Shrek-N-Roll

_Shrek-N-Roll_ is a small game based off the characters of the animated
_Shrek_ films, with Shrek as the giant green ogre and a host of friends and
enemies, such as Fiona, Donkey, Puss-in-Boots, Charming, … Completing every
level eventually makes 24 characters available, with only aesthetic
differences and no influence on the gameplay.

Gameplay is based around balancing a baby Shrek snack in the form of a ball in
levels usually in the form of a tower. There is a character positioned on
either side of the screen, with in between a beam where the snack rolls, like
guiding a marble on a see-saw or a labyrinth tilt-and-roll game. Each analogue
stick controls a character, left and right, as they contort a crank to raise
and lower the beam to collect coins, extra snacks, and extra lives. They also
have to dodge windows, and purple vortexes (some of them moving about) that
suck the snack inside and require to restart the level. By varying how the
sticks are moved, the angle of the beam changes. To complete a level, a number
of snacks needs to be fed to Baby Shrek without losing too many along the way.
Some levels have a little variation where Baby Shrek for instance licks the
ball, making it more sticky and easier to control.

There are 16 levels in total, based on 4 environments from the films such as
The Swamp or Evil Queen’s Castle. Multiplayer is supported locally, for two
players, in a cooperative or a versus mode. In versus the screen is split
vertically and introduces power-ups to steal the opponent’s multiplier or have
his beam disappear for a short while. The goal is to be the first to reach the
ogre baby at the top.
