Sadly, really unfinished. I regret buying it now. If you're thinking about buying it just because you played Balance; please don't do it. You'll only end up being disappointed :(
Horrible , horrible game. I wish this game was even remotelly as good as the game it strives ti copy - Ballance , but its not. Lame puzzles that will sometimes leave you stranded , thanks to poor level design that lets you go to the end of the level before you have activated all the check points , making you unable to complete the level and go back , leaving you with the only option of restarting. I wont even go into the whole "the menu is in 10 different languages" rant , as other reviews have covered it enough,I was hyped for a Ballance clone on steam and I feel ripped off to the extreme. On the plus side: Controller support has been partially implemented so there is that. You still cant navigate the menus with it but at least you can roll that ball into a dead end.

I played this game when it was named Balance, and it was so cool and beautiful. The beautiful environment and the relaxing graphics were amazing so i bought this game hoping for a same experience. It was disappointing. This game is something else. Critical bugs and much, much heavier than balance, even the physics of balance were better.
While the title is "Puzzle Ball" this game is more like a 3D puzzle platformer. You roll a ball around a floating 3D structure with a nice ancient architecture theme, going through pipes and collecting various keys and hitting targets to complete each level. The graphics are decent enough for an indy game but the controls are a little frustrating - no mouse support, so changing camera angles relies on a fixed keyboard method which is completely unintuitive. This makes negotiating the levels somewhat irritating when it could have been very natural with a better interface. This is a near miss, it would be nice to have a "maybe" button, but annoying controls and lack of mouse support makes this game not quite good enough to recommend.
这不是平衡球!要玩平衡球的千万不要买!
Pros: Has a level editor. Some decent enough levels and the same graphics as Ballance (Atari). Cons: Not as polished as Ballance (lots of missing sounds, language mixups, russian in the middle of english sentences etc.) Not as complete as Ballance, Lacks the great levels that made Ballance so good. The level editor is unfinished and difficult to use. Overall: Get Ballance It's a better game. This is alright, If its free or ever completed (fixed).
[h1] Что тут у нас? Ремейк Ballance 3D? Замечательно [/h1] Перед нами находится нечто весьма необычное - современный Баланс с кучей приблуд, но всё-таки и с недостатками. Начнём, конечно, с плюсов [h1] Плюсы [/h1] Ностальгия Очень даже красивая графика Мультиплеер на двоих Возможность создавать свои уровни и испытывать творения других Смена материала шара Физика объектов Больше особо ничего не заметил. Теперь можно перейти к минусам [h1] Минусы [/h1] Всего одна мелодия (Или не одна, но я не заметил других) Отсутствие каких-либо других звуков, кроме мелодии (Можно было бы добавить звуки горения пламени, смены материала, передвижения шара, отталкивающего воздуха и завершения уровня) Некоторая однообразность уровней Неполный перевод (Какой язык вы бы не выбирали, одна фраза всё-равно останется на... немецком) Цена [h1] Итог [/h1] В целом игра понравилась, но, надеюсь, если разработчики вообще читают обзоры, то они заметят мой и исправят ошибки. [spoiler] Купил игру по распродаже <Выходных Аниме> - ни одной тян не нашёл((( [/spoiler]
Half of the text in the game isn't even english!
Neither a bad nor a good game. But the reason for me making this review a negative one is that the devs are lying with their information on their shop page. It's stated that this game has multiplayer, coop and cross-plattform coop but it actuall has only split screen coop. Stay away from this game if you want to play online coop, this feature does not exist.
Garbage.
