GameXplain: "Chances are like me you hadn't even heard of The Adventures of Shuggy until it dropped onto the Xbox Live Arcade marketplace this past week. Published by Valcom Games − who I only know of because they released Raiden Fighters Aces stateside (I'm a sucker for old-school shooters) − and developed by Smudged Cat Games (who?), The Adventures of Shuggy's chances of slipping into obscurity are high. It's a shame too, as Shuggy is one of the best puzzle-platformers I've played to date."
The Adventures of Shuggy tries to hide it's flawed game play behind an adorable exterior, but cute looks can only cover up so much of the stench.
The Adventures of Shuggy is simple, fun and packed with imaginative content and solid variety in its gameplay. It’s definitely worth playing and does a great job of keeping you occupied. It goes without saying that the awesome co-op mode only sweetens the deal in this all-round good platformer.
"Shuggy could very well be the Mario of this generation. It’s as addictive as it is charming. For only 800 MS Points ($10) this is a no brainer – just go buy it. If you still have doubts – grab the free demo from Xbox Live right here and see for yourself." via Chris Forbis of Platform Nation
Like braid and super meat boy you say? I'm in
I would be interested in getting this game if my 11 month old son didn't buy Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planewalkers 2012 on "accident." I've never played Magic nor the games. Darn those Xbox adverts! Perhaps I learned a valuable lesson. Never leave your Xbox controller lying around if you have young children or they'll turn on your console and buy stuff :-p haha!
