Babala for Linux
-
Version
0.4.0
Babala is a fun and fanciful game suitable for all
ages. You fend off the enemy muggers (they can't shoot)
on a basic grid, amid obstacles and booby traps. The
game's defining features are mercifully simple but
don't be fooled, because it gets tough as nails to beat
as the levels progress. It's all in the campaign
designs. A worthwhile scoring system is employed and
record high scores can be uploaded for display at
Babala.org. There are 200 discrete levels, the first 10
being a tutorial. Gameplay is strictly at your own
pace, it's never a test of reflexes.
This is a simple Logic/Strategy round-based war game of
sorts, not lacking in cute animations. The enemy are
arrayed on the field; intently, they dog your every
turn. You'll have only limited moves and shots to
deploy during your each round, 6 or 7 tops: choose as
you go from a set of 5 maximal trade-offs. Your shots
are either projectile or mine, assuming you're so
armed. Following your strokes, the enemy makes a
measured advance. If he reaches you, you're mugged, you
lose. There may be obstructions and certain rigged
perils, critically situated, or remote ammunition
stores that have to be acquired.
Must be played to be appreciated: prodigious, often
diabolical, never a shortage of variety and the
unexpected. And there seems always a way to best an
earlier score when you ambitiously replay a level.
In-game help is in English, Czech or German, as
specified during installation.
