About the Game

In "Ball Torment," you steer NekoChan, the waifu you never wanted but now need, through a relentless barrage of balls on ramps.
If this simple task overwhelms you, you're not cut out to be called a gamer - you're just an onlooker.
If you can't dominate this game, you might as well log off your Steam account for good because real gamers don't just play Ball Torment, they master it.

What to expect?

Expect an extremely challenging game where you must dodge balls as you run up the ramps to open the doors to pass to the next stage.

As a physics based game your momentum can be a blessing and a curse.

Each stage adds new balls to the mix and increases the difficulty of completion.

Gameplay.

The gameplay is running... I don't know Steam has made me rewrite this section 3 times now, saying this isn't specific enough.
WASD controls.
You can crouch.
You can look around with the mouse.

Balls can knock you back, inhibit your movement and twist gravity to throw you around the stage.
If you fall off you respawn at the checkpoint.
There is no Save feature so you close the game and reopen it you will start from the beginning.


Future plans.

We plan on adding hard mode and challenge runs in the future but this will happen as a free addon and any subsequent updates will be added to the base game and require no additional purchase.
