unlabelledView post →I’m loving Ball x Pit. I’m a big fan of brick breaker games, and combining that with Survivors style gameplay is such a good idea. The city builder pinball mashup between runs is great too. This game speaks to me intently.

I’ve been hot and cold on the game but after finishing it I think it’s overall a game that does a lot of really interesting stuff in a fairly limited space that just barely brushes up on overstaying its welcome. A perfect 8/10 game
