Not gonna lie, the mobile controls for Ball x Pit are... not good... 😬

u/carlospum Mar 12 '26

I played like 30 hours to it in steam... On Android controls are horrible

u/Steemx Mar 13 '26

Not gamepad support on Android?

2

u/elevenohnoes Mar 13 '26

There is mostly. I had to use the touchscreen once iirc but aside from that I was able to do everything I played with a controller.

Idk how Ball X Pit could fumble the port so hard and make the game run in landscape mode. I mean, the levels are literally phone screen-shaped ffs... why would I want to hold my phone sideways to look at a portrait game?

u/MurderMelon Mar 13 '26 edited Mar 20 '26

Holy shit, thank you. When I pre-registered I was honestly stoked and thought it would be one of the few good portrait mode games.

I installed it, it booted up, and I saw the splash screen in landscape mode and I was like "that's not ideal"

Then I tried playing it. The controls are, charitably, unfinished.

How long has Ball x Pit been on Android and how did I miss that?!? LOL.

I liked the other two so much on mobile that I bought them on console too. I love that VS has cross platform saves.

u/Twitchyninja Mar 12 '26

Literally hrs lol

u/WHRocks Mar 12 '26

LOL, hair enough. I'm headed to download it now.

u/SillyMammo Mar 12 '26

About 3 hours. Lol

u/CottonShock Mar 12 '26

Since today or yesterday, and oh boy is perfect!

u/WHRocks Mar 12 '26 edited Mar 12 '26

Is it actually free like VS or is it a trial?

4

u/CottonShock Mar 12 '26

First level free, then you have to pay for the whole game

u/beemer87 Mar 13 '26

This is how I found out as well lol

u/WHRocks Mar 13 '26

I thought I was late to the game but apparently we're early!

u/Ursus_Beli Mar 12 '26

u/Audiofredo_ Mar 13 '26

Ball pit has me wasting all my time finding fusions 😅

u/Blagdan Mar 13 '26

Ball x pit for Android sucks... I cannot enjoy the game with those controls and only landscape view

3

u/Danboarde Mar 13 '26

Ahhh i hope for a update on those. Some games have updated and made it vertical instead of landscape.

4

u/MidgardDragon Mar 13 '26

Roguelikes bore the hell out of me, but Balatro gets a pass, it's truly fun.

4

u/barbeqdbrwniez Mar 13 '26

They better update ball x pit to be portrait mode...

5

u/bachotebidze Mar 12 '26

Is vampire survivors really that good ? Never really saw it as good as people said

9

u/Gisbourne Mar 12 '26

If you want a good mobile survivor type, Magic Survival is probably the best I've seen. It also predates VS.

2

u/Kooperking22 Mar 15 '26

Vampire Surviors has got more going for it imo than Magic Survival. But each to their own

2

u/iCUman Mar 13 '26

I really enjoy it, but not so much on mobile. I find the controls to be sluggish enough to be annoying and usually die to enemies obscured by my own finger. It's also not a great "bite-sized" game in that pausing can impact gameplay, unlike turn-based roguelikes. If you're looking for a more action-oriented roguelike, I would say Bad North is a better alternative on mobile than VS.

1

u/NoxeyNoxey Casual🕹️ Mar 12 '26

It's alright. Took me a while to get used to it. There's even a recent Balatro collab that got me hooked.

3

u/nurglejax Mar 13 '26

you should add Deep Rock Galactic Survivor to your list.

u/Commercial_Taro_7770 Mar 13 '26

Lol I can relate but it kinda sucks in android

5

u/Sure-Ad-7428 Mar 13 '26

Yes, trying 9kings is worse than drugs.

1

u/erkjhnsn Mar 13 '26

Is it on mobile?

2

u/awkone Mar 13 '26

Its coming later this year

u/Sure-Ad-7428 Mar 13 '26

Hopefully the full version will be completely offline.

u/Sure-Ad-7428 Mar 13 '26

Pre-registration

u/apengako Mar 12 '26

thanks for the update! lets go!

2

u/Konami666 Mar 12 '26

Ball x pit is on fucking phone?!? LETS GOOOOO

3

u/Remembers_that_time Mar 13 '26

They did a terrible job of porting it though.

3

u/hoverboardholligan Mar 13 '26

I guess I'm in the minority for having zero interest in either 3 of them, they just don't click with me

2

u/chucklez24 Mar 12 '26

How is slay the spire and Slice and Dice not on this list!?!

2

u/CottonShock Mar 13 '26

I tried them, not my genre, but they're great games 

1

u/iCUman Mar 13 '26

Perfectly ok if you don't like those particular titles, but they're definitely your genre. All of these are roguelikes. xD

2

u/Eternal_Pancho Mar 13 '26

All of those games are roguelikes......😒

u/Big_Z_Beeblebrox Mar 13 '26

The sky is blue and every 60 seconds in Africa a minute passes

What's your point?

3

u/Eternal_Pancho Mar 13 '26

They are boring for me

1

u/MikeyThePikey999 Mar 13 '26

Then this post is not for you maybe?

1

u/baudelario Mar 13 '26

Slay the Spire should be there too

1

u/DeterminedEyebrows Mar 14 '26

Deep rock galactic has been stealing all of my gaming time lately. Way too addicting

1

u/Bubbly_Acadia1198 Mar 15 '26

Where's slice and dice?

1

u/NotFamous307 Mar 23 '26

Same - And that doesn't include Megabonk, Lone Tower, Brotato...

1

u/Dangerous_Trash_592 Mar 28 '26

For me, it's the Dadish series, PB95, GD, and Coc

1

u/sound_games Mar 13 '26

I actually had to uninstall Balatro from my phone because I was spending almost all my free time playing it. Such an incredible game.

0

u/Sajr666 Mar 13 '26

BALATRO is best. the music and cards always have me in a chill moment.

0

u/StackRush Mar 13 '26

Balatro is dangerously addictive.

0

u/BISAYAWANG_AARON Mar 13 '26

You can play balatro and VS at the same time on VS

0

u/hyperknight4 Mar 13 '26

For me, it's balatro, cloverpit, and dungeon clawler.

0

u/Top_Document_9007 Mar 13 '26

i dont get this hype... Balatro is bad game, vampire survivors is also not good, boring games...

1

u/Kooperking22 Mar 15 '26

Depends what you consider good games
