Ball Busters Open Playtest Pushed To July 29th

All news Players around this date Read on Steam

Hey guys! Quick update on the Ball Busters Open Playtest.

The playtest was originally scheduled to launch on July 23rd, but I recently learned that Steam Playtests can take 3–5 days to be approved by Valve.

Because of this, the Open Playtest will now launch on July 29th.

I apologize for the delay. I’m still learning how Steam’s systems work, and I should have researched the approval process more thoroughly before announcing the date. I’ll make sure to plan for this going forward.

The good news is that I’ll be using the extra time to polish the game and finish setting up the Daitomodachi Labs Discord server!

Be sure to follow Daitomodachi Labs here, on Twitter, and on YouTube so you don’t miss any updates.

I hope you’re still excited to play, and I’ll see you all on July 29th!
