Ancients of Ooga on XBLA in June, Cloning Clyde price dropped

Ninjabee and J. Kenworthy Entertainment have announced that Ancients of Ooga will arrive on Xbox Live Arcade June 16 for 800

($10). The game serves as a spiritual successor to J. Kenworthy Entertainment's previous XBLA effort, Cloning Clyde. Based on what we've seen so far, Ancients of Ooga certainly seems to share many of the logic puzzle elements seen in Cloning Clyde, though it also adds the somewhat disturbing ability to eat certain foods and vomit them back up.

In related news, Cloning Clyde has become an Xbox Live Arcade hit and has seen a permanent price reduction. Previously 800

($10), the game has now been reduced to a mere 400

($5). If you're a fan of puzzle platformers heavy on cloning, catapults and sheep, it's probably an instant purchase.

Look at that tongue. must be a real hit with the ladies. At least the ones not turned off by the giant spikes protruding from his body...

I'd Hit that ... With a crowbar.

That's gotta be the nipple piercing from hell.

Cloning Clyde is actually a pretty good game. I bought it for its full price quite a couple years ago, and got more than enough entertainment out of it to justify it. For $5 it's absolutely worth picking up.

I remember trying ther Cloning Clyde demo and it seemed lame. Is this not the case?

it seemed lame to me too in 2006, but at 400pts in 2010, with all the crap i've played since now and then, it now seems actually good. this is a somewhat longer arcade game, it's not broken, there's some variety to the level design, simple game mechanics of jumping and puzzle-solving, i can actually get through it without headaches, the achievements are achievable, it might have a minor amount of replayability if you missed something...
