Finished BallxPit; here's my thoughts from my video game diary/log;
It took me longer than I expected to get sucked into BallxPit. This is more of a Vampire Survivors or a Balatro, very much a "oh wow, it feels great to see numbers go up and things get melted by the end of a run" sort of game.(1/2)

BallxPit is a good time! It took a minute for it to sink it's hooks into me, but I may end up hitting credits after all. Having a good time with it, just unsure if I want to instead poke at a bunch of other games in my 2025 backlog.

EA Sports games didn't slap a bunch of recent hits on the soundtrack and call it a day. They were often carefully curated to reflect the culture of their sport--and were a great music discovery tool, @colettearrand.bsky.social writes. www.endlessmode.com/article/ea-s...
EA Sports Mastered the Video Game Soundtrack During the PlayStation Era
EA Sports soundtracks were often as groundbreaking as the game themselves back in their PlayStation and PS2-era heyday.
