| Babala is a fun and fanciful game suitable for all ages. With this latest beta release v0.3, the game has grown to a staggering 200 levels. Babala is simplicity gone ballistic. It's played on a basic grid and its defining features are mercifully few in number; a child could pick up on it readily. The game isn't cluttered with myriad details and rules, countless varying characters, difficult controls or complex readouts. But don't be fooled, because this game gets tough as nails to beat as the levels progress!
A meaningful scoring system is incorporated and Web high score posting is planned for version 1.0 (probably out before Christmas). So what is Babala? it's a 2D move strategy game. At the start of the contest, the enemy legions "Balabaks" are arrayed on the field. To fight them, you have only limited moves and shots (or laying of mines) that you can make during your each round; 6 or 7 tops: you choose as you play, from a set of 5 maximal trade-offs. It's fiendishly clever yet utterly simple. Following your strokes, the enemy is allowed a measured advance toward you. If any Balabak reaches you, you're mugged, you lose. The enemy can't shoot. Your task of course is to survive, and dispose of all Balabaks. There may be obstructions and certain rigged perils, critically situated, or remote ammunition stores that have to be acquired.
