Roguelite brick-breaker Ball x Pit has become my new "game I play when I'm watching people roleplay" because it's not demanding enough to distract me from all the dicerolling and regional accents, but it does give my hands something to do. Look, it's this or cigarettes and Ball x Pit is the less-crippling of the two addictions.
And now Ball x Pit is slightly better because the November patch fixes a bunch of bugs, and as the top patch note explains, the encyclopedia has been updated with full-color icons. This may seem like a small thing, but the original version not only looked bland, but made it tough to tell at a glance whether you were looking at, say, a poison ball or an ice ball. Now that one is green and the other blue like God intended that's no longer an issue. (It was enough of an annoyance there was even a now-redundant Encyclopedia Colored mod.)
