In-game event27 Aug 2026New level and Game With Balls now on Android!Hi everyone! Went full circle as Game With Balls was inspired by those old mobile games for your phone. Now you can play it on Android phones! I made a special level that you now play on your Steam Deck! You can get the Android version (but you shouldn't as you are already playing on your Steam Deck!) only on the Google Play Store . Thank you all for playing my weird little games. Cheers! Geert
Hi everyone! Someone was kind and gave away his place on the waitinglist for me so now I was able to test my little things on the Steam Machine. And yes: Game With Balls works straight out of the box. But, before you begin, there are black borders on both sides of the screen as the whole game was designed with the Steam Deck screen (1280x800) in mind. A lot of the levels will just not scale/str…
New level! I already had the acrylic markers from making the anaglyph glasses for the Red and Blue theme, but after seeing Banksy's Crisis As Usual at the Art of Banksy in Utrecht I thought it would be fun to make a maze with them. You can find the new level in the mixed section! Thank you for playing my little silly games and the 24th of June one will be added: Mini AirHockey ! A little app/ga…
Hi everyone! Mini AirHockey has a release date and a price! It will be available 24th of June 18:00 CEST for just $0.99! It was a nice little project I worked on the past months in my spare time and Thomas made it complete with his track for the menu! Also made a little devlog where I tell a bit more about the next update for Game With Balls! In short I am working on a new theme created with Pi…
Hi everyone! The new theme is now available! Just update Game With Balls and you have the 20 new 3D levels! Probably the question I got the most after release was "Why not 3D?" and well... So here are 20 levels that are completely 3D and if you have anaglyph glasses, those red/blue paper ones, you can even enjoy it in MORE 3D. Red for the left eye! I even made a couple custom ones that you can…
Hi everyone! Just a little announcement that Steam Trading Cards are now available for Game With Balls! Including badges, backgrounds and emoticons! The emoticons spell ːdrawnredbː ːdrawnblueaː ːdrawnbluelː ːdrawnredlː ːdrawngreensː and are available on the Steam Point Shop. Also I can now say that the new theme (RedBlue) is coming to the Steam Deck on the 18th of May !
The upcoming Red/Blue theme was created entirely on my PC, but I still wanted to bring something into the real world. So… I started drawing on anaglyph glasses that you can own and use to play the new theme! Think of those cardboard glasses you used to get for free with that weird dinosaur magazine, but now redesigned with Game With Balls themes. You can find the glasses on my own little storep…
Hi everyone! I can finally announce the next full theme that will be coming to Game With Balls! Red-Blue or Cyan-Red or just 3D. The comment I got the most when releasing was: "Why not 3D?!" So this new upcoming theme is completely 3D! I know most people meant the 3D they experienced in the old iPod Touch game Labyrinth, but wanted to do something different. Still nostalgic. Remember those days…
Hi everyone! I was traveling back home from Prague by train, so I had some spare time. Since I only had my little tablet with me, I tried my hand at Pixel Studio (an app for making pixel art). I drew a new level for the Mixed section, which is available now (level 13)!
Hi everyone! While the updates to Game With Balls are coming along (more info on a new theme soon) a new little project has started: Mini AirHockey! A tiny game that will turn your Steam Deck into a mini airhockey table including a system where you can organise your own local tournament up to 8 players! Not sure when it will be released, but you can already wishlist it to get a notification!
