The Adventures of Shuggy Co-Op Review

The Adventures of Shuggy is a puzzle game that challenges your wits against physical enemies, obstacles, gravity and the Xbox Live Leaderboards. There are loads of puzzle games on the market, but Shuggy looks to make its mark using a bit of strategy, and including co-op.

I know most developers hate to see their games compared to any other games, but sometimes it puts things in perspective to discuss what games this resembles. In the gameplay model of things, The Adventures of Shuggy can best be described as the single player puzzle masterpiece Super Meat Boy on a severe sugar overdose. Shuggy is a little bat-like character who has just inherited a large, haunted house, and has to go through the various rooms to fix issues like overzealous boilers and ghosts so he may live there peacefully.

To do this, he’ll have to explore rooms that each have an issue with them - each room has a set number of available keys, which you earn by collecting all of the glowing gems in the room. Some rooms have reverse gravity that puts you/ Shuggy on the ceiling, others have switches that need to be hit at just the right time, or you control which direction a room is spun. The levels get weirder, and tougher to complete as they go on, but each can be completed in a few minutes (or seconds for a few) once you figure out the trick.

Artistically, Shuggy is incredibly unique. Each area has a series of levels (you start out in the Boiler room, then head to the gallery, then off to the graveyard, etc) that are visually different. Each level in the boiler room is a drab purple/grey color with cobwebs around the sides. The platforms are each made of wood and stone, and the high-contrast style means the things you need to look for are mostly incredibly bright (the gems are bright green, the spiders are bright red, the bees are yellow).

The goal of the game is to collect as many keys as you can to unlock additional doors, so Shuggy can clear out his newly inherited, slightly haunted house. The other goal is time. Each level has a spot on the leader board, and the ultimate challenge is to really perfect your style to get up on that leaderboard.

@patrick123900 I doubt it, i’ve not seen much that blizzard does to make things /zones etc, but from my own experience i [Believe] that theres a special program they use to create objects etc and also edit maps and stuff, so it’s probably MUCH easier for them then it is for me when i build, when i build i’m just basically using the “left over” objects from say a lantern in duskwood, i could put it where i wanted, so its all made of current in game objects. Thanks for Subing/Commenting!

@thedartshooternerf this place is in the emerald dream, in wow, BUT this is not on retail wow, i made this all customly on a private server. on project: defiance, it’s not open yet, i will be possibly opening it later on though when i get atleast one ride open, but still determining if i should beacause i dont want some idiot to come in and ruin it as soon as i open it, that would probably kill me after all of that work i put into it lol.
