<h2 class="bb_tag" >ROLL. SHOOT. SURVIVE. TRY NOT TO FALL APART.</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><p class="bb_paragraph" >At the bottom of the universe there's a fridge, and at the bottom of the fridge every meatball waits its turn for <strong>The Grinder</strong>. Most roll quietly toward the heat. You decided not to.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>MEATBALLS</strong> is a fast, juicy top-down bullet-hell roguelike. Pick a meatball, dive into the arena, and survive 20 levels of escalating waves, mini-bosses, and five multi-phase bosses who would very much like to plate you. Hoover up XP, gold, weapons and stat-warping items to build a meatball powerful enough to escape — but watch your <strong>structural integrity</strong>: stack too much and you start to come apart at the seams. Literally.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><h2 class="bb_tag" >A ROGUELIKE THAT PUNISHES GREED</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >Most games of this kind punish you for grabbing too little. MEATBALLS punishes you for grabbing too <i>much</i>. Every item bolts more power onto your meatball — and more weight onto its frame. Push past your <strong>structural integrity</strong> and the seams give mid-fight: damage-over-time, falling apart, the whole messy business. The best runs aren't the greediest. They're the ones that knew exactly how much they could carry to the door.</p><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><h2 class="bb_tag" >ELEVEN MEATBALLS, ELEVEN PLAYSTYLES</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>Classic</strong> — the OG.
