  • The Monster Tamer That Grew Up Too

    300+ BallBuds, brutal FPS combat, and choices that bite - this ain't Saturday morning cartoons.
    BallBuds is the monster-tamer RPG for grown-ups - where your choices actually matter. Capture, train, and weaponize over 300 creatures in a massive open world, then throw down in squad-based FPS combat that's equal parts chaos and strategy. Pick your faction, conquer enemy bases, and unleash Behemoth-class BallBuds while blasting your custom Slay-Mode soundtrack - metal, EDM, or hip-hop. With survival horror nights, PvP battles, and a darkly satirical story, BallBuds blends monster collecting with mature humor, brutal combat, and endless replayability. Back BallBuds today and join the fight where every capture, choice, and kill matters.

    About

    Jon's love of collecting monsters started young, with Pokemon Blue - and spiraled completely out of control. What began as a harmless hobby mutated into a full-blown lifestyle. He didn't just collect creatures. He collected three wives, four kids, and four stepkids along the way. Even his ex-wife got into the spirit - though her collection mostly involves child support payments. Naturally, BallBuds was inevitable. If you spend enough years obsessing over monster taming, dragging your kids into it, and turning your personal life into a trading card binder of emotional damage, you eventually build a game about it.
