About The Game

Balls vs. Tombs is a dark fantasy action-survival game built around a single, haunting purpose: to reclaim stolen souls and restore peace to a desecrated graveyard. Once, the cemetery was a place of rest. A sacred ground where spirits slept quietly beneath stone and soil. That balance was shattered when four colossal abominations emerged from the depths, corrupting the land and absorbing every soul bound to the graves. As the spirits were torn from their resting places, the monsters grew stronger, warping the cemetery into a battlefield of rage, decay, and despair. You are one of the few who can fight back. CORE GAMEPLAY At its heart, Balls vs. Tombs is a fast-paced combat experience where precision, positioning, and elemental mastery matter. You fight by launching powerful orbs—your primary weapons against waves of enraged spirits and corrupted entities. The core loop is simple but deep: Defeat corrupted enemies Recover their trapped souls Return souls to restored graves Expand and cleanse the cemetery Unlock new characters, powers, and combinations Each reclaimed grave brings the world closer to balance—and brings you closer to confronting the true source of the corruption. ELEMENTAL CHARACTERS & ORBS Beyond the basic orb, the game features four unlockable characters, each bound to a unique elemental sphere: Water Orb – fluid control, slowing enemies and shaping the battlefield Air Orb – speed, mobility, and precision strikes Poison Orb – damage over time, area corruption, and attrition Fire Orb – raw power, explosive impact, and aggressive play Each character fundamentally changes how the game feels, encouraging experimentation and mastery. FUSION SYSTEM – THE HEART OF POWER What truly sets Balls vs. Tombs apart is its Orb Fusion System. Every elemental orb can be fused with every other orb. Water + Fire Air + Poison Fire + Air Poison + Water …and every possible combination in between. Each fusion creates a new, more powerful hybrid orb with unique behaviors, visuals, and combat effects. Some fusions focus on crowd control, others on burst damage, chain reactions, or battlefield dominance. This system turns combat into a strategic sandbox, rewarding creativity and experimentation. The more you understand the elements, the more devastating your builds become. THE CEMETERY AS PROGRESSION There is no traditional level select. The graveyard itself is your progression system. As you rescue souls and rebuild graves: New cemetery zones unlock Stronger enemy types begin to appear New characters and orb types become available The world visually transforms from corruption to sanctified ground What feels like an open, evolving environment is actually a carefully structured progression arc—a living level system disguised as world restoration. BOSSES & NARRATIVE The four great monsters are not random enemies. Each represents a twisted force that feeds on unrest and unfinished souls. As they absorb spirits, they grow in size, power, and presence—something reflected both in gameplay and cinematic moments. THE GOAL This is not just about surviving waves. It’s about bringing peace back to the dead. Every soul you recover matters. Every grave you restore reshapes the world. Every fusion you master brings you closer to ending the corruption. Welcome to Balls vs. Tombs. The dead are waiting.
