Game With Balls is now available!

[p]Hi everyone! Game With Balls is now available for everyone to play on the Steam Deck! 50 handcrafted levels made out of wood, drawings, handstitched, etc. I want to thank everyone for the support I had and have on this little project of mine!
[/p][p]If you find any bugs please report them in Steam Discussions, common questions are answered in the FAQ and let me know what you think of Game With Balls by leaving a little review on Steam![/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]During 2026 still more levels will be added and the first new theme that I can announce is History! 20 new levels based on the designs from back in the past, because mazes are going back thousands of years and were often used for meditation or storytelling. Coming Q2![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Besides the new theme I also have planned little levels that will be added throughout the year. Some season themed, some tied to certain announcement (sssttt some are still a secret) and maybe some because I felt like making a new game.[/p][p][/p][h2]For now thank you all and I hope you enjoy this little thing that has been in my head for the past year.

The game is now complete!

Hi everyone! Happy new year and a great 2026 already.

One of the goals I had for Game With Balls was to have the main game ready in 2025. And in good old fashion it is the last day of 2025 and I just added the last level to the game! Going to do some more testing on the achievements and then it is ready to be enjoyed by others.

But that is not all I wanted to post about. While the release date is approaching, I am planning regular little updates after release in 2026. One of the larger ones will drop in Q2 with a new theme...

Thank you all for the support on this little project of mine for the past half year.

Ah and the price is set. In US dollars the game will cost $5.99 and in euros it will be €5.89, but the price will differ depending on the region using Steam’s regional pricing.

Hope you guys are looking forward to the release! At least I am. Just doing some finetuning and last polish at the moment.

Thank you!

Cheers,

Geert

Partial fix connecting controller to Steam Deck

Hi everyone! Somebody reported an issue in the demo with their Steam Controller and the Steam Deck a while ago that I didn't really understood, but ran into recently. In short if you connected a gyro controller to the Steam Deck it took the input of the controller AND the Steam Deck.

The demo is now patched with a partial fix where if you connect a controller to the Steam Deck it disables the movement of the Steam Deck. The only thing you need to check manually, most of the cases it automatically swaps, is that the order of the controllers are correct. Something I am still investigating. The fix has been tested with a Switch and PS5 controller.

A short explanation in the video:

Thank you all for trying out the demo and leaving reviews/posts in discussions as it really helps getting this game ready for release!
