Well, Shufflepuck Cafe was predictable as well, to a certain extend, but it seems to be no abuse of notation to approve that Shufflepuck Cantina is even more predictable. The one thing that is new though are the special strikes, but you could claim that they lack of originality. What about the game mechanics? You take your mouse and move it from left to right, forwards, backwards, that's nothing new, even the splitting glass when you hit some background is the same as before. A way to answer this question is through a comparison with the original: Shufflepuck Café.ĭoing so, a lot of opposing pairs come into mind, for example what's new, what's missing: A rational question arising is the price/performance ratio. With a community of around 50.000 Steam owners, Shufflepuck Cantina proves to be a fairly successful game, especially taken the price of 10 Euro into account. PLENTY ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT: The Shufflepuck Sequel But you have to admire Agharta Studio for having put so much effort and imagination into such a simple game. To be honest, even as nostalgic as I am, I doubt I’ll ever actually put in enough time to get that far.
Once you’ve done that, you'll challenge the “end boss” who has the last part, presumably so you can finally leave this charming little Tatooine knockoff! Ultimately, you’re supposed to unlock all the character’s back-stories to get “parts” for your crashed spaceship. There's even a back-story to unlock for each of the opponents you face, with their own little place in the sci-fi universe of Shufflepuck Cantina! There’s points and rankings, money, a slots game with prizes, dozens of different mallets and pucks to unlock, etc, etc. There’s different game modes, different areas with different opponents presenting different challenges. that matters! In fact, the game gives FAR more to the player than I ever would have expected. They’ve added a silly stranded-on-an-alien-planet premise, to explain what you’re even doing there, because. That said, I’m not so sure it could keep the interest of today’s gamers for long.

People who remember the original “Shufflepuck Cafe” from Broderbund Software will LOVE this game! It’s a great looking and VERY faithful homage to the original, right down to the broken glass and the music in one of the areas. I’m recommending this game with one very big caveat:
