Human Computer has announced Ballgame, a physics-based platformer featuring “high-stakes tournaments, physics-bending parlor games, and pinball-inspired courses.” It will launch for PC via Steam in 2026.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Smash, bounce, and grind your way through Ballgame, a ballsy physics platformer where you ARE the ball. Compete in high-stakes tournaments, physics-bending parlor games, and pinball-inspired courses that are anything but golf!
Key Features
- It’s a Whole New Ballgame – Golf like never before: Ballgame is the new ball game that’s bonkers, chaotic, merciless, and rewarding. You don’t hit the ball—you are the ball. Play as Dolf, a newly sentient golf ball smashing, bouncing, and grinding your way through high-stakes tournaments and physics-bending parlor games.
- Precision Physics Platformer – At its core, Ballgame is simple: get from the tee to the hole in as few shots as possible. Simplicity becomes complex in handcrafted courses with platforming challenges, balancing precise shots, and controlled mayhem. Improve every swing and navigate obstacles and objects: spike off bumpers, grind on rails, float in a bubble, die on spikes, and control the chaos. Every shot is a kinetic reaction.
- Master the Roll – Ballgame is rewarding and ruthless. Master every shot, ride curves, bend the bounce, shape the roll, and dominate every tournament. Each stroke is a chance to improve and score higher on the leaderboard. We’ve smashed together the skills of every ball game: golf, pinball, pachinko, skee-ball… You name it. Precision is everything; but, happy accidents make every course fun to master.
- Build Your Ballmanac – Stay on the ball, win tournaments, then test your mastery in the Parlor. It’s filled with chaotic arcade-style minigames where precision meets probability. Each trip to the Parlor earns you Figment, Ballgame‘s currency. Ball so hard with customizations, upgrades, and over 99 balls to unlock and discover along the way.
- Momentum is Everything – Our team at Human Computer plans to launch Ballgame later in 2026. We have a ton of features and ideas for launch and beyond. However, we want to build Ballgame with you. Look for a Steam demo in the coming months and in the meantime, share ideas and thoughts with us on socials or in the Steam community hub. We read everything!
