Overview
BALL MACHINE is a unique real-time strategy game that blends the chaotic fun of pinball with strategic base building and unit management. Players launch creature marbles from two pinball machines, feeding them into a central battlefield. The core gameplay revolves around managing the color energy harvested from the battlefield – red, green, and blue – to purchase a rotating selection of creatures, upgrades, tactical tools, and structures from an unpredictable shop. Every launch is a gamble, and the enemy machine retaliates with its own bursts of units.
