Nerual Ttoille ('Lauren Elliott' spelled backwards): A non-corporeal alien.Recently divorced, he is addicted to shufflepuck, which he plays with fierceness and devotion. The General (also known as Eneg Doowtrop - 'Gene Portwood' spelled backwards): A pig-like alien who pretends to be a military general, although he really is just a militaristic gung-ho enthusiast.When defeated, he hiccups and passes out. He begins playing fiercely and hard to beat, but as play progresses, he sips his champagne, making him inebriated and less focused on the game, thus easier to beat. Lexan Smythe-Worthington: A lizard-like alien, a filthy rich playboy who gets 30,000 credits per year to keep away from his home world.While not particularly strong, his playing style is consistent and is a slight step up in difficulty from the two previous opponents. Vinnie the Dweeb: A veteran shufflepuck player who keeps his calm and is not easily surprised.He jitters his paddle all over his end of the table, so that his serves often bounce back and forth on their way to the player. Visine Orb: A green-coloured alien with huge eyes, who is only about 1.5 metres tall and can barely see over his end of the table.Has just started in shufflepuck and thus is very nervous and slow to react, making him easy to beat. Skip Feeney: A short male human in his early 20s, wearing glasses.Shufflepuck Café includes nine opponents:

The first player to score a set number of points (usually 15) wins the match. When one of the players manages to knock the hockey puck past the opponent's bat, the player scores.

The bat on the playing field bounces a hockey puck between the player and the opponent. The game is controlled via the computer's mouse. The player can compete in a tournament, playing against opponents who visit the Café, or can practice against each opponent to find out their weakness in a single-player match.
