Information

Shuggy is a game still in development for XBox Live Arcade written using the XNA development environment from Microsoft.  It's a 2D platformer containing a variety of different levels with a leaning towards puzzles.  There are around 100 levels connected through a gradually unlocking map screen ensuring there is always a variety of levels to choose from.

The game takes place in an old Scottish mansion recently inherited by young Shuggy, a cartoon vampire.  To clear the mansion of evil spirits he must venture through the five different areas of the mansion, The Dungeon, The Boiler Room, The Gallery, The Graveyard and The Clocktower.  Progress through the mansion is punctuated by comic book cut scenes and the occassional boss encounter.

The game also has a selection of two player Co-Op levels, an online head-to-head mode and a turn based two player challenge mode that allows players to see who's best at the single player levels.
