  • Summary: [Xbox Live Arcade] From the creators of Cloning Clyde comes a new epic adventure Ancients of Ooga! Eat, chant, and even puke your way through the highly comical, primeval land of Ooga. You meet, befriend, and finally acquire seven zany Oogani tribes. Uncover their lost ancient powers, and exploit their abilities and lead them in a revolt against the tyrannical Boolis. This is classic platforming and puzzle solving with a novel eat/carry/puke inventory management component. Over fifty amazing levels, excellent multiplayer, plus, narcotic slugs that make you loopy.

  1. With its twisted humour and mutated style lending a pleasantly Oddworld vibe to proceedings, this is a crafted effort for those of us with a tendency to mutter that they don't make 'em like they used to. Apparently they do.

    Ancients of Ooga's winning moments are playful and charming, but its low points will put you to sleep.
  3. Ancients of Ooga is a playful but imperfect puzzle platformer with a difficulty curve that makes it best suited for novice players.
  4. Its best moments make it well worth sampling. Just don't be surprised if it somehow feels like less than a meal despite its 10-hour playtime. [Aug 2010, p.83]

  1. A fun little puzzle/platformer that shouldn't be missed. Fans of the sleeper Live title Cloning Clyde will want to check this one out. Graphics are good, but run a little framey. Still, the puzzle based gameplay wins it over. I simply love how you can take over other characters mid-games to solve puzzles. Expand
