Ball x Pit

[i]Oh, I really like this game! I know it doesn't look like it because of my short playtime, but unfortunately, I can't split myself in half to play multiple games at the same time. Fact is: I'm still thinking about BALL x PIT when I'm not playing it, and that's actually saying a lot for me.[/i] When I bought the game a month ago, I was looking for a simple arcade title with some roguelite elements to mess around with. I expected something like the typical brick breaker games, but it ended up being a highly underestimated, challenging roguelike that hooked me immediately. I like the pixelish art style, the unique gameplay idea, the funky soundtrack, and of course, my beloved roguelite system. In the style of BALL x PIT, I'd say: [list] [*][b]Gameplay[/b]: Arkanoid x Vampire Survivors [*][b]Soundtrack[/b]: Nuclear Throne x Cult of the Lamb [*][b]Art Style:[/b] Loop Hero x Enter the Gungeon [/list] You start a run completely weak, with one huge ball and a few minis, getting more and more upgrades by leveling through kills, and choosing from a total of 60 balls and hundreds of perks and abilities. Within ten minutes and some good combos, you’ve built a completely overpowered synergy that melts hordes of monsters with satisfying chain reactions. Balancing run-based roguelite action while expanding your base "Ballbylon", finding blueprints and sending out your little idle heroes to gather resources between runs - turns the whole gameplay into endless fun. [b]I’ve never played a game with this concept before—it's chaotic, well-paced, rewarding (but grindy), and has an incredibly addictive run-loop. If you're into roguelites, pixel art, and like to try something new, BALL x PIT might be your new favorite.[/b]

Heavy is the ball that becomes swollen - Jahred Leto (or whoever pretends to be a philosopher and a Tool fan at the same time). You throw balls at enemies and they die. No Brad Pitt spotted. That's it. 8/10
