    Howdy, balls 1.1.1 has the following goodies: - fix Interest ball breaking the game due to bad math (oops). No longer receive endless coins when having an interest ball, and instead have the coin chance be properly capped to max 5% increase.

  • balls 1.1.0: The Staballity Update - 7 May 2026

    Howdy! I hope you enjoyed playing balls as much as I enjoyed making it. Today I'm happy to release the update 1.1.0: The Staballity Update!!! This update comes with a ton of stability fixes to the game which should make the experience smoother! Here's what's new: New features and updates: - Added scientific notation for high scores and guards against Very Large Numbers, as some players got scores so high that they went negative. - Minor performance improvements coming from better handling the lifetime of temporary objects on screen. Bug fixes: - Do not crash the game when restarting a game when a Fire ball had not exploded in the previous one. - Greatly reduce occurrences "stuck explosions", a bug in which explosions would stay stuck in the screen for a long time. - Greatly reduce occurrences of negative triggered ball counts which sometimes caused rounds to get stuck. - Fix the Auto ba…

  • Hotfix v1.0.4 - 20 April 2026

    Howdy! We have yet another patch to make balls more fun! Here are the changes: - fix an issue where Eight balls would sometimes explode twice - fix an issue where the Wish select did not keep its focus when playing with a controller - fix an issue where balls' prices would scale faster than they should across games - fix an issue where the game would freeze and not advance to the next round (now it should be possible to get unstuck by just clicking)

  • Hotfix v1.0.3 - 12 April 2026

    Howdy, there is another hotfix incoming with the following changes: - fix the game incorrectly going to windowed mode on game start - nerf the heart ball to make it one-use only. - fix display of remaining rounds and total rounds especially when these change during rounds. - increase the price of the Extra click ball, and its price scaling

  • Hotfix 1.0.2 - 8 April 2026

    Howdy! The first hotfix for balls includes the following: - fix an issue in which effect volume was not persisted after closing the game. - nerf Spawner balls and Spawner ball spawner balls by setting a hard limit on how many balls can be spawned, as some players reported getting stuck in infinite loops of spawning balls (oops). - nerf the Extra click ball by making it scale in price after buying it. - fix an issue in which respawn timers kept running even when the game was paused. - add a round timer of 60s after clicking, after which balls will stop respawning. This is to prevent games getting stuck in endless loops if something goes wrong. I hope you have fun and thank you for playing balls! 🐕

Short description

A chain-reaction deck-building game in which you build the perfect combo machine to achieve the highest-scoring explosion chains.

About this game

balls is a chain reaction game with deck-building mechanics in which you embrace chance and chaos to hit the ever-increasing target score. Start with a small explosion and watch how the reaction extends! A casual roguelite: the game can be played in short runs and does not require a lot of focus. A deck-building game without a deck : the randomness and chaos of the game is directly derived from the bounciness of balls in screen. No decks, no shuffling! Build the perfect combo machine: combine powerful special balls to try and build the perfect combo. Use spawner balls to add more balls to the field, power-up balls to buff nearby balls, or build-up balls that get more powerful the longer the chain reaction goes.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $1.99
  • Highest observed: $1.99

balls's USD price history spans from Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $1.99, the highest is $1.99, and the first visible tracked price is $1.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

balls's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $1.99, from Oct 6, 2026 through Oct 6, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $1.99. The latest run records $1.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $1.99
  • Current list price: $1.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records balls at $1.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
