At a given moment, there can be so much going on in Ball x Pit that it seems impossible to wrap your head around it. As arcs of deadly gamma radiation slice through foes set alight by the flaming projectiles ricocheting off every surface and silent sentinels advance to meet them, the screen fills so quickly with clashing light and color in an assault on the senses. Were it not for the simplicity of your goal, it might prove an unendurable assault on the senses, but Ball x Pit somehow gets you to successfully walk the narrow path between chaos and perfect strategy.
When the city of Ballbylon is wiped from the face of the earth by a meteor, it's not long before treasure hunters flock to the crater, fending off the monsters that dwell within in pursuit of riches. A roguelike twist on the classic arcade formula of Breakout, Ball x Pit's combat revolves around throwing balls at your enemies as they advance towards your character, bouncing your projectiles off walls and foes to maximize your damage. If your enemies reach you, they'll attack, and a defeated treasure hunter must begin their descent from scratch.
