Ball x Pit: When One Ball Becomes PURE CHAOS

Описание: #gaming #gameplay #ballxpit
Ball x Pit is an action roguelike video game developed by Kenny Sun and published by Devolver Digital. It was released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows, macOS and Xbox Series X and Series S in October 2025 with a Nintendo Switch 2 version planned for future release. The game combines two separate gameplay loops, an Arkanoid-inspired action stage where the player defeats monsters by bouncing balls against them, and a city builder stage where resources collected can be used to improve buildings that grant new characters and abilities in the action stage.

Gameplay
Ball x Pit takes place in the ruins of Ballbybon after the city was destroyed by a meteor, leaving a giant pit. Adventurers come to the ruins to seek riches of the former city but must face hordes of monsters that lurk in the pit.[1]

The game has two separate stages. The first stage is an action roguelike inspired by ball breakout games like Arkanoid. In this stage, the player controls one of several adventures, launching various balls at enemy forces that march slowly towards them; if any monster reaches the bottom of the field, they will damage the adventurer, and the run will be over if the adventure takes too much damage.[1] Each adventurer starts with a certain inventory of balls, some which can impact special damage to the monsters. Like with Vampire Survivors, collecting gems dropped by the monsters levels up the adventurer, giving them the choice to add new balls, leveling up existing balls, or obtain passive items that affect the gameplay loop. At times, monster will drop a special item that can be fissioned to drop several powerups, or used to fuse two existing balls into one with the effects of both, or evolve balls into a more powerful version.[1] Each run is broken into multiple segments; the early segments end with a mini-boss fight while the final stage is against a powerful boss character.[1]

After either completing a run or losing all health, the adventure returns to the surface to work on expanding a small village adjacent to the elevator that takes them into the pit. Using gold, blueprints, and material resources like wood and stone collected during the action stage, the player can build resource spaces or start the construction of buildings which can bring in additional adventurer characters or improve the attributes of all characters at the start of the action stage. The player can also expand the size of the village or upgrade existing structures with gold. To complete most of these actions or to collect resources, the player can launch workers at these spaces, the workers collecting resources or advancing construction on buildings when they do so.[1] Over multiple runs, the player can also gain gears from boss fights that allow the pit elevator to reach different levels with new monsters and bosses to defeat
