Bang-On Balls: Chronicles
Welcome to Oktoberfest!
Oktoberfest began as a wedding celebration over 200 years ago when Bavaria’s Crown Prince Ludwig married the Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen on October 12, 1810. The wedding was celebrated with multiple days of drinking, feasting and horse races.
The celebration then became an annual event, and fast forward to today, here we are!
We've added some fun new items to bring some cheer. Head to the gumball machine and use the following codes:
Themed Hat: 1483
Themed Item (Beer): 8735
LederHosen Pants: 8756
Themed Hair: 8462
So head on in, put your hat on, grab a pint, and indulge in the merrymaking!

It's Lucha Libre Day!
We have a small update for everyone. Lucha Libre has played an important role in Mexican culture since the late 1950s. Roughly translated to "freestyle wrestling", it became internationally recognized in no small part thanks to the well-known image of masked wrestlers and transformed into a beloved pastime.
We're happy to announce the Luchador Mask, now available at your nearest gumball machine!
Just use code 4456 to receive yours now.
Don it and look like a proper luchador when you give your enemies the beat downs they deserve! See you in the ring!

Welcoming Three New Titles to Untold Tales!
Our collection of story-loving games continues to grow. We are excited to share that we've added three additional titles to the Untold Tales portfolio with Mythic Ocean, Lifeslide, and Dr Livingstone, I Presume?!
https://youtu.be/dYh9dC0CAJ4
If you could decide the evolutionary fate of the entire ocean, what choices would you make? Mythic Ocean is a narrative exploration about meeting the gods who rule beneath the waves and guiding (or misguiding) them in their choices. An engaging choice driven game with multiple outcomes, an open-world feel and relaxed pace. Every interaction you make with a character changes the course of the world and story and the , so choose wisely. Or entertainingly. In fact, try both, since this story has tons of replayability.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/814360
In Dr Livingstone, I Presume? A Reversed Escape Room, the world-renowned 19th Century explorer Dr David Livingston has sent you - his most trusted friend - a cryptic message. Something is wrong but the details are scare. It’s now up to you to venture to his mysterious and eccentric mansion to uncover the truth of what has happened. Solve a mix of intricate and diverse puzzles as you venture deeper and deeper into the rooms of the mansion. Along the way, uncover historical facts and story built around real events and people but with a few creative twists.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1237510
Lifeslide is a relaxing but also challenging adventure about guiding your paper airplane through a wonderous world of sights and obstacles. Simple controls but intricate physics mean you’ll need to master the art of gathering and preserve your momentum, using the terrain to your advantage and reacting in time. All around you in the world is the story of life, and the journey we all take through it. Additional competitive and zen modes mean there is a way for everyone.
