Ballgame

Golf like never before: Ballgame is the new ball game that's bonkers, chaotic, merciless, and rewarding. You don't hit the ball – you are the ball. Play as Dolf, a newly sentient golf ball smashing, bouncing, and grinding your way through high-stakes tournaments and physics-bending parlor games. At its core, Ballgame is simple: get from the tee to the hole in as few shots as possible. Simplicity becomes complex in handcrafted courses with platforming challenges, balancing precise shots, and controlled mayhem. Improve every swing and navigate obstacles and objects: spike off bumpers, grind on rails, float in a bubble, die on spikes, and control the chaos. Every shot is a kinetic reaction.

Ballgame is rewarding and ruthless. Master every shot, ride curves, bend the bounce, shape the roll, and dominate every tournament. Each stroke is a chance to improve and score higher on the leaderboard. We've smashed together the skills of every ball game: golf, pinball, pachinko, skee-ball… You name it. Precision is everything; but, happy accidents make every course fun to master. Stay on the ball, win tournaments, then test your mastery in the Parlor. It's filled with chaotic arcade-style minigames where precision meets probability. Each trip to the Parlor earns you Figment, Ballgame's currency. Ball so hard with customizations, upgrades, and over 99 balls to unlock and discover along the way.
