Hey, guys! I have an important Ball Busters announcement:

The Ball Busters Open Playtest launches July 23rd!

The playtest will help us see where the game stands and what needs improvement before the October Next Fest demo.

I’m also creating a dedicated Daitomodachi Labs Discord server to help manage the playtest, gather feedback, and share updates on Ball Busters and other Labs projects.

Be sure to follow Daitomodachi Labs here, on Twitter, and YouTube so you don’t miss anything!

I’m super excited to finally get a version of the game into your hands. I hope you enjoy it!
