'''''Ballex''''' is one of the new [[rolling-ball games]] derived from the 3D video game [[Ballance]]. It supports high-quality video images, fancier graphics, and more modules with less bugs and glitches; its gameplay is commonly thought to be better than Ballance.

Ballex is made by MushREB from [[Chinese Ballance Forum]], with [[Wikipedia:Unity (game engine)|Unity]] as its game engine.

Though some elements in Ballex are similar to those in Ballance, their size, physical parameters and there usages are {{Orange|not totally the same}}; '''most of the gameplay is also different from Ballance, thus {{Orange|confusion must be avoided}}.'''

== Content ==

=== Basics operations &amp; elements ===

{{Note | Not to be confused with the wood/paper/stone [[balls]] or other elements in Ballance. They are '''entirely different''' in Ballex.}}
* '''Basic operations''': hold down <code>↑</code>, <code>↓</code>, <code>←</code>, <code>→</code> to control the movements of the ball; <code>Space</code> to expand the view field; <code>A</code>, <code>D</code> to rotate the viewport.
* '''7 types of balls''': wood, paper, stone, ice, rubber, steel and glowing balls for use; each type of ball has its special features and feelings of manoeuvring.
* '''Modules &amp; floors''': some existing types of elements from Ballance replaced with ''new textures and models'' are added to Ballex, along with numerous new elements such as red boards (trampolines), falling boards, pressure plates, fire sprayers, TNTs, one-way gates, password gates, magnets, waterpools, which have improved the gameplay greatly.

=== Game modes &amp; future outlooks ===

* '''Record mode''': 4 timers corresponding to HS (high scores) and SR (speedruns), BO (bouncing balls) and 45-degree are included. Scores can be uploaded to the online ranking list on Steam, but not all levels support BO mode.
* '''The shadow challenge''': by enabling this option before starting a level, the path of the ball will be recorded, and a shadow ball will appear to confirm the performance of the player. Try to go ahead of it!
* '''The creative workshop''': level editor is included in the game, which enables the player to make own custom levels and upload them to steam for everyone to play.

== Present situation ==

The official version of ''Ballex'' on Windows and MacOS has been finished and released on Steam, with the latest version of 1.15 and map maker 3.1, pricing $ 2.13. For Android and iOS system, only the beta version is released (Android: TapTap; iOS: App Store).

== History &amp; user feedbacks ==

Version 0.4<ref>[https://tieba.baidu.com/p/6020203299 【填坑】Ballex Beta Ver. 0.4发布，更新关卡编辑器与大量机关] {{Resize|(in Chinese)}}</ref> and 0.5<ref>[https://tieba.baidu.com/p/6114758315 【大版本填坑】Ballex Beta V0.5更新] {{Resize|(in Chinese)}}</ref> of Ballex were released in [[Chinese Ballance Forum]] initially.

Since the release, ''Ballex'' has been welcomed by a large amount of players and gained a group of trustable users.

== Community ==

Though ''Ballex'' was released worldwide, only a Discord server ('''[https://discord.gg/EJ3XJRA join]''') is available all over the world.

== System requirements ==

Because of the high-quality video, the system requirements for Ballex to run smoothly is '''far higher''' than Ballance.

Below are from Ballex on Steam store as a reference:

However, most computers with normal system configurations can run Ballex at least with the lowest graphics smoothly.
