- Holiday Special is coming soon! New patch fixes performance issues and more.. - 22 December 2020
The Ball at Work Holiday Special will be gradually rolled out directly into your game and will be exclusive to DLC owners! We plan to have all the festive special graphics and content ready in time for Christmas and we'll continue to add some fancy wintery assets to the game into the new year as well! In the meantime, we have also pushed a small patch for the game where we have fixed some small bugs and made low-level changes that will hopefully improve the performance quite significantly on low-end hardware. Here's a quick summary of the changes: The final ball was set to unlock at level 42 which does not exist in the game-- this has now been corrected. We have disabled the prompts that bring up the video guide menu when you fail a level while speedrunning. We have revised the OpenGL shader precision values for multiple shaders which will hopefully improve performance on low-end hardwa…

- Ball at Work Speedrun Discord is LIVE and the competition is crazy intense! - 5 December 2020
What started as a simple mobile game back in 2019 has now come a long way and bringing this project over to PC has allowed us to fully unleash the capability of the framework that we had developed for Ball at Work. We have been pleasantly surprised to see how even the most discerning players have welcomed the prospect of a simple yet fun game based on new experimental ideas. For us, Ball at Work has always been about creating a pick-up-and-play gaming experience that is highly accessible to all gamers but takes skill and patience to master. During the recent weeks, some players have gone ahead and done Speedruns of the game and this is when we realised that Ball at Work is actually very well suited for timed competition and this can add a whole new dimension to how players experience the game. To add some form of structured competition to the game, we recently introduced the LiveWire se…

- $$ Get a taste of the upcoming DLC for FREE including the LiveWire competition! - 13 November 2020
We are burning the midnight oil to get the cracking Boss Edition DLC ready for release but since we would like to do a test run for our new features, we figured it won't be a bad idea to release them into the free app for a limited period of time ;) The latest update to Ball at Work gives the users a FREE, LIMITED-TIME sampler for the delights that we are packing in the upcoming BOSS EDITION DLC!

- Ball at Work- Boss Edition DLC Coming Very Soon!! - 30 October 2020
Listen up, ballers! We want to start by thanking you all for the support that you've shown for Ball at Work during the past month and all your feedback has been genuinely helpful to us for making the game more engaging, developing new content and improving the overall experience of the app. As big publishers continue to splurge on extensive marketing and promotion of content, it has become increasingly hard for small indie developers like us to continue working on new and innovative content whilst running a sustainable business at the same time. With the high level of engagement that Ball at Work is now seeing, it is imperative that we look for fair and ethical means for monetisation through this product without alienating our existing users and also ensure that we offer better and more varied content when we ask users to pay us their money. After a lot of development work and planning,…
- Boo!! New levels & special Halloween content is here with new tricks AND treats! - 23 October 2020

The Ball at Work Halloween special is here and in the latest update, we have introduced a system that will allow us to push new graphics and special content into the game without forcing our users to update the app! Thanks to our super-secure and trusty server, we are now able to put this feature to the test and will be soon pushing out special backgrounds, decorations and balls into the game which will ONLY BE AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED PERIOD! Play with some funky new ball-designs this Halloween and put your big head to work as you work your way around th…
- Big improvements to ball-physics, higher-res video guides and two new levels! - 14 October 2020
WHAT?! It's not even been a week since we treated y'all with a big update and we're back again with more? It's just how we do things at Famous Dogg-- we are constantly listening to every single one of our users and are once again ready to introduce more content and improvements to Ball at Work! In version 1.6, we have revised the forces and other physics that act on the ball with a lot of testing and experimentation to give players the "snappier" and more responsive feel that they have craved in this game from the day we released it! With dynamic adjustments being made to the ball's mass during gameplay, it will feel lighter when you need to make those quick changes in direction but never too light and airy that it gets twitchy and hard to handle in small spaces... basically, the physics are BANG ON! We have also improved the video guides and re-encoded the animations for every single l…

To deliver the most exhilarating and optimised gameplay experience to you guys, we at Famous Dogg, have been hard at work on Ball at Work :p The latest update of v1.5 is the BIGGEST UPDATE so far to the game and is set to completely change the way hints are presented to a user if they find themselves struggling with any particular level. We have dropped the path-guide system in favour of a far more helpful system through the introduction of the all new VIDEO GUIDES! Simply click on the video guide button on the top-left corner of the screen during any level, spend some Bonus Slips to unlock the video guide and you wil…
