Babala freeware beta v0.4.0, a nice long cunningly-crafted strategy quest

['mountaineer]

August 23, 2006 -- Game developer Pavel Richter of Liberec, Czech Republic, has released the next beta version of his fabulously novel and challenging game, Babala. 200 lovingly-crafted mind-boggling levels, and a credible scoring system, now with Web high scores posting securely implemented -- you owe it to yourself to try your hand at this cunningly devised sport. There are versions for Windows and Linux. Under Windows, you'll need the free GTK+2 libraries found here. (http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html) It's a tiny download, is Babala. No sounds in the game as yet, but they are to be added in later version 1.0. The graphics are okay, not exotic, but it's the gameplay itself that makes Babala so keen. It's not boring, because there are legions of enemies in most of the campaigns, and their moves seem a real circus at times. The play is strictly at your own pace, no timers going.
