Every few years, a game comes along that defies simple categorization and becomes a global phenomenon. For many, that game was Vampire Survivors. If you've ever lost an entire evening to "just one more run," you understand the magic. Now, prepare to fall into that glorious time-sink all over again.
But this isn't just another roguelite. It's a masterful fusion, a genre-bending alchemical reaction. Imagine taking the core DNA of several beloved genres:
Now, fuse them all into one astonishingly polished package. That is BALL x PIT.
This creation from solo developer Kenny Sun and the indie connoisseurs at Devolver Digital has already earned high praise from its community:
"A Game of the Year contender, without a doubt."
"This is a spiritual time capsule. I haven't been this addicted in years."
The core gameplay loop is devilishly compelling. You dive into the pit, battle monstrous hordes, grow stronger, and return to New Ballbylon with the resources to make your next run even more spectacular. This cycle of descent, discovery, and development is the heart of the BALL x PIT experience. With its deep systems, a game like this deserves an equally deep resource. Our mission is to demystify the abyss, empowering every player to unlock their full potential.
The heart of your arsenal is the balls themselves. Our comprehensive Ballpedia will be an exhaustive database of all 60+ foundational balls. Each entry will be meticulously detailed with base damage, effect triggers, cooldowns, and upgrade scaling. No more guesswork—just pure, actionable data for your BALL x PIT runs.
This is our crown jewel. The true genius of the game lies in its Fusion and Evolution system. We are systematically testing and documenting every "Evolve" recipe and "Fuse" combination. This encyclopedia will be your lab for theory-crafting the most overpowered BALL x PIT builds imaginable.
Your starting choice fundamentally changes your approach. We'll go beyond basic descriptions, offering deep-dive analyses of each character's unique mechanics. Our guides will recommend optimal ball synergies and upgrade paths, helping you master every adventurer in BALL x PIT.
Rebuilding New Ballbylon is essential. We will provide detailed guides on the 70+ unique buildings, outlining the most efficient build orders to unlock permanent stat boosts, new characters, and game-changing upgrades for your journey into the BALL x PIT abyss.
While our full encyclopedia is under construction, our team has already made several descents into the treacherous depths. We're excited to share some verified intelligence from our early runs—a taste of the powerful synergies that define the BALL x PIT metagame. An "Evolution" occurs when two specific balls are fused, creating a completely new and unique ball with its own properties.
This is one of the most powerful and reliable early-game evolutions you can create. It perfectly embodies the "best of both worlds" principle. The resulting Frozen Flame ball applies a "Frostburn" status effect, which simultaneously deals damage-over-time and slows enemies. This potent combination of damage and crowd control can single-handedly carry you through the early stages, giving you the breathing room needed to build into a more complex late-game strategy.
For players who love a "summoner" playstyle, the Brood Mother is a cornerstone. This evolution creates a ball that has a chance to spawn smaller "baby" balls upon hitting an enemy. When combined with passives that increase their number or damage, your screen quickly fills with a swarm of projectiles, transforming a simple concept into a full-blown "bullet heaven" experience where you are the source of the chaos.
