New story, new characters, new challenges and one huge contest await gamers
NinjaBee, a division of Wahoo Studios and a leading independent
developer of Xbox LIVE Arcade titles, announced today its newest
expansion pack, Red Kingdom, for its Band of Bugs title. With this new
expansion pack comes more content for the level editor, leading to
Ninja Bee's own "Design a Level Contest."
Red Kingdom moves the
action from the Western Kingdom to the Southern Kingdom, and adds two
new troop types - artillery and cavalry - and ten exciting new
missions. The Southern Kingdom's arid desert comes to life with new
main characters with special powers and a higher level cap. Players
will be happy to see new Achievements have been added, as well as new
cinematics which further the saga. The game can be enjoyed single
player or co-operatively as well as in multiplayer battles.
Band
of Bugs gained popularity for its level editor, which allows any user
to create unique content for their friends and the community. Red
Kingdom pushes the editor further by adding in desert tile sets and
items such as stone huts, rock formations and more cactus types than
any Bug needs. To make sure these new levels get seen, NinjaBee is
hosting a contest for level editors. Once gamers have designed their
entry level, they only need to post a description and screen shots to
the user forums at www. NinjaBee.com. Members of the forum will vote
for their favorite levels and NinjaBee staffers will take the top 3
levels with the most votes, play through them and select the number one
level. Winners will get 4,000 Microsoft Points and a special edition
NinjaBee tee-shirt. All levels are due by August 16, 2007. Contest
rules will be posted on www.ninjabee.com.
Band
of Bugs was released June, 2007. It is available on Xbox LIVE Arcade as
both a free trial and as a full game for only 800 Microsoft Points. It
supports 1-4 players in co-op or in multiplayer versus modes and also
supports the Xbox LIVE Vision camera. One of the few turn-based tactics
games available, Band of Bugs provides gameplay deep enough to be
satisfying to established fans of the genre, but friendly enough to
appeal to casual gamers. The game has fifty levels, and also features a
level editor allowing gamers to design custom scenarios and play them
solo or over Xbox LIVE with friends.
