A twin-stick shooter with roguelike and pinball elements. Go Mecha Ball tasks us with running and gunning while turning into an orb, bouncing off objects and gaining speed through ramps and launchers.
Go Mecha Ball is a twin-stick shooter with roguelike and pinball elements. It was developed by an indie studio Whale Peak Games and published by Super Rare Originals.
Go Mecha Ball is set in a sci-fi universe. We play as a mecha, traversing an alternate reality to face a rebellious AI trying to close the portals connecting it with our world.
Go Mecha Ball is an isometric game. We play as one of the mechas, varied in terms of equipment and abilities, traversing stages full of traps, obstacles and enemies.
The game is extremely fast-paced, our mecha can walk, shoot, as well as turn into an orb to roll around and bounce off parts of the environments. The stages are full of ramps and launchers that give us extra momentum or let us cover large distances in the air.
There are many different weapons, abilities and gadgets we can make use of. Our primary weapons are firearms, but good use of abilities, such as summoning allies, causing earth tremors and ground slams can easily turn the tide of battle. As we progress further, we unlock more powerful weapons and abilities, facing greater challenges and adapting our mecha to our playstyle.
Go Mecha Ball features simple, though colorful, cartoonish visuals. The game's dynamic soundtrack adapts to the situation on the screen.

GBAtemp: 8.5 / 10 by Ben Sellwood
I really enjoy Go Mecha Ball. Its beautiful visuals, playful design and stellar playability make for an undeniably powerful combination. Game Pass users should be on this day one, and PC gamers should be buying this up ASAP to enjoy it while its hot!
Checkpoint Gaming: 7 / 10 by Victor Tan
Go Mecha Ball is great at delivering fast-paced action thanks to its collision combat. You constantly balance rolling into enemies and firing with your weapons while dodging attacks. The enemies you face constantly attack you and the boss battles are challenging. The game isn't perfect, as it constantly forces the tutorial on you and you sometimes spend too much time chasing enemies. But for a game that gives you a quick action fix, it's hard to dislike Go Mecha Ball's frantic pace.
Video Chums: 4 / 5 by A.J. Maciejewski
Yes, Go Mecha Ball can be tough but it's also one of the most immediately gratifying and unique indie formulas that I've seen in years.
