Become a Winner with Band of Bugs new expansion pack, red kingdom
New story, new characters, new challenges and one huge contest await gamers
Orem, Utah- August 8, 2007 - 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.
