Inspired by our incredible Discord Community, the team at Half Moon Studios have done over 50 updates to “find the fun”. People told us to add Skins, so we did. People demanded a level editor, so we gave it to them. And when we removed one of our accidents (the infamous Double Jump), people complained. So then we gave them 21 Powers to play with. Our latest minigame, “Merge Guys” has been all over TikTok. What’s next we wonder? Join our incredible community (not a cult!) at Discord.gg/Ballguys.
