Ballhalla Review

Ballhalla is absorbing. A unique twist on action-puzzlers, this ball-based game is all about "sucking up" surrounding energy balls to create heavier, more powerful spheres, while keeping their container balanced. The heavier the balls become, the more the "bucket" wants to tip to one side or the other. Append a time element and it adds up to one engrossing, frantically-paced, ball-loony experience.

First Look - Ballhalla

Sandlot Games will be launching its new action-puzzle game Ballhalla on Oct. 29 and we have some screenshots to show you. The adventure begins when Professor Quark's Insta-Matter Transporter machine accidentally sucks his robotic pal Proto and his kitty Widget into an alternative universe. Players help Professor Quark by harnessing balls of energy to power his machine for the return trip. In a twist on typical match-three gameplay, matching balls of the same color will produce a single heavier ball that will actually affect the balance of the container, and can tip it over if players are not careful.
