 I was making over 500 million a year. I had a wife, who I used to love dearly, who I'd been with for close to 30 years. We had 2 children, a son named Michael and a daughter named Angela. By all accounts, my life was great. I was…

    After buying the Roogoo Premium Pack and having over 300 confirmed kills, I can say Roogoo is one of the best AAA games out on Steam. It is a fun tactical shooter that will give you countless hours of gameplay. Roogoo is love. Roogoo is life.

    Honestly, this game is incredible. I am a suffering TF2 addict and ever since Roogoo appeared in my life I did a complete 180. I have recently married to a beautiful young man and we spend hours playing Roogoo together. On our honeymoon, all we did was play Roogoo. We are out of a home right now. All I do is go to the local library with my hubby and play Roogoo on the computer. We get kicked out but we don't care. :) My husband's skype account is al.petrocco if you want kinky Roogoo sex. 10/10.

    Roogoo is a casual shape and color matching timed puzzle game that manages to be cute and accessible enough for children but challenging enough for adults. The game features a campaign mode that eases you into the gameplay and provides some basic context for the puzzles themselves. The music is well done and provides a relaxing backdrop for what at times can be frantic gameplay. Both the Steam Overlay and Widescreen modes are supported. Given it's bargain price, Roogoo offers casual gamers…

    Have you ever wanted to know what it feels like to do the job that an automatic coin sorting machine does? Do you hate coins and prefer Lucky Charms' marshmallows instead? Do you also like insipid stories about teddy bears that turn evil when exposed to Lucky Charms? Then boy, do I have a game for you! That introduction sounds negative, but seriously, Roogoo is fast paced and colorful with an appropriate art style and some unexpected complexity / variety in its very small scope. I don't…

    Roogoo is an interesting game. Its kind of like a 3D tetris. You have to know where to put the shapes VERY fast. The music is pretty relaxing too. My only issue with this game is lack of widescreen support. It really is relaxing and fun! I recomend a controller, because you can use an xbox 360 controller to rotate the wheels. The bumpers are what do it. This game is well worth the 29 cents you can get it for on sale. Go forth and save the planet Roogoo! PS. The first few levels are boring.…

    Simply the best and arguably the most challenging puzzler i've ever had the honor to play. From the beginning you are sucked in by the immersive atmosphere and enchanting soundtrack. The storyline in this game is 10/10. The characters in this game are some of the most remarkable characters ever created. The ending is absolutely heartbreaking, but is still one of the best. In conclusion, this game is one of the best puzzlers and has one of the best stories; if you thought Portal was a…

    I got this game when it was on sale for $0.29, and was very, very surprised with how it played. I watched many different YouTube playthroughs for this game, and also read many reviews - a good number of both have (unfortunately) involved the authors giving up on the game within the first few minutes. For anyone who ends up trying this game, please, I implore you all to give it a chance and play through at least the first few levels/sections before determining a verdict. If you like…

    Roogoo is one of the oldest games on Steam and was an early purchase I made. It runs on Windows 10 and has controller support but really shows it's age with the 800x600 resolution. There isn't a compelling reason to play, each level is nearly the same as the last just at a faster pace. Rotate the platforms to fit the shapes as they fall. That's it. There is a local vs mode which might appeal to those that play every Tetris-like game available and need something more. I plan to remove this…

    Roogoo is an ancient console ported game from 2008. It's a whopping 16 years old at the time of this review. The game lacks support for any modern gaming display resolutions (or widescreen monitors), hasn't been modernised or updated to run smoothly on modern gaming PCs. Despite this lack of modernisation, it carries a pretty high price tag for such an ancient game. This seems to have been put on Steam as a nostalgia gouge, or just a cash grab to try profit from abandonware. The game…

    Game gave me the feeling I was 3 years old again, playing with figures trying to get them in the right hole. Which also is a perfect discription for the game. Yet, it managed to challange your reaction speed and requires some focus. Music is calming and the game has a funny look, nothing fancy but relaxing overall. This makes failing a level (over and over) less irritating. Multiplayer is fine aswell. You can either choose to just play along and see who finishes first or totally screw each…

    People always think this is an easy baby game, however, that is not true. It's simple to figure out how to play it, but to actually passing some of the challenges is hard. The music is great, the art looks fine too. Sadly the story is nothing special. Actually, it's pretty bad. Would I buy it again? Yes, it's fun to play at times when you don't want to do anything too serious. If you have younger kids, probably great for them.

    The quality of the in-depth and heart wrenching storyline is only surpassed by it's outstanding gameplay mechanics. The puzzles in this game are VERY hard. Unless you're a mathematician you'll probably never complete this game. It's the thinkers Dark Souls. Matching a shape and a color has never been so challenging before. 5-word review: Heart-wrenchingly difficult puzzle game.

    Bought Roogoo in the Steam Weeklong Sale and it's definitely worth the"investment" of 0,44€ ... but it's a typical Indie game: You play for some minutes or maybe an hour and don't want to see the FRICKIN game for some time again. Plus it bothers you so much sometimes, even in casual mode, that you just NEED to ragequit :D Here's the contra: Resolution is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke, and it's a bummer that the achievements are missing.

    You know that peg and hole game children play in kindergarten? Well this is that except designed by the dark lord of hell himself. Roogoo is a carefully disquised excersize in frustration, it looks simple enough, however it becomes dredfully difficult. On top of that it really dosen't know what type of game it wants to be, puzzle?, dexterity? skill based? Roogoo is a jumbled up mess. Also it only runs in 4:3 so good luck with an ultriwide setup.

    I don't see anything innovative here as they claim. It's way too simplistic even for a casual game. I guess it gets harder somehow, but it's generally find a matching hole for whatever falls from above. Buy only if you got kids under age of 3.

    "Roogoo is actually a sequel to the critically acclaimed "Super Mario Bros. 2" on the NES. This game is a BRILLIANT example of modern-day RPGs. With smooth, quick turn based combat, Roogoo will have you on your knees, BEGGING for more. The game begins with your nameless hero stranded on a lush, tropical island. What seems like a forced vacation turns into a nightmare as you trek through dark, dank caves filled with creatures, just waiting to have a bite at you! I truly reccomend this game…

B) Stupid very slow game for kids of fitting pegs into shapes. C) Stupid game for kids of fitting pegs into shapes that does difficulty by GOTTA GO FAST. I was pleasantly surprised. Turns out that it's actually a legit reaction puzzle game. It's actually a somewhat successful (with critics) game from 2008…
