Do you have the balls to go deep into a bottomless pit? Well, you'll find out on October 15 when fast-paced fantasy roguelite BALL x PIT releases.

BALL x PIT is one of my favourites that I played during the last Steam Next Fest, with it's delicious fast-paced combat that sort-of blends together Arkanoid / Breakout with Vampire Survivor like elements into something truly weird and challenging. Add to that the mini city-building aspect to it and there's a lot to like about it and I can't wait to play more of it. I certainly wasn't alone in loving it, as it was actually the 12th most-played demo from the entire Steam Next Fest event in June.

Fuse Your Balls

The Ball Fusion system encourages explosive experimentation with over 60 randomized balls to equip and combine during your journey. Discover overpowered combinations and unexpected synergies from hundreds of possible outcomes. Load up, lean in, and let the spit hit the fan!

Build New Ballbylon

Expand New Ballbylon with over 70 unique buildings that provide gameplay bonuses and unlock further power-ups, new characters, and more! As your community grows, task homebound heroes with automated tasks to keep the resources coming while you dive deeper into the pit.

Discover New Realms

Face legions of diverse enemies within the pit, battling through barren deserts, frozen caverns, savage forests and more. Each region offers its own unique set of hazards on top of hordes of increasingly challenging foes and mighty, screen-filling bosses.

Recruit Fellow Hunters

As you explore the pit you’ll encounter fellow treasure hunters eager to add their skills to your expedition. Each character has unique, upgradable mechanics that totally change the way you play the game. Experimentation and adaptation are crucial to the success of New Ballbylon!

The demo, which is still live, works perfectly with Proton 9.0-4 on Linux systems.
