BALL x PIT combines breakout-style brick-breaking with roguelite progression, where you control ricocheting balls to demolish enemies and gather resources from procedurally dangerous pits. Between runs, invest your loot into homestead upgrades, resource generation, and recruiting heroes to strengthen your next attempt. The loop rewards both skilled moment-to-moment play and long-term base-building, making it compelling for players who enjoy incremental progression mixed with action elements.

This game is kinda like those fake mobile ads you see everywhere except they had the balls to actually make it into a real game.

BALL x PIT: Risen Ballbylon is coming on November 12

42 days ago
One year after release, 2M copies sold, 3 free updates, and countless hours balling into the pit… Rejoice, ball enthusiasts, because we’re back with MORE BALL x PIT. But this time, we’re going UP. Prepare yourself, and your balls, for paid expansion RISEN BALLBYLON, coming on November 12. Risen Ballbylon is the biggest and most transformative expansion for BALL x PIT yet, adding a wealth of new characters, balls, passives, enemies, bosses, buildings, and levels, dramatically expanding the possibilities of a run and introducing fresh new gameplay mechanics to test even the most hardened veterans of the pit. Will you rise to the challenge? Rise above the abyss to reach Risen Ballbylon, which floats high in the sky above. Each level is a layer of the former city, where the population has been warped by the effects of the meteor. *NOTE: The content of this expansion is only accessible after completion of the base game. NEW FRONTIERSWhen you ascend to Risen Ballbylon you’ll get to explore 4 new battlefields – each with their own fearsome new bosses – and battle over 40 new enemies. You can also dip into a deep pool of 45 new passives, including Lucky Coin, Eldritch Gauntlet, Vampire’s Kiss, Volatile Explosive, and Relentless Whip. You’ll have to play the expansion to find out what they do. HERO WORSHIPThere are 8 new gameplay-transforming characters to get to grips with in Risen Ballbylon, including the Sentinel, who can aim in any direction, The Stonewaller, whose balls warp to the other side the first time they hit a wall, and The Right Hand Man, whose balls deal double damage when they hit the right wall but only half when they hit the left. BALLS TO THE WALLRisen Ballbylon also adds 24 new balls to the game to experiment with and create powerful, game-changing fusions. These include the Beast ball, which latches onto enemies and damages them until they die, the Kaiju ball, which causes earthquakes, the Misfortune ball, which curses enemies, and the deadly, spiky Hedg...

87 days ago
The final free update for BALL x PIT is here!The Naturalist Update, available now on all platforms, adds even more characters, Balls, and Passives to the game, greatly expanding the possibilities of a run.2 NEW CHARACTERSPlayers of Ball x Pit: The Naturalist Update will come across two new unlockable characters, each with opposite personalities.The Ballbearer doubles down on firepower (literally), giving you double the amount of ball slots to build an arsenal at the cost of giving up passive items entirely.The Hoary Hoarder takes the opposite approach, lugging around an oversized backpack stuffed with gear. They only have room for two ball slots, but make up for it with twice as many passive slots, letting powerful item Evolutions do the heavy lifting.11 NEW BALLSLightning Bug lights up the battlefield by spawning a firefly with every bounce. Each one seeks out the strongest enemy before zapping nearby targets with a burst of lightning.Mosquito Kingdom slowly builds a buzzing swarm, spawning one or two mosquitoes whenever it hits an enemy. The mosquitoes hunt down the weakest target on the field, dealing between 100-150 damage with each attack, and if one lands the killing blow, well, you simply recover a small amount of health back.Drill tears through enemies from behind, piercing straight through them and dealing extra damage along the way.Flesh starts off weak, dealing only half damage, but it rapidly increases in speed with every bounce until it becomes a blur tearing across the screen.Armageddon calls down a destructive meteor shower the moment it hits an enemy. The first impact marks the target, then flaming meteors rain across the area, dealing heavy damage to every enemy caught within a three-tile radius.5 NEW PASSIVESPlatinum Dumbbell rewards clean shots, giving your balls a damage boost that lasts until they finally collide with the back wall.Inglorious Hammer keeps the pressure on after a bounce, causing balls that hit a wall or the back of the arena to i...
