About
THE CANON OF BALLS is the hardcore, first-person platforming experience you and your friends have been waiting for. Imagine putting Shadow of the Colossus' PS2 aesthetics and Monkey Ball's gameplay into a blender and mixing them thoroughly. What comes out is an easy-to-learn, hard-to-master open-world multiplayer experience to explore and master together with your friends. A vast open world, with each platforming track bringing its own interesting twist, is waiting for you — all of this with no hand-holding. There are no minimaps, quest markers, or tutorials.
The game can also be completed in offline solo mode. No friends required.
I put a lot of work into the sound design to give the BALLS as much weight as possible, all to create a snappy gameplay experience with memorable juice. The world is fully "handcrafted" to be a non-repetitive, non-modular open world. I purposely didn't build a modular "copy and paste" kit to craft the levels. All of the parkour courses feature a specific idea, twist, or thought to make sure everything feels fresh in a different way. No AI art assets have been used.
From the start, I knew THE CANON OF BALLS should be something to experience with friends. Without setting any rules or multiplayer objectives, the world provides its own platform to give birth to fun, memorable, virtual togetherness. The premise was the good old days of playing Minecraft parkour maps and talking about all kinds of things while you struggled together. You can be competitive and see who reaches a crystal first, or play more cooperatively, navigating together and waiting for each other. The freedom is in the hands of the group, and I can't wait to see how you all choose to play it. The word "co-op" might be a bit stretched for the game, as there are no real mechanics that require multiple players—it all works solo. However, the true social moments are what make this experience so special.

Really solid retro-style platformer/collect-a-thon. Super weird set up but the mechanics are solid and fun, the game is challenging but not super sweaty or frustrating. Reminds me a lot of being a kid playing Spyro 3 on the PS1, on a big map and collecting eggs from different challenges you can see throughout. Encourages exploration without being confusing or annoying. Can confirm Steam Controller works without any setup required, but prefer mouse and keyboard (more control for me that way). Haven't played with friends but I bet it's a blast, working through the map and figuring out the best way to collect each crystal and explore. The world here has a STRAFTAT quality to the color grading and the sound design (compliment). Overall super into this one and will def play through to the end! At 3.99 it's a steal.
Yes
played for a bit alone, the vibes are sick, just need to gift it to 10 friends and get balling 🙏
A man needs his game. This is it.
Incredible game, I can't wait to play with friends ! Map looks huge, gameplay is smooth and frustrating (in a good kind of way). For the price its a no brainer, buy one for your friends!
