Ball x Pit

Ball x Pit takes place in the ruins of Ballbylon 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. Game Informer describes it as a game that combines roguelike, bullet hell and town-building simulation genres.

The game has two separate stages. The first stage is inspired by block breaker games like Arkanoid. In this stage, the player controls one of several adventurers, 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 adventurer takes too much damage. Each adventurer starts with a certain inventory of balls, some which can inflict special damage to the monsters.

Lead developer Kenny Sun said he was inspired by Punball, a ball-breakout mobile game he had found around November 2021 that included roguelike elements. While he enjoyed the game, he felt there were several elements he could improve on, and after a few weeks, started work on his own game. As he expanded on his ideas, elements like introducing multiple adventures and the city-building supported the meta-progression between runs and keep the game interesting over multiple runs.

On January 26, 2026, the game's first update, the Regal Update was released. The update features two new characters (The Falconer and The Carouser), eight new special balls and three passive abilities. The update also features an endless mode and is the first of three planned updates for 2026.

Ball x Pit received "generally favorable" reviews on multiple platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received "mighty" approval, being recommended by 92% of critics. The newly released iOS and Android version also received positive reviews.

The game sold more than 300,000 units across all platforms in its first five days.
