Ballex

Abandoned and with broken achievements

Ballex, developed and published by Mushreb Games, is a physics-based puzzle platformer that takes a very simple idea—rolling a ball across suspended platforms—and turns it into a surprisingly demanding and often tense experience. At first glance, it feels like a straightforward homage to classic balance-and-precision games, but as you spend more time with it, the depth comes not from complexity of mechanics, but from how carefully it asks you to control movement, momentum, and positioning. The core gameplay revolves around guiding a ball through floating levels filled with narrow paths, shifting platforms, and environmental hazards. Movement is smooth and responsive, but also highly sensitive, meaning that even slight adjustments can have noticeable consequences. This sensitivity is where much of the challenge comes from. Early levels ease you into the mechanics, offering wider paths and forgiving layouts, but as the game progresses, the margin for error shrinks dramatically. What begins as a calm balancing act gradually becomes a test of precision, where every movement needs to be deliberate. A key feature that adds variety to the gameplay is the ability to change the ball’s for…

This version of the game *Ballance* from Atari is remarkably similar to the original, featuring gameplay that can truly terrify anyone with a fear of heights. Plus, community-created maps add even more challenges; this game might just be the perfect way to experience *Ballance* all over again.

Looks like a cool clone, you know it will probably not be as good as the original ( Ballance, 2004) but whatever. This is just boring, why the fck is there a velocity meter, a watermark in the corner telling you what level ur on etc. Why is there so much ♥♥♥♥ on the screen? I played a few levels, and it just gets more boring as you go on, the levels are uninspired, it's bad level design and from what I've read it gets worse, so not going to bother with that. The balls don't have much weight to them, the stone ball does not feel super heavy like in the original. Also music constantly blaring out unlike the original, where cool music only played at certain points throughout the level. It's just not good sorry. Overall: Game feels easier, overcomplicated and anti-fun. The worst offender is the level / game design.

This is a decent game if you like marbles. Don't get fooled though the levels do get a bit harder after chapter 1.
