Become BOB, a reckless bouncy hero embarking on a quest of epic adventures and chaos.
Bounce with single player, 4 player online co-op, and 2 player splitscreen support as you boing between (slightly inaccurate) historically themed open worlds each with their own unique mechanics, items, and enemies.

11 September 2023, Warsaw, Poland Exit Plan Games and Untold Tales have announced that Bang-On Balls: Chronicles will be launching on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch on October 5th, 2023.
Bang-on Balls: Chronicles is an absolutely content-loaded, goofy, destructible open-world, sandbox adventure with combat, platforming, character customization, and collect-a-thon scavenger hunting experience that you can play solo or in co-op.
While in Early Access the game amassed a 97% Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam from 2300+ reviews.
Created by Exit Plan Games, a team of highly experienced developers who previously worked on AAA titles such as The Witcher 3, Gears of War, Cyberpunk 2077, and Bulletstorm to name a few.
Throughout our careers, we’ve been making games that demanded a very high level of production on a lot of fronts. Tight controls, varied gameplay, smart level design, loads of content, intricate AI systems, the list goes on. All so that these massive maps felt alive and fun to play in for hours and hours. Despite now being an indie dev, we applied the exact same approach and standards here. The game is fundamentally built around the idea of giving players something that is absolutely stuffed with varied things to do but is always fun to play. It’s something that can easily be fired up for a few relaxing minutes and feel like you made progress, or be a game you play for 40+ hours or more.” Damien Monnier, Studio Co-Founder, Exit Plan Games
The launch in October will see the game get yet another open-world map, that has players time-traveling through feudal and modern Japan to fight a giant Kaiju. All owners of the game on PC will get this content for free.
