Description
*** The Shadow Update *** BALL x PIT: The Shadow Update, brings new balls, a new building, new characters, and new passives to your favorite time-devouring, ball-bouncing roguelite. Get to grips with a brand new character, a miner known as The Tunneller, whose balls can wrap around the screen. They're also joined by another new hero, the ninja-like Tiptoer, who enemies can't detect at the expense of their health and damage. The Shadow Update also gives you 10+ new balls to play with. The Reaper Ball has a chance to instantly kill an enemy, the Time Ball drops a timesnare that freezes any enemy in the area, the Warp ball warps to a random spot on the field every hit, and the Venom Ball slows and deals damage and can paralyze enemies. But that's all we're willing to reveal here: you'll have to discover the rest yourself. Equip the new Arrow of Fate passive and projectiles will no longer hurt you, shooting back retaliatory baby balls instead. Or equip the Full Metal Rapier passive, which deals a percentage of damage for each baby ball and enemy on the field. These are just a few of the new passives you'll find in this update. Back at your base, the new Guildhall building lets you re-roll previously chosen character upgrades. *** BALL x PIT is a fast-paced fantasy roguelite where heroes must find the balls to plunge deeper into a seemingly bottomless pit of monsters. Develop arcane ammunition and resources in pursuit of treasure, recruiting additional heroes to aid you in your perilous quest. Ballbylon has fallen. After a meteoric and completely unexpected event annihilated the great city, all that remains is an ominous, yawning pit. Treasure hunters from far and wide flock to the city’s tomb to seek their fortune, plumbing the depths in search of Ballbylon’s scattered riches. Few return. The pit plays host to armies of barbaric creatures, hellbent on ending your quest before it even begins. Armed with a growing arsenal of magic-infused projectiles, batter your way through multiple levels of increasingly challenging obstacles to claim the ultimate prizes and rebuild New Ballbylon. 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. 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!
