Command tiny armies, capture sectors, call in long-range Mother Ball artillery, and pop the enemy Mother Ball before yours meets the same unfortunate fate. Matches are designed to last only a few minutes, making BallsCommander a small tactical battle for a quick break, a rematch with a friend, or several rematches after somebody insists the first result did not count. Quick tactical battles Play solo in skirmish mode against the computer or challenge a Steam friend online. Play on 3 different map sizes and with different game settings. Play cross-platform between Windows and macOS. Capture sectors to expand your territory and gain reinforcements. Position your forces, choose their facing, and attack from useful angles. Use your Mother Ball's long-range artillery carefully. Friendly fire is very real. Destroy the enemy Mother Ball to win the match. Compete for Steam achievements and leaderboard times.

Have fun, and please take good care of your Mother Ball. She is large, important, and not particularly good at dodging.

BallsCommander Launches on Steam for Windows and macOS
BallsCommander, a compact real-time tactics game from developer Tobsel, is now available on Steam for Windows and macOS.
The premise is tidy: command small armies across a sector-based map, capture territory to earn reinforcements, and destroy the enemy's Mother Ball before your own is eliminated. The Mother Ball also serves as a long-range artillery platform — though the source is careful to note that friendly fire is very much in play.
Matches are designed to run only a few minutes, positioning the game as something between a quick diversion and a competitive back-and-forth with a friend.
What's included at launch
Solo skirmish mode against the computer
Online play against Steam friends
Cross-platform multiplayer between Windows and macOS
Three map sizes and variable game settings
Sector capture with directional unit facing and angle-based attacks
Mother Ball long-range artillery with friendly fire enabled
Steam achievements and leaderboard times
Tobsel has pinned community threads for general project information and for questions, bugs, and feedback — with bug reports apparently welcomed in structured form.
For players who want a tactical game that respects a short lunch break, BallsCommander appears built precisely for that window — at the cost of one large, slow, artillery-capable mascot who cannot dodge.
