About the Game

NOTE: This game only runs on ray-tracing supported hardware!

Balling in a Dystopian Future

We are in a dystopian cyberpunk society, where the government took the idea of basic human rights to the extreme, putting everyone from birth into huge protective bubbles. This way the security of life is 100% guaranteed, as human life is "the most valuable thing".
However, the young generation is not buying this shit, how can a life with no threat be exciting? The outgoing trend emerges: punks and youth start a deadly race in which each contestant can finally feel alive rather than just living.

Fast-paced Gameplay

Move the ball to the finish by tilting the level and going through obstacles that challenge your precision and timing skills. Find the fastest way to complete exciting levels and be the best on the leaderboards.

Level Editor

(Not in Early Access)
An easy-to-use level editing tool with extensive options to express your creativity and challenge the community. Create a level, upload it, and watch gamers compete for first place on the leaderboards. Use a wide variety of level elements in any combination to create your works of art.

Stunning Visuals

Experience next-level graphics using cutting-edge ray tracing technology providing the most realistic global illumination. The use of custom tech brings the game world to life and enhances the immersive experience.

Custom Tech

This game is created by a group of students on a custom engine made over the course of a year using the latest research into real-time path tracing technology. In addition, the engine features fully custom physics specifically tweaked to enhance the balling experience.
