HAPPY BONKIN' NEW YEAR!

2025 is going to be an interesting year for Ballionaire.



We’re not going to tell you what we have planned just yet (where would the fun be in that) but what we will tell you is...stuff, there will be stuff. STUFF IS PLANNED.



Until we've got all our stuff to share, thank you for supporting Ballionaire. All over 100,000 of you. Excuse me while I spiral into the void of existential pressure.



See you in 2025!

Reviewing the Reviews

Not us, obsessively combing the internet for Ballionaire reviews like Bill Paxton searching for the Coeur de la Mer from Titanic. If you don't understand that reference then I really don't know what to say.

Join us in our mania, here's some reviews for Ballionaire if you're on the fence:



[h2]PC Gamer [/h2] - https://www.pcgamer.com/games/roguelike/ballionaire-review/
"A pachinko-roguelike that properly rewards strategic play. Terrific."

[h2]Rogueliker [/h2] - https://rogueliker.com/ballionaire-early-access-review/
|There is so much potential for replayability here, and with more content on the horizon, I’d happily recommend it...|

[h2]Screen Rant [/h2] - https://screenrant.com/ballionaire-game-review-pc/
"This zesty score-chaser blends deckbuilder and autobattler genres with physics-based gameplay, giving way to considerable depth and stimulating feedback that packs the screen with sweet, sweet numbers."

[h2]GodisaGeek.com [/h2] - https://www.godisageek.com/reviews/ballionaire-review/
"...building a brilliant board of pegs that leaves you rolling in cash feels amazing and makes all those losses feel worth it."

[h2]GameSpew [/h2] - https://www.gamespew.com/2024/12/ballionaire-review/
"A zany pachinko-inspired roguelike, I just can't get enough of Ballionaire. It's colourful, it's fast-paced, and it's incredibly moreish. Despite its simple concept, it feels infinitely deep thanks to the amount of different triggers you can place on your board, and I'm not sure I'll ever get bored of playing."

Trials and Tribulations

Understanding your tiggers, knowing your Spawners from your Holders and having a strategy for your synergy is a really good basis for becoming a Ballionaire…

But let me tell you a little bit about Tribulations.



There are a number of these in Ballionaire that can range from “no big deal” to “why would you do this to me?!”

Let’s look at a couple.

A good example is Befuddlement which means that teleporters have a chance to teleport to a random teleporter not a higher one. Plans? What plans!



Abeyance causes cooldowns to last 50%/100%/200% longer, could ruin a good thing you’ve got going.



Diminution diminishes your triggers in a standard draft when you consecutively reroll, to a minimum of 1! That’s mean!!



Tribulations mean you have to switch things up, think on your feet and above all bonk smart! You can find details of all the Tribulations in the Ballpedia in the options menu.

Over 100,000 of you?!

So... a little birdy (ie. the back end of Steam that lays everything out in neat little rows... so I guess it's less of a bird and more of a glorified spreadsheet_) told us that over 100,000 people have already bought Ballionaire.

Excuse me while I go lay horizontal for a while and stare into the void. The comforting, comforting void.

OK, I'm back, they told me it wasn't my time yet.

Wow, thank you all so much for giving our autobonker a try. We've got so much more planned for January but honestly, we'll add in what y'all most want to see. More triggers? Sure. Mods? Hell ya. Boards? Music? QoL? WHAT DO YOU WANT? We have no shame, we are monkeys that will dance to your tune. Tell us what you want on Discord!

OK, back to staring at figures and rocking gently.

BONK OUT!
