Pink Gorilla was proud to host an exclusive demo event to celebrate the upcoming release of Frobot, a top-down perspective puzzle shooter that is set to release on PC, Mac, and WiiWare later this year by local game company Fugazo.

The event featured WiiWare demo kiosks with multiplayer battles and single player demos throughout the day. With two 40’’ TV’s running the WiiWare version of Frobot and up to 4 players on each system for multiplayer mayhem, the store was hopping with gamers trying out the game. With practice rounds before each prize round, players got a feel for the game and even got tips from Fugazo CEO Andrew Lum about how to use each weapon.

There was lots of swag given out including super cool Pinky G plushies, a Pink Gorilla poster or even a rad Frobot t-shirt! The Frobot dev team was on hand and got lots of feedback on the game and was all too happy to show off their latest build of the game.