Hi everyone! This is a small patch with some minor fixes. I also wanted to take this opportunity to show how to adjust the resolution settings on the Steam Deck to make sure you’re running the game at the intended 60 FPS. Two other notes for the actual things that changed in the patch: · History Level 1 & 2 collision fix. The ball should now not clip through the wall. Thank you for reporting Ma…
Hi everyone! This is not an April Fools joke! The first new theme is here! 20 levels based on historical mazes and labyrinths. During the making of Game With Balls, I have been looking at different old mazes, and I thought: How cool would it be if you could actually play them. So here they are. All drawn on paper. Thank you for playing Game With Balls, and I hope you are looking forward to the…
Hi everyone! This is just a quick small patch to add DirectX 11 & 12 support for people that want to play it on PC with a controller and have issues with Vulkan. It might also help with a very small set of Steam Deck players that experience performance issues where the framerate is 20fps or lower. The game should normally target 60fps when no TDP limit, FPS limit is set or manual GPU clock is s…
The first time Game With Balls is part of a Seasonal Sale on Steam! 20% off or get even more discount with the bundle that includes my other Steam Deck game: Better With A Friend. A collection of mini games to play together undocked. For Game With Balls the first large update will come on the 2nd of April, together with the Switch release, with 20 new drawn levels based on historical mazes and…
I joined buddies ( Rimboe & Cars ) of mine before when they would go out to paint, but never picked up the cans myself. As Game With Balls is also a little experiment for myself to see what artforms I enjoy the most, I just had to do it for at least one level. That is why the mixed section exists! You can now play my first ever graffiti piece in the game. Thank you all for trying out Game With…
Hi everyone! Probably the question I got the most from friends is: When is Game With Balls coming to the Switch? As they don't own a Steam Deck... Behind the scenes I have been working on a separate version that I can finally announce and will release on the 2nd of April 2026. Also on that date I will release the new theme for the Steam Deck: History. Mazes and labyrinths based on the past wher…
Thank you for all the messages and everyone that played Game With Balls already! Obviously there are things that I didn't thought about when releasing the game and one of the things is how the game saves locally. Patch Notes: · Savegame is now tied to SteamID locally and in Steam Cloud. This makes it that it first looks who is logged into Steam and then loads the save associated with that accou…
Hi everyone! Game With Balls is now available for everyone to play on the Steam Deck! 50 handcrafted levels made out of wood, drawings, handstitched, etc. I want to thank everyone for the support I had and have on this little project of mine! If you find any bugs please report them in Steam Discussions , common questions are answered in the FAQ and let me know what you think of Game With Balls…
Hi everyone! Happy new year and a great 2026 already. One of the goals I had for Game With Balls was to have the main game ready in 2025. And in good old fashion it is the last day of 2025 and I just added the last level to the game! Going to do some more testing on the achievements and then it is ready to be enjoyed by others. But that is not all I wanted to post about. While the release date…
Hi everyone! Game With Balls will release 27th of January 2026 ! At launch it will include 50 handcrafted levels and 10 challenges, but I have some extra content planned throughout the year. More info about this will probably come at release! Ah and the price is set. In US dollars the game will cost $5.99 and in euros it will be €5.89 , but the price will differ depending on the region using St…
Hi everyone! Somebody reported an issue in the demo with their Steam Controller and the Steam Deck a while ago that I didn't really understood, but ran into recently. In short if you connected a gyro controller to the Steam Deck it took the input of the controller AND the Steam Deck. The demo is now patched with a partial fix where if you connect a controller to the Steam Deck it disables the m…
Hi everyone! A small update to the demo to reflect more the final version of Game With Balls! Changes: · Updated levels visually to reflect current build of final game after feedback · Performance increase on some levels as implemented in final game at the moment · Wishlist button :) Thank you all for trying out the demo and let me know in the discussions if you have any feedback/bugs on the de…
Hi everyone! You might not have heard a lot lately about the progress of Game With Balls, but it were a couple of busy months. But! While not making videos I was actually still working on levels. So that is what this little mini develog is about. Still planing a beginning of 2026 release.
Next week is Steam Next Fest and Game With Balls is part of it! Ahead of the festival —and since I’m also boarding a 12-hour flight on Monday— the demo is updated with three new levels! One of the levels is specially made for Next Fest, and I recorded how it was painted, because what’s more fun than watching paint dry? Also, some small performance upgrades. While this is still an ongoing proces…
Hi everyone! A couple of small updates to the demo. Working hard on the actual game at the moment that I can hopefully submit in time for Steam to approve with still an expected release date end of 2025/beginning of 2026. Patchnotes of the demo: · Made the menu ball more accurate to give a better feel · Made the ball in the wooden level more accurate to the Steam Deck movement. Maybe the record…
A new mini devlog about Game With Balls with an update on one of the most requested features: SFX for the ball when it is on wood. I experimented a while with this and still tweaking, recording and adjusting it to make it feel right for every level, but it is here! And you can test it in the Demo where it is now added to the main menu and level 3. Let me know what you think! More updates in the…
Hi everyone! Thank you all for the great support the past weeks while I was on holiday! The most asked questions on different sites are about why I am using Proton and why I, at the moment, am only making this game for the Steam Deck. I talk about it in this new mini devlog where I explain why I made these choices, but in short it is the following reply I wrote earlier: I am a Windows programme…
It is here! The demo of Game With Balls is now available with 5 different levels! Ofcourse it is just a demo and you can expect way more in the full game when I finish it. At least 40 handcrafted levels and 10 challenges, but there are also some extra ideas floating around. This is just the first demo as just before Steam Next Fest I will upload some extra levels for you to try out! The demo ha…
Hi everyone! A quick update on the upcoming demo and some other news surrounding Game With Balls. It takes longer than I anticipated as I am waiting for the demo build to be completely reviewed before posting it. Also probably going to add a couple of small things to the demo that I explain in my second mini devlog. Thank you all and the next update will hopefully be the demo! Until the end of…
