The Ballpit
Check out how I made this on YouTube:
About this game:
A small incremental game where you collect balls, to get more money, to get more balls, to get more money, etcetera. There's no saving (yet), but the playtime is only 1-2 hours, so there's really not much need for it yet.
There's a secret in this game as well. The rewards have already been claimed now, but you can still try and find it if you'd like. ;)
Hope you enjoy, let me know if you have any questions or ideas for this game, and make sure to check out the YouTube video!

ball?
Good game but it's so boring for me.
hand of god is difficult to use
what was in the update
Seeing as you get way too much Rainbow Balls later on, i'd say that increasing the RB cost for Plinko every tier, as well as adding a RB Shop (not sure what could be there) could work very well
Also, selling frequently seems to make you have negative balls???
i eated all the fruit balls
i got the secret but nothing is happening, why is that? it might be a bug but idk.
Hat a good few hours of fun with it. +1
Everyone wants to know the secret, so I will give you a hint. (i am not loke, i am just a hinter)

This is the only hint i will give.
I hope my comment doesnt get deleted. Please, loke. I dont even know the prize. I dont care about the prize.
Auto-sell seems to stop working after some time and then not restart. Error in console:
FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

Damn, thanks for the detailed report!
Thanks for the game! It is very enjoyable - it is kind of soothing/hypnotic watching the balls bounce around. It would be great to have this as an Android app so I could play it at night on my way to bed. Layout-wise it's already all good in landscape.
You might have it save your progress so you can exit the app and come back. You might remove the hover popovers which don't play nicely with mobile (ideally change them to little info boxes you tap to bring up the popover - then tap the popover to close it).
If you were to put ads in that box where you presently link to YouTube that would be pretty acceptable for most mobile gamers I would imagine - then you've got an income stream to support further development.
It would be cool to see the game built out a bit with a prestige mechanic (that just puts a base multiplier on - 2 to the power of the times you've ascended), more ball tiers and maybe even some new mechanics (I imagine balls that repel others or have reversing gravity, balls you can click to make them explode, "enemies" that eat balls but if you tap them you get the balls back plus a multiplier, a research lab where you research new balls, etc.)
Hand of God doesn't seem to work consistently. If I have 59 balls in the pit, it seems like I can only grab one of the ones on the top... not clear exactly how it's choosing which one I can grab.
make a prestige layer and add a pixel art thing for the dark gray panels please
Good idea!
The Ballpit Gameplay
Considering there's no save, this game takes way too long to get going. It's boring and I don't know how else to interact with the game so I can't find any secrets.
I really like the tooltips though.
Ever since I upgraded to Tier 2, the counter keeps stuttering. 22, no, 21 no, 22, no 21, 23 now...
The odds of losing money is a little high considering how often Rainbow Balls spawn in. Maybe at least add more pins on the outside to prevent a guaranteed loss?
hey uh, my comment got removed from the ball suggestion vid, its probably bc i use a school email for YT,but even if i donlt get the ball i want ill still put it here bc i thought it was a good idea.
you Should ask "Lectvs_" on itch to use a ball from his game "Auto Balls", it might not do any thing special but it could be a new tier, or maybe they could spin around the pit like in auto balls.
and maybe with a bit of convincing Lectvs_ might update my favorite game.
Cool idea!
hell yeah 63 billion in one sell coming right up
Almost at 59 rainbow balls lol
Rip 10b they fell and didnt bounce to any side now they are just standing there forever.
Omg did it just balance on the top??? If that's the case then fixing this bug tomorrow😭😅
wowza :/
good game
music sounds like battleblock theatre
add a like higher rewards and loss plinko machine and make it cost 10 rb balls
For some reason, the balls dont merge. The ballpit balls dont merge into sport balls. I dont know how they can merge now.
You need to buy higher tiers in the shop to make the balls merge.
I just realised I am an idiot.
WHAT. THE. F-
Found the secret!
Can I get a hint?
get 59 rainbow balls in one sell, then you get a secret, i searced for about 2 hours on a max account and found it by goofing around, but it asks that you leave the prize secret. get it yourself :)
it bugged out on me at first and i somehow sold 60 rainbow balls at once and had to redo it.
Ah, okay. I was kinda already on the right track then. Thanks!
either your lying or my game glitched either way I just wasted 1 hour :C
its called we do a little trolling
-_-
LOL
No save. Came back and all my progress was gone.
That's right, not yet. It says so in the description. If this game evolves into something that takes more than 2 hours to complete, I'll add saving.
this game is the true form of capitalism exectialy the part then pandas and tigers become burgers and pizzas for profit
Hahaha truuuue!!
Sadly, this is not a cheatcode :( ↑↑↓↓←→←→BA
add pride flag tier
Make it a lot easier to sell due to it doesnt always sell all balls
I found the secret
dude what was it
i maxed out and tried everything i could find/think of
ya dont need maxed stuf
