What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Ball Punchers will leave early access once most bugs are fixed and we are sure of the intended player experience. I believe in providing a well-rounded product. My ability to test every last feature in every possible scenario is not fathomable. That's why we are going into early access to allow players to enjoy the game while they help us make it better.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Ball Punchers should be in early access the first year after release. Early access is granted to customers in order to develop the full scope of the game using the player's feedback. We estimate this process will take approximately 1 year after early access release and then go to full release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“There are 8 levels in early access with 2 additional levels planned for release. The early access version has 15 characters with 5 additional characters planned at release. Balancing may be done to fighting style and damage depending on player feedback. There is potential for workshop additions.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, the game has 8 levels and 15 characters available. Ball Punchers has full functionality for "couch party" gaming, with 4 - player local multiplayer, each player using a gamepad controller or keyboard.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price may rise after leaving early access. Depending on the development time the price may increase gradually after leaving early access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We are taking all feedback from reviews and emails from our players at pinkturtlegames@gmail.com , and our twitter @_BallPunchers”

About This Game

Ball Punchers is a high-intensity, fast-paced, beat 'em-up party game. The only goal is to be the last man -er ball standing. Change levels mid-match by collecting shards and opening the level portal. This game is currently in development and only supports local multiplayer for now.



This game is best played using a gamepad. There is currently limited keyboard support but key bindings are not yet implemented.
This game requires at least 2 gamepads in order to enjoy the full experience.
Roadmap


Couch Co-op Fun

All together on one screen(2-4 Players) in a unique 3rd person brawler, experience exciting, fast-paced combat.





Bob and Weave

With a number of different combos, you can design your own style of fighting. Mix up light and heavy attacks to string together devastating combos. Counter with a belly bump to create distance and set your opponent up for an attack. Risk leaving yourself open with a crushing slam attack that will knock your opponents out cold, but be aware, missing this attack can lead to severe punishment!





Mutation Cards

When entering a portal, each player is granted a random mutation card that gives the player special abilities (up to 5).






Portal Party!

If all level gems are collected on your fighting stage the portal will open to allow players to teleport to another fighting stage, mid-match. The unlucky players that don’t make it to the portal in time before it closes will miss out on a portal mutation.





Fight in Style

Whether you’re a Viking, a vampire, a distinguished gentleman, or a lovable puppy dog, the choice is up to you on who you want to be when you enter the arena. Ball Punchers come in many different shapes and sizes, so you can choose from a long lineup of whacky characters.





Fighting Stages

Each fighting stage will have a different hazard or opportunity, so you will always be on your toes, changing fighting tactics throughout the matches. You never know where you may fight, it could be a sunny beach with hungry sharks or inside an arcade gumball machine.
