*** The Naturalist Update *** BALL x PIT's final free update is The Naturalist Update, which brings a selection of new balls and passives to your favorite ball-bouncing roguelite, as well as two new characters. The first new character, The Ballbearer, doubles down on firepower, literally, giving you twice the amount of Ball slots to build an arsenal – at the cost of giving up passive items completely. Then, on the flipside, there's The Hoary Hoarder, who only has room for two Ball slots, but makes up for it with double the amount of passive slots, letting powerful item Evolutions do the heavy lifting. The Naturalist Update also adds 11 new Balls to the mix. Lightning Bug lights up the battlefield by spawning a firefly with every bounce, seeking out the strongest enemy before zapping nearby targets with a burst of lightning. Drill tears through enemies from behind, piercing straight through them and dealing extra damage along the way. Armageddon calls down a destructive meteor shower the moment it hits an enemy. You'll have to discover the rest yourself. The Naturalist Update also features 5 new passives, including Platinum Dumbbell, which rewards clean shots, giving your balls a damage boost that lasts until they finally collide with the back wall. Inglorious Hammer keeps the pressure on after a bounce, causing balls that hit a wall or the back of the arena to immediately strike a random enemy for reduced damage. Remote Detonator turns every kill into another explosive opportunity. All of this and more awaits you in The Naturalist Update! *** 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!
