Short Game Description:

Aim, bounce, smash and grind your way through Ballgame, a ballsy physics platformer where you ARE the ball. Compete in challenging tournaments, speed-driven heists, and physics-bending courses where the precision of golf meets the speed of pinball!

Long Game Description:

Golf like never before: Ballgame is the physics platformer that’s bonkers, chaotic, merciless, and rewarding. You don’t hit the ball, you are the ball. Play as Dolf, a newly sentient golf ball smashing, bouncing, and grinding your way through high-stakes tournaments then racing against the clock in heists. Discover who you are… where you are… and why you are in an interdimensional hotel for lost balls.

`Precision Physics Platformer`

At its core, Ballgame is simple: get from the tee to the hole in as few shots as possible. But can you control the chaos? Try, die, and try again in a frenetic physics playground full of hazards and delights! Set across the hotel's curious locales, every handcrafted course tests your shot with precise platforming puzzles. Discover dozens and dozens of devious holes while you leap in bullet-time, float in bubbles, grind on rails, and die on spikes. Cause mayhem … or just play freaking golf!

`Master The Roll`

Ballgame is rewarding and ruthless. Master every shot, ride curves, bend the bounce, shape the roll, and dominate every tournament. Each stroke is a chance to improve and score higher on the leaderboard. In tournament mode, every stroke counts. Can you make it under par? Can you find the cosmic path and make it under zero? Precision is everything; but, happy accidents make every course fun to master. Get good, hone your skills, and rise to the top.

Win Glory in Heists

Test your mastery in races against the clock when a shifty eyed magpie named Corvus challenges you to an all-out hustle against time. These are fiendish races where precision meets probability. You’ll throw everything you know about golf out the window. It’s a sprint across nine back-to-back holes where strokes don’t matter. Speed is the name of the game.

`Build Your Ballmanac`

If you stay on the ball, you’ll earn glory and pennies… lots of pennies! Those pennies are valuable to the local bug proprietors and band: The Actual Beetles. Trade your pennies in to complete the Ballmanac. Ball so hard with customizations, upgrades, and over 99 balls to discover and collect.

`Momentum is Everything`

Our team at Human Computer plans to launch Ballgame later in 2026. We have a ton of features and ideas for launch and beyond. However, we want to build Ballgame with you. Play our demo, join our Discord, and share ideas and thoughts with us. We read everything!

Smash, bounce, and grind your way through Ballgame, a ballsy physics platformer where you ARE the ball. Compete in high-stakes tournaments, physics-bending parlor games, and pinball-inspired courses that are anything but golf!

`Precision Physics Platformer`

At its core, Ballgame is simple: get from the tee to the hole in as few shots as possible. Simplicity becomes complex in handcrafted courses with platforming challenges, balancing precise shots, and controlled mayhem. Improve every swing and navigate obstacles and objects: spike off bumpers, grind on rails, float in a bubble, die on spikes, and control the chaos. Every shot is a kinetic reaction.

`Master The Roll`

Ballgame is rewarding and ruthless. Master every shot, ride curves, bend the bounce, shape the roll, and dominate every tournament. Each stroke is a chance to improve and score higher on the leaderboard. We've smashed together the skills of every ball game: golf, pinball, pachinko, skeeball… You name it. Precision is everything; but, happy accidents make every course fun to master.

`Build Your Ballmanac`

Stay on the ball, win tournaments, then test your mastery in the Parlor. It's filled with chaotic arcade-style minigames where precision meets probability. Each trip to the Parlor earns you Figment, Ballgame's currency. Ball so hard with customizations, upgrades, and over 99 balls to unlock and discover along the way.

`Momentum is Everything`

Look for a Steam demo in the coming months and in the meantime, share ideas and thoughts with us on socials or in the Steam community hub. We read everything!
