Ball x Pit

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.

Discover all of this, and more, in BALL x PIT's The Shadow Update.

THE REGAL UPDATE

BALL x PIT's first major update, The Regal Update, adds a wealth of new content to the game, including new characters, new balls, new passives, and a brand new mode that players have been crying out for since launch.

You can now play as the Falconer, a new character who fires off two balls launched by a pair of birds flanking the screen, giving their attacks a wide, swooping spread. Or take on the role of the Carouser, a medieval royal troublemaker who can twist ball trajectories with a personal gravity field, pulling shots off their usual paths.

A selection of eight powerful new balls includes Fireworks, which burst outward in bright, unpredictable patterns, scattering damage in every direction; the Stone Ball, which hits like a truck on impact but slowly crumbles as it keeps bouncing; and the Landslide, which triggers a cascading wave of debris in front of the first impact point and deals damage that lasts for a few seconds to surrounding enemies.

And then there's Endless Mode, one of BALL x PIT's most requested features. Each level can now be pushed as far as you can handle, continuing indefinitely as long as you manage to stay alive once finishing the boss in that area and agree to continue deeper into the pit.

All of this, and a LOT more, awaits you in The Regal Update.
