Dark forces are on the rise in this fantasy world, and civilisation’s only hope is a lone mage. Mixing turn-based gameplay with exciting pinball-like action, PunBall tasks you with flinging projectiles to blast hordes of monsters out of existence.

What we love: A huge range of different skills are at your disposal, allowing you to unleash carnage in seemingly infinite combinations of missiles, laser beams and more. That’s good news, as every turn sees new creatures entering the fray, whether they’re pawn-like infantry, long-range Pea Shooters or powerful, unpredictable Bosses.

Quick tip: Rather than targeting shots at particular monsters, try aiming your blasts to bounce off walls. Get your angles right and you can build up massive combos that take out multiple enemies in one immensely satisfying shot.

Meet the creator: PunBall is a spin-off of Archero, a previous release from Singapore–based publisher Habby. The company name is a combination of happy and hobby.
