Today, Human Computer, an independent game studio backed by Makers Fund, has revealed its debut title, Ballgame, set to launch later in 2026.
Ballgame is a golf-inspired, physics platformer where players become the ball, smashing, bouncing, and grinding their way through high-stakes tournaments, physics-bending parlor games, and pinball-inspired courses that are anything but par for the course.
You can see the official teaser for the title right down below:
While the objective of getting from tee to hole in as few shots as possible sounds simple enough, you’ll need to maneuver obstacles inspired by games like pinball, pachinko, skeeball, and beyond. Each course is handcrafted to turn every swing into precision platforming puzzles that are equal parts chaotic, merciless, and wildly satisfying.
Ballgame is designed to be as ruthless as it is rewarding, with players riding curves, bending the bounce, and shaping the roll to dominate tournaments. By winning tournaments, players will build up their “Ballmanac” and test their mastery in the Parlor, filled with arcade-style minigames where precision meets probability and skill meets spectacle.
Each trip to the Parlor earns Figment, the game’s in-world currency, so players can ball out on customizations, upgrades, and unlock 99 unique ball personalities along the way.
“When we started Human Computer, we were committed to making deeply satisfying games while applying our strengths in art direction, audio design, and narrative,” said Eliot Garcia Weisberg, co-founder of Human Computer. “With Ballgame, we let our creativity run wild, blending our love of arcade chaos with skill-based mechanics to create something that’s simple to pick up, tough to master, and bonkers in the best way. It’s just the beginning of a much larger creative vision for the studio, and we’re excited to see where this first shot leads us next.”
Ballgame is now available to Wishlist on Steam, and is set to launch on the platform later in 2026. For more information, be sure to check back to Simulation Daily for updates.
