BALL
SURVIVORS
One arena. Endless swarm. How long?
A fast survivor game where your ball fights for you. Stay alive, level up every few seconds, and stack upgrades until a little ball turns into a storm of saws, bullets and explosions.
IT NEVER STOPS
Enemies keep coming and they keep getting worse. There is no wave you clear, only a clock you outlast.
GET STRONGER FAST
Levels come in seconds, not minutes. By four minutes in, the screen belongs to you and not to them.
THEN LOSE ANYWAY
Every run ends. Every run pays. You unlock a new ball and immediately want to see what it does.
HOW A RUN GOES
-
PICK A BALL
Every weapon plays like a different game. Saws that ricochet, a swarm that hunts on its own, a blade that comes back. You choose before you drop, and that choice is the run.
-
TWO THUMBS, TWO JOBS
Left thumb steers, right thumb aims, and both work at once. Neither is a stick you have to find: press anywhere on your side of the screen and one appears under your finger. You never have to fire. Hold the aim and every weapon shoots where you point instead of at whatever happens to be nearest, let go and it goes back to picking targets for you. Then there is PULSE, which shoves the swarm off you and throws you across the arena in the same move.
-
LEVEL UP, PICK ONE
Every few seconds you level and three upgrade cards land. More saws. Bigger blast. Thorns that bite back. They stack, and a run is really the argument you had with yourself about which three mattered.
-
THEN A BOSS TURNS UP
Five minutes in, something enormous walks into the arena with a health bar of its own. One charges you down a lane it shows you first. The other plants at range and shoots. Kill it and the clock keeps running, because another one is due in five more minutes, and it never stops.
-
DIE. BANK. GO AGAIN.
You will die. The run pays out BALLSOULS anyway, and BALLSOULS permanently unlock new weapons. Nothing you survive is wasted, which is why the next run starts immediately.
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
The ring closes 1 
Everything at once 2 
Three cards, five seconds 3 
The arena has cover 4 PICK YOUR BALL
Two are yours from the first run. The other two cost BALLSOULS, which you earn by playing badly just as reliably as by playing well.
