The newest indie game sensation of 2025 is the recently released survival roguelite BALL x PIT, one of the year’s most surprising and addictive releases. There’s been a wave of incredible indie games this year, from Hollow Knight: Silksong to Megabonk to Blue Prince, with BALL x PIT launching to over 300,000 units sold in its first week.
At this pace, BALL x PIT looks poised to break a million copies sold, and in anticipation of this, developers released a teaser video on X of a unique “SpamBalls” cheat that they plan to release after reaching the impressive milestone.
The SpamBalls cheat code announcement has players asking all sorts of questions, with some fans not even realizing cheats were an option at all. BALL x PIT is one of several recent successful indie launches in 2025 that have unexpectedly garnered massive player-bases in record time.
BALL x PIT Cheat Teased Ahead Of Huge Milestone
BALL x PIT Has Already Sold Over 300K Copies
BALL x PIT is a contender for this year’s most addictive indie survival game yet, with recent unexpected hit Megabonk being a close runner-up. According to developer
Kenny Sun (via X), the game already surpassed 300,000 copies sold in its first five days of launch, a truly impressive feat for a small indie project.
This morning, in anticipation of hitting another huge milestone based on the trajectory of the game’s current success, BALL x PIT released a teaser of a unique cheat code called “SpamBalls” hidden inside the in-game menu. The cheat does exactly what it sounds like it does, spamming seemingly infinite balls and nearly breaking the game in the brief clip that was posted.
One player named Stef (via X) is among those who didn’t seem to realize there even were cheats in the game at all, while various other users are cheering on the BALL x PIT’s meteoric rise. Leozera says they “might buy a couple hundred” to help speed things along, while Aesc’s Whisky Gaming says of the SpamBalls cheat: “I need it!!!”
