BALL x PIT is a brick-breaking, ball-fusing, base-building survival roguelite from indie developer Kenny Sun and publisher Devolver Digital. It takes classic ricochet arcade action and twists it into a fantasy roguelite, where every bounce, smash, and fusion reshapes your run.
At its core is the Ball Fusion system. You can experiment with over 60 unique balls to discover wild synergies and create devastating combos. In addition, each run takes you deeper into the pit, but between dives you’ll return to New Ballbylon. This settlement grows piece by piece as you build more than 70 structures that unlock heroes, upgrades, and automation.
The result is a roguelite that mixes chaotic combat, clever experimentation, and long-term strategy. As a result, you’ll keep coming back—whether you’re fusing your way through monster hordes or expanding your home above the abyss. It’s the kind of game that makes you say, “just one more run.”
