BALL x PIT is a brick-breaking, ball-fusing, base-building survival roguelite. Batter hordes of enemies with ricocheting balls and gather the riches of the pit to expand your homestead, generate resources and recruit unique heroes. BALL x PIT is a fast-paced fantasy roguelite where heroes must find the balls to plunge deeper into a seemingly bottomless pit of monsters. Develop arcane ammunition and resources in pursuit of treasure, recruiting additional heroes to aid you in your perilous quest. Ballbylon has fallen. After a meteoric and completely unexpected event annihilated the great city, all that remains is an ominous, yawning pit. Treasure hunters from far and wide flock to the city’s tomb to seek their fortune, plumbing the depths in search of Ballbylon’s scattered riches. Few return. The pit plays host to armies of barbaric creatures, hellbent on ending your quest before it even begins. Armed with a growing arsenal of magic-infused projectiles, batter your way through multiple levels of increasingly challenging obstacles to claim the ultimate prizes and rebuild New Ballbylon. Fuse Your Balls The Ball Fusion system encourages explosive experimentation with over 60 randomized balls to equip and combine during your journey. Discover overpowered combinations and unexpected synergies from hundreds of possible outcomes. Build New Ballbylon Expand New Ballbylon with over 70 unique buildings that provide gameplay bonuses and unlock further power-ups, new characters, and more! As your community grows, task homebound heroes with automated tasks to keep the resources coming while you dive deeper into the pit. Discover New Realms Face legions of diverse enemies within the pit, battling through barren deserts, frozen caverns, savage forests and more. Each region offers its own unique set of hazards on top of hordes of increasingly challenging foes and mighty, screen-filling bosses. Recruit Fellow Hunters As you explore the pit you’ll encounter fellow treasure hunters eager to add their skills to your expedition. Each character has unique, upgradable mechanics that totally change the way you play the game. Experimentation and adaptation are crucial to the success of New Ballbylon!

It’s just you and a blue cube. And a second cube. And a third. And a fourth and a fifth. And ten more cubes at once. Above. Below. To the left. To the right. Smiling. Laughing. Winking. Vibing. Just you, adding cubes. But also you, deleting cubes. And blowing the whole STACC up. But that’s okay. You always get a fresh start. Just you and a blue cube. Building a STACC with each lil’ tap. Feeling good about what you made? You should. Give it a cute name and save that masterpiece so you can show it to your crush later. Feeling ambivalent? It happens. Blow your STACC to smithereens and start over. It’s free. No ads. No in app purchases. No rules. No instructions. Just cubes. And the art we know you’ll make from them. Why? We are first time game designers who launched our own card game called STACCS on Kickstarter last summer and have since sold out of our inventory of the first edition of our game. STACCS is a hexagonal deck of playing cards where the cards look like cubes. You play on a regular flat surface, but with each card you STACC, a three dimensional structure appears and grows. It’s a game, but it’s also art? While we’ve been waiting for the inventory of the second edition to arrive (no one tells you how nervewracking this is!), we designed and built a delightfully simple cube STACCING experience. We decided to focus on one of our favorite aspects of STACCS, the unintentional and unique piece of art that gets made every time you play. So, Staccary is all about glorifying the cube as a delightful tool for creation and relaxation. We hope you love this app as much as we’ve enjoyed making it. If you’re curious about our card game, sign up to get notified when we’ve got the new inventory in. And, if you’re in Columbus, Ohio at Origins Game Fair this June 18-21 come find us and get your hands on a DECC before it’s available online. If there are any bugs, please do us a kindness and report them. It’s important to us Staccary works as well as it possibly can. Thanks! Dave & Tatiana
