What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“After developing Ballex1, I hope to recreate a rolling ball game with more complex gameplay, more beautiful graphics, and more freedom to make custom levels, so I made Ballex².
As the gameplay becomes more complex, I hope to make this game even better when it is released. Before the 1.0 version is released, this game needs more players to participate, to test new gameplay and new functions together, and hope to receive more fresh ideas.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The Early Access state will last about 20 months.”

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

“1. Built-in levels: At present, the built-in levels are not complete, and the built-in levels will be gradually supplemented in subsequent updates. Finally, 16 EASY mode levels and 16 HARD mode levels and more side levels are planned to be completed.
2. Custom levels: It is planned to add more available functions to make it easier to create more personalized levels.
3. More gameplay and features: such as online mode, challenge mode, etc., the details are not yet decided, and we will consider adding more fun gameplay.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current early access version already has 16 built-in levels for the easy mode. The workshop has been available so that players can now create their own levels for the game. There are a number of custom maps available in the workshop so far, all of which are highly playable.
The game is currently undergoing a remake and will be released in a better appearance later.”

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

“I plan to gradually increase the pricing as new content and features are added.”

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

“If you encounter some problems in the game, you can always contact the developers through the developer email, Discord or discussion boards of the Steam community, etc. If you have a good idea that you want to add to the game, you can also discuss it with the developer.”

About This Game

Ballex² is a third-person rolling ball game, the sequel to Ballex. You will control a ball, enjoy the scenery of the four seasons, overcome obstacles and solve various puzzles.

10 Unique Balls

Ballex² adds three additional balls comparing to Ballex. At present, there are 10 different types of balls with their own characteristics, players need to make good use of the characteristics of different balls to clear the level.

Control Modes

Ballex² supports two control modes.
1. Classic four-direction view: Similar to Ballex, you will use the arrow keys to control the movement of the ball, the A and D keys are used to rotate the viewing angle 90 degrees clockwise and counterclockwise, and the space key can be used to look down.
2. Free-look view: Similar to some third-person games, you can use the WASD key to control the movement of the ball, the mouse to adjust the direction of the view, and the space bar to lock the viewing angle to a multiple of 45 degrees, which is convenient for passing some specific roads.

Physical Systems

Ballex² uses Havok as the physics engine, which can bring a more stable and efficient physics simulation experience. At the same time, the feel of controlling the ball has also been adjusted for a long time and has reached a more comfortable state.

Workshop is Available

Ballex² supports in-game access to the Steam Workshop, where you can play excellent levels made by other players, and you can also use the level editor DLC to make your own levels.

Level Editor

Ballex² offers a more advanced level editor, which you can get as a free DLC. Not only can you use the assets provided in the editor to build levels, but you can also import your own models, pictures, and music to create more personalized levels. At the same time, you can use MiniScript to write your own game logic, and even create levels of completely different game types.
You can see more details on the Level Editor DLC page.
