About

Creature Ball

Features
Read full description

*Creature Ball is a relaxed fantasy soccer manager about tinkering, watching, and cheering your team on.* Build your team from lions, gorillas, octopuses, ants, and seahorses. Decide on your lineup, tactics, training, transfers, amulets, and club development โ€” then watch your team battle for victory in fully simulated matches. During the match, you cannot directly interfere. And that is exactly the charm: your decisions matter before kick-off. After that, it is all about cheering, hoping, and occasionally complaining about players who seem completely blind. The simulation is exciting, rough, and lovably weird. When a gorilla knocks over a seahorse, it simply stays down for a while. At the same time, there is real depth beneath the surface: player attributes, tactics, and amulets all influence what happens on the pitch. Assistant coach Hugi helps you get started and explains the game whenever you need it. You can play Creature Ball at a relaxed pace, but you can also dive deep into stats, numbers, and optimization. Alongside tactics, training, player auctions, stadium upgrades, catering, prediction, finances, and amulet upgrades, there is a lively league newspaper with match reports, injury news, jokes, tips, and awards such as top scorer or bankruptcy buzzard. Play solo at your own pace, lead your team from League 3 all the way to the League 1 championship, and earn your place in the global Hall of Fame. Or start your own league with up to 10 coaches โ€” run by a game master, privately with friends, or in public groups. Snatch the best sponsors from your rivals, outbid them in heated player auctions, and share your match recordings with each other. *In short:* free, ad-free, lovably weird โ€” and hopefully just the thing for people who enjoy manager games and love cheering from the sidelines.

About

Magekeep Siege

Read full description

Hold the tower. Grow the keep. Raid the seas. Magekeep Siege is a 3D hex-citadel sim. You are the warden of a living island โ€” farms, lumber, mines, houses, and barracks tick in real time, even while you are away. Wave defense is one activity of that citadel, not the whole game. BUILD THE HEX KEEP โ€ข Place farms, mills, mines, houses, markets, taverns, and barracks on a hex island โ€ข Chop wall groves, bridge to nearby islets, and upgrade plots up to level 6 โ€ข Food, wood, iron, and gold keep producing for up to 8 hours while you are gone HIRE AND RAID โ€ข Hire knights from the castle once a farm is running โ€ข March them against other players' keep snapshots โ€ข Win gold โ€” or send them to rest if the raid fails DEFEND THE WALLS โ€ข Your mage holds the battlements against rogues, slimes, and warbands โ€ข Draft blessings, cast Inferno / Frost / Storm, and grow the roof mage โ€ข Outposts, biomes, and prestige sigils deepen a long run This is an original Balcony Games title. Combat, keep economy, knight raids, and the first-session citadel tutorial were built for Magekeep โ€” not a reskin of a wave-defense template.
