Roguelike Ball x Pit Sells 300,000 Copies on Steam and Consoles in Five Days, Proving Gamers Still Crave Atari’s 1976 Breakout

Ball x Pit

“Thank you all!!!!” developer Kenny Sun posted after the launch — an enthusiastic, well-earned reaction from a creator who’s been grinding for years and finally hit a major success.

“I’ve been too overwhelmed for a formal announcement post but BALL x PIT came out yesterday and I’m stunned by the response!” Sun also wrote on Bluesky, thanking everyone who contributed to the release.

Across platforms — and especially on Steam — Ball x Pit is racking up praise: more than 3,000 user reviews and a roughly 95% positive rating on Valve’s store. It’s a straightforward, instantly accessible game about balls that’s surprisingly hard to put down — exactly what many players were craving. Add it to the growing list alongside titles like Godbreakers, Megabonk, and Slots & Daggers; the list keeps getting longer and my backlog keeps getting deeper.

Our Ball x Pit review commends the combat’s effortless flow, even if the loop can become repetitive over time.
