Balls Battle Arena is an original arcade game, very easy to handle but with a great depth of play. You control a vehicle that automatically picks up balls nearby, and you automatically shoot close opponents. Use increasingly powerful bonuses to help you in your battles, be smart in your movements, and throw out hundreds of balls! Two game modes are available: - Battle Royale: the main mode. You have one life (at the beginning) and must be the last to survive. Advance from league to league, improve your vehicles, and unlock all the items of the game. - Training: a free mode to train your vehicles and earn extra coins.
