Any chance of a demo, Hourences?
The Ball - Indie FPS Action/Puzzle Game

Congratulations on finishing, it looks fantastic. I'll definitely pick up the demo
-
Doesn't help that the game released on the heels of the Halloween sale...seems to happen a lot with newer small game releases I've noticed and they get fucked. Doesn't Valve warn you of things like that?
-
how about demo in 14 days and then massive rabat (start at 24% decreasing hourly by one percent for example on demo release). you will be in before christmas market but in for a good break from halloween dump. do it

Purchased, Tweeted, and Facebooked. Throwing in a guerilla marketing post on a gamer forum too.
Currently downloading through Steam. Reading the EULA hints at mod support? Any truth to that?

Deceiver that is what I am actually unhappy about. We wanted to release the 12th of October, or a few days before or after, and Valve advised us to move the release to October 26 "because it would be so much better".No official mod support. EULA only mentions it in case someone does manage to modify the game.
Wow, that's kind of a dick move on their part tbh. That or their logic is flawed in thinking it would sell more since more people are checking the store because of the sales...but they're most likely almost only checking what's on sale.

Bummer. It lends itself so well to experimental puzzle game play.
I've really been enjoying the hell out of it. Great visuals, killer atmosphere, fun game play, interesting puzzles, and unique combat. First time I've lost track of time playing a game in a very long time.

Well I finished The Ball yesterday and I am quite impressed. The cutscenes were I thought a little bland but the gameplay was superb. Congrats on the release!

Once again congrats
Hope your sales pick up soon! -
Do I really suck at finding secrets or something? There really seem to be a lot of empty dead ends in the game.
