Babala for Linux 0.5.0

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 300
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.
