Ballance: The Return

Sadly while being a successor to the game I knew and loved (Ballance) this game I cannot _feel_ the controls in. No keyboard support, no control over camera and clunky joystick thingy cuts off most of the game's fun. The game might feel at home being played on mobile, but for sure not on PC. P.S. English localization is god-awful, almost on the level of "all your base are belong to us".

I'll put it simply. If you played the first one, this one isn't nearly as good.

I have never seen worse controls in a game. I loved the original game and this is completely terrible.

It's a shame, that they're calling it the return of the great game that Ballance was. It's a port from... mobile. Instructions are shown as if you were playing on your mobile phone. The whole game seems like it was rushed, unfinished. Few examples: sounds for starting count off are not in line with what's happening on the screen, rolling ball sound seems to be the same one looped sound, no music, graphics are bad, Main Menu looks horrible, it's not possible to change the settings, first few levels are extremely boring and the "story" - just no. Not even worth £2, sadly.

This game is a disaster! Nothing like smooth experience of the original game. WHY do you need those stupid conversations?! And how do I exit the game? Please add exit and add an option to completely avoid all conversations.

I've known the original Ballance game and really liked solving the physics-based puzzles. Although not very challenging if you're looking for upping your puzzle-solving skills, these type of games are great time-killers and keep you sharp. Some say the keyboard controls don't work on this sequel, but the dev's probably silently responded to that and it's ancient history now. They work just like in the old game, and you can really feel the weight of the heavy ball and the dexterity of the light version! Works like a charm. The camera controls are not there anymore, but I don't really miss them. It's handled automatically and swiftly, although it can catch you off-guard. I've decided it's part of the experience and so far it didn't led to any fatal mistakes anyway. In fact, I think it's an improvement since you don't HAVE to meddle with the camera controls anymore. Wise decision! But I do miss the old atmosphere, the feeling of being somewhere up high and alone. You're no longer alone...

It does support keyboard control.

Well ... I can say that i'm glad they brought this game back and wanna thank the developers because making a game requires love and passion; first of all it's good to see visual improvements but some low res textures in the game are a let down i really expected more from them, game mechanics are fine compared to the original game it actually gives you the same experience, interestingly they added a story to the game and you can read it as you progress. do i recommend this game? yes and no, it could be much better to be honest, i expected a lot better from them, it's funny i don't know why the hover boards in the game sound like a car engine when they start moving XD. overall the game was a bit let down but i believe it can be better if developers really care to improve it visually and technically... i would still say you can enjoy it but don't have a high expectation. and if they don't plan to improve they game i just wish they add a slider to the resolution tab in settings it took m...
