Overview
Shufflepuck Cantina is a sci-fi fantasy behind-the-back air hockey game developed and published by Agharta Studio for iOS devices on August 30, 2012. It was later released for Android devices in April 2013 (although it was later delisted) and was later published digitally via Steam for the PC, Mac, and Linux on December 5, 2013 as "Shufflepuck Cantina Deluxe".
The spiritual successor to the 1988 game Shufflepuck Café, Shufflepuck Cantina builds on the gameplay and theme of the original with a "sci-fi Western" theme heavily influenced by Star Wars. It features a variety of opponents (each with their own special abilities), random power-ups, mallet shapes, a progression system, and currency.
Players control an astronaut who crash lands on the planet Athanor and must earn money (by playing Shufflepuck) to buy parts to repair his spaceship and return home.
The mobile versions are free-to-play, supported by both in-game advertisements (which can be removed through purchases) and microtransactions. The Steam version requires an initial purchase and has no ads or microtransactions.
