Our take on THE CANON OF BALLS
Its defining structure is an open world without guidance tools, where individually built platforming courses provide the objectives and players decide whether to race or travel together.
What is THE CANON OF BALLS?
THE CANON OF BALLS is a first-person platformer set in a large open world, playable alone offline or with other players.
Movement centers on navigating parkour courses, with each course built around a distinct twist. The game provides no minimap, quest markers, or tutorials, leaving routes and challenges for players to discover. Multiplayer has no required objectives or mechanics, allowing groups to race toward crystals, move together, or wait for one another. The world uses handcrafted, non-modular level construction rather than repeated templates. Sound design emphasizes the weight of the balls and the responsiveness of movement. The game combines platforming exploration with a high difficulty ceiling.
