    The gameplay is minimal and lacks depth, resembling more of an e-book or visual novel with shallow, unengaging mechanics. The narrative relies heavily on poorly written text rather than interactive storytelling, resulting in limited player involvement. Overall, the gameplay experience is brief and not particularly compelling.

    • “Epic story, invigorating gameplay, awe-inspiring graphics.”
    • “The crux of this is to push some very low quality, badly done fan-fiction tier writing, where we see once more a developer fail to understand the importance of 'show, don't tell', and for whatever reason, weren't able to convey their narrative through gameplay, giving us endless lines of badly written e-book text instead.”
    • “I did laugh out loud a few times while playing it, but it is also a bit dumb and essentially has no depth of gameplay.”
    • “Well worth the 10 minutes of gameplay.”

    • “This whole thing was epic and hilarious and I would love to see a full-fledged polished title.”
    • “If you ever cringed remembering showing a friend a YouTube video and they didn't laugh, it's less funny than whatever that video was.”
    • “Overall good game 8/10, it's just a short funny game to play when you're bored.”

    The graphics of "the balldragon" are widely criticized for their poor quality, resembling MS Paint drawings that appear amateurish and detract from the experience. While some mention awe-inspiring visuals, the overall consensus highlights the game's graphics as among the worst on Steam.

    • “Epic story, invigorating gameplay, awe-inspiring graphics.”
    • “The graphics here are particularly awful, MS Paint garbage, so bad that it actually stands out as one of the worst looking games on Steam.”
    • “"The balldragon" is a short, garbage more-book-than-game joke/parody piece with MS Paint graphics, middle school joke writing, and a thematic ripoff of Dragon Ball Z (but I guess because this is parody it fits under fair use).”
