About This Game

Two bodies. One connection. Endless possibilities.

Roll, swing, launch and cause chaos as you take control of a Ball and Stick unlike anything you've played before. Master their unique physics, overcome dangerous environments and explore the enormous interior of an alien spacecraft on a mission that quickly becomes much stranger than expected.

MASTER THE BALL & STICK

You don't control a conventional character. You control a Ball and Stick connected together, with each part responding to your inputs independently.

Roll across platforms, use the Stick to reach, swing and manipulate your surroundings, build momentum, and learn to work with the physics rather than against them. Once you master the relationship between the Ball and Stick, you'll be able to pull off movements that look impossible at first.

EXPLORE A MASSIVE ALIEN SHIP

Something enormous has arrived in Earth's orbit — and you've somehow ended up inside it.

Navigate sprawling mechanical environments filled with giant machinery, moving platforms, gears, hazards, strange technology and unpredictable obstacles. From industrial chambers to mysterious alien facilities, every new area introduces something different to overcome.

And keep an eye out for the ship's inhabitants. The Triangulons aren't quite as terrifying as their surroundings might suggest...

DISCOVER WILD ATTACHMENTS

Your Stick isn't just for swinging around.

Collect and equip a variety of attachments that change what your Ball & Stick can do. Mix and match attachments on either end of the Stick to create different combinations and approaches to the challenges ahead.

Experiment with your loadout, discover new possibilities and find the combinations that work best for you.

Plasma Gun, RPG Launcher, Spear, Torch, Rocket Engine, Gravity Shield (aka Anti-Gravity), E.M.P. ( Electro magnetic pulse), Electro-Magnet, Piston Punch, Fork Loader, Levitron, Repulsor, Gravity Well, Phase Anchor, Grapple Claw. More might be added from Steam Next Fest and Early Access feed back.

MAKE YOUR BALL & STICK YOUR OWN

Unlock a growing collection of character skins that transform the look of your Ball & Stick.

From mechanical designs to bizarre creatures and completely unexpected transformations, skins give your character their own personality — because if you're going to roll through an alien spaceship, you might as well look good doing it.

PLAY SOLO Through the Story Levels

With physics-driven gameplay in  chaotic environments, things don't always go according to plan — and that's often where the fun begins. Story levels contain many fascinating machines for you to have fun with a slower pace than the multiplayer arena's.

Multi-Player ARENAS

When you're ready for some competition, jump into Arena Levels designed specifically for multiplayer mayhem. Battle it out, master the arenas and discover who can keep their Ball & Stick under control when everything goes wrong.

A STRANGE STORY IS UNFOLDING

What begins as a journey through a mysterious alien ship soon becomes something much bigger.

Meet the Triangulons, complete missions, discover what's happening aboard the ship and uncover the secrets hidden deep within its mechanical interior.

Just remember: not everything on this ship wants you to succeed.

🎵 A Soundtrack Built for the Chaos

Turn it up. Things are about to get loud.

Ball & Stick: Orbital Collapse! features an energetic soundtrack created specifically to complement the game's fast-paced physics, frantic movement and chaotic action. From the moment you enter the Clockwork City, the music helps drive the momentum and keeps the action feeling alive as you roll, launch, bounce and battle your way through the world.

And the soundtrack isn't the only thing making some noise...

Every part of the game is packed with punchy, satisfying sound effects designed to make the physics feel physical. Hear the impact as Ball slams into a platform, the crackle and energy of powered attachments, the mechanical sounds of the world around you and the unmistakable chaos that happens when physics, weapons and two wildly unpredictable characters collide.

Fast movement. Heavy impacts. Explosive effects. Mechanical mayhem.

The music and sound effects work together to make every jump, collision, attack and ridiculous physics moment feel bigger, louder and more satisfying.

Put on your headphones. Crank up the volume. Then let the mayhem begin.
