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.

капец я фанат!!!!!!!!! я не шучу
I have never been so in love and also so infuriated in a game about balls. The absolute audacity of the dev to make something that in direct contrast makes me want to jork my balls and rip them off at the same time is an inspiration and stomach ache...thank you, could not recommend enough...♥♥♥♥ you
It's time to lick and roll boys. I can't tell you how much fun this was to play with a couple friends. Slowly exploring the extremely atmospheric world and figuring out the surprisingly solid and dynamic feel of rolling around was so fun. This is the perfect game to throw on and joke around with some friends. And for the price, i don't know of many games that can fight with that value.

It's honestly really fun for the price point! I've paid a lot more for a lot less of an enjoyable time! It's a pretty solid precision platformer and the messing with your friends is always fun. There is a little bit of network jank and desync (the dragon is the most notable example), but besides that I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone!
The game is great, it's insane it is only 3 euros. Vibes are great, would like to have volume sliders though (e.g music, ambience etc.). First person platformer at its best.
pyramnd
Genuinely some of the most tense platforming at points as you try to battle handling your inertia and rolling around tight corners, the pyramid at the end was some of the most stressful and nerve racking platforming ive ever experienced.
性价比非常高的一款第一人称平台跳跃游戏,十几块钱的价格甚至支持和好友联机闯关,复古美术风格的画面也很有吸引力。游戏内没有直接引导玩家做出某些操作和路线上的选择,在一次次的失败和攀登中,玩家可以自行领悟到一些独特的操作技巧。不同关卡之间的差异性做得也很好,总之是一款很耐玩的硬核平台跳跃游戏,这个价格直接冲就完事!
Tongue punchin’ my bros.
10/10 , and i didnt even play multiplayer . it would be awesome to have a matchmaking system for those who not have friends :0 the vibes are 10/10 :0 :0 :0
