Ballastic

Ballastic is a casual game about swinging a ball on an elastic rope to demolish destructible objects. You drag the handle around the screen to control the ball, trying to build momentum and stretch the rope as far as possible without snapping it. Your run ends when the rope breaks or time runs out.

Swing and score

As the game progresses, the ball gets heavier and harder to control. Collectibles can spawn additional weighted balls, which increase score multipliers but make it more difficult to keep the rope from snapping. Power-ups and hazards also appear during each game, and collecting multiple items quickly while the rope is stretched can build combos.

Your score depends heavily on the rope's length at impact and the speed at which you reach each destructible. The game includes at least half a dozen types of collectibles, along with a local and online high-score system.

Physics and presentation

The game uses physics and particle effects, with graphics designed for HD widescreen displays. It also features visual effects and blends described as hypnotic and relaxing.
