Arkanoid is a classic arcade game developed by Taito and released in arcades in 1986. Over the years, it has inspired numerous imitators, including the game BALL x PIT described here. This action game with roguelike elements was created by an independent developer Kenny Sun.

Gameplay

In BALL x PIT the action is viewed from a top-down perspective.

Exploration and fighting enemies

The adventure takes us through sun-scorched deserts, icy caverns, and wild expanses. As we explore the ruined city of Ballbylon and its devastated surroundings, we move upwards, eliminating hordes of enemies along the way. We face both swarms of regular adversaries and powerful bosses.

We eliminate opponents by shooting them using projectiles with different characteristics. Balls (and not only) bounce off walls, and enemies advance on us in rows, reminiscent of the aforementioned classic hit from Taito.

Analog Stick Gaming: 10 / 10 by Jeff M Young

Ball x Pit is without question the surprise hit of the year, a title that came so far out of left field and is so wacky that of course Devolver Digital is its publisher. Their golden touch yet again has found a game so fun, so addictive, that it is easily a contender for my personal Game of the Year. When a game is on your mind every hour of day, even when you are focused on an entirely different game, then you've certainly done something right.

BALL x PIT combines so many distinct elements while creating such a unique and enjoyable formula that it's incredibly hard to put down. ??

Game Informer: 8.8 / 10 by Matt Miller

This is one of those “don’t judge a book by its cover” sorts of games, where the real excitement only reveals itself once the controller is in your hands. It will only take a single level to make you a believer.
