About This Game

Welcome to Ballex²: The Hanging Gardens, a physics-driven indie game where high-altitude rolling meets strategic puzzles! Here, you will take control of nine unique spheres to conquer breathtaking aerial wonders and experience an unprecedented challenge that combines physics-based puzzles with demanding controls.

Nine Distinct Balls: Unique Abilities, Deeper Strategy

From the classic wood, stone, and paper balls to new additions like balloon, sponge, and sticky balls, each ball features its own physical properties.

Adapt your strategy to each level’s environment and puzzles—leverage each ball’s traits to trigger mechanisms, overcome obstacles, and immerse yourself in a whole new level of strategic depth and tactile control.

Dual Control Modes: Play Your Way

Whether you prefer the classic four-directional view or a more free third-person control, Ballex² has you covered:

  • Classic Four-Directional View Mode (for more precise turning and movement): Use the arrow keys to roll, A/D to rotate the camera, and Space to switch to a top-down view.

  • Free View Mode (for a more immersive rolling experience): Use WASD to move, mouse to adjust the camera direction, and Space to lock the camera to 45-degree increments.

No jump button—just pure mastery of gravity and inertia. Every acceleration, turn, and fall is a test of your skill against the laws of physics.

40 Official Levels: A Progressive Challenge

Featuring 40 meticulously crafted stages—20 mainline and 20 side levels—Ballex² offers something for both newcomers and hardcore players.

The main levels are centered around the fantastical beauty of the hanging gardens, blending visual artistry with physics-based puzzles. The side levels take the challenge even further, pushing your skills and logic to new heights as you conquer them one by one.

Free DLC: Level Editor

With the free Level Editor DLC, unleash your creativity and build your own custom map:

  • Use built-in assets or import your own models, textures, and audio;

  • Script mechanisms and unique gameplay with JavaScript support;

  • Publish your creations to the Steam Workshop and share them with players worldwide.
