We are adding one new board and 20 new triggers for you to play your little hearts out with!
addedBansThere has been an outspoken need to improve control over the board, especially at higher levels when your draft pool is…well… MASSIVE. Well GUESS WHAT? You can now ban unlocked triggers and boons from your profile tab! Use bans to hone your perfect collection of triggers and boons to make number go more up than ever. You asked, we answered.

Before we get to the full list of updates that dropped today, we also wanted to announce our first Content Update, titled the Spring Content Update (yes yes, we know, we're very creative), coming April 9th! We are adding one new board and 20 new triggers for you to play your little hearts out with!

But for now, here's what has been rolled out!

Bans

  • There has been an outspoken need to improve control over the board, especially at higher levels when your draft pool is…well… MASSIVE. Well GUESS WHAT? You can now ban unlocked triggers and boons from your profile tab! Use bans to hone your perfect collection of triggers and boons to make number go more up than ever. You asked, we answered.

Steam Workshop

  • Steam Workshop is official launched and ready for you to jump in and get your hands mucky!

  • A few “unofficial” mods have gone up from the developer to inspire you on your road to Ballionaire mod-master! Go beyond Tribute 9 in "No Frills Endless Mode" and “Lab Disasters” (Which are some nightmare-inducing Trigger mash-ups) are now available in the Steam Workshop to try! Don’t like how they’re done? Well, try to make your own and show us up, smartypants!

QoL:

  1. We’ve finessed spawners to improve performance when HOARDS OF BALLS descend

  2. To the folks that wanted more control over the starting screen, we’ve added UI Effects option in Display Settings. This controls the amount of animation and flashing on the title screen and game over screen! Screen shake? IN THIS ECONOMY?

  3. For those of you who are just too good at Ballionaire and have created infinitely lasting drops, you can now end the current drop from the pause menu to avoid becoming a victim of your own success.

  4. STREAMERS – A new setting has been added to control whether the Falling Money animation plays when the tribute is met to help with BITRATE!

Full Patch Note List for Update 1.1.0

Bans: - Added a "Bans" tab to Profiles that allows you to ban individual unlocked triggers and boons, if you don't want to play with them. - Added a button on the Unlocks screen to take you directly to the Bans page, for added visibility.

Performance: - Smoothed out performance for massive ball spawns.

Settings: - Rework Settings menu to create separate sections for Sound, Display, Language, Input, and Streaming. - Added UI Effects option in Display Settings. This controls the amount of animation and flashing on the title screen and game over screen. - Added Seeker Intro option in Display Settings. This controls whether the Seeker Appearing animation plays when you start a run. - Added Falling Money option in Display Settings. This controls whether the Falling Money animation plays when the tribute is met. (This was added for streamers because the Falling Money typically destroys a stream's bitrate). - Added Screen Shake slider in Display Settings. This controls the amount of screen shake. - Added an Input setting to fully disable all controllers (Windows only). This should help w/ folks who have unconventional inputs like a steering wheel that are interfering with mouse control in the game.

NPE/Onboarding: - Increase the number of drops in Initiate mode from 5 to 7. Initiate mode should be a bit easier now.

Balance: - Paper Shredder, Time Capsule, and Computer all trigger
