Shift'em Mania
A downloadable game for Windows, Linux, and Android
Shift'em Mania is an amazing and fun tactical puzzle game with unique procedural generated levels where you play against AI or another Human via local multiplayer. Inspired by the popular 1990's DOS game Bolo Ball.
Your objective is to get your own balls to the bottom of a maze. Well, it's not as easy as it sounds. The levels are filled with obstacles: various arrow ramps, concrete walls and teleportation portals which will affect the movement direction of the ball.
You can use various strategies in order to win. Think more than one move ahead in order to achieve the highest possible score. Use walls to your advantage as they are destroyed at the end of the round. Block your opponent by pushing your own balls into strategic positions to prevent such actions against you. Collect bonus score and accumulate Super-Power as the ball accelerated with the Super-Power will break the first obstacle in its path.
If you are self confident try to beat the computer at the Extreme level of difficulty as in this case there will be no room for a mistake.

The game runs very well for me with MX-15 Debian Jessie 32 bit. I have not fully understood it yet but it gets better every time I play it. A help file would make it easier to understand how this game works.
Super disappointed to find out there are ads in the Itch.io version of the game, with no way to disable them, and no indication on the Itch page that the game has ads or option to purchase a full version. The game is really fun and smooth, but I'd rather at least have the option to give the dev a dollar or two than play a game from Itch with ads.
Hello! It's only Android version has Ads. The Windows version doesn't have any.
Hi! I've felt horrible for how my comment was worded since I commented. The ads are really unintrusive and don't bog down the app compared to other games with ads. I'm so sorry for being so rude.
