BALL x PIT

I tried to like this game, but I felt like it was super hard to get a good build going. Wound up doing the first world like 8 times and never felt like I was making progression.

Ball is life

刚买完就史低

Way too slow of a grind to be fun. Good if you like a game you have to fail multiple times to get a win.

Increíble este juego, me saco de la depresión.

很无聊，一眼望到头的游戏，如果你是肉鸽高手，那我不推荐购买

This game is a roguelite version of [i]Arkanoid[/i] (or whatever other name the classic brick-breaking game might be known as) where the bricks are monsters and the player destroys them by throwing balls at them. The "roguelite" element consists of picking up new balls and passive abilities during a stage, as well as unlocking new balls and other power-ups while outside stages: this is done by building a town where each building grants either an upgrade (like the number of balls the player can hold) or a new character to play as. Characters also have personal abilities that will influence the gameplay: some launch balls in different ways, some launch multiple balls at once, some play the game by themselves and one even changes the game to be turn-based (so it effectively becomes a roguelite reimagining of [i]Puzzle Bobble/Bust a Move[/i]). That's not even counting that both balls and characters can be combined: two balls can be fused together into a single one that has the properties of both, and some can even spawn brand new balls like how the "iron" ball and the "fire" ball can evolve into a "bomb" ball. Characters behave the same and bring both their unique abilities to a stage. I've played the entirety of this game on a Steam Deck OLED with no issues whatsoever outside of one stage where I tested a spammy combination of balls and characters and the screen got [b]very[/b] busy. Aside from that, I've had an extremely smooth experience and completed every achievement after around 42-43 hours, though I'd argue one may need even less than that. There are plenty of combinations possible, and I think the game is both well-made and unique enough to warrant a try. It has a demo, too, and I encourage trying it out first, but the game is a clear thumbs-up for me.
