Really liked the idea here, I do wish i had a little more control somehow though. Maybe more cards or more card variety

How does your game represent Mode?
There is a once-per-match Monster Mode that can be activated. It gives a big boost to the pitch/swing die roll and turns the monster rainbow!

Lovely job! What a great idea to mix baseball and card games. The art and character design are also incredibly well done and fun to look at. Great work!
Hey everyone, just wanted to add a disclaimer that I’ll be going on vacation and will only have access to an android device and an old MacBook starting tomorrow. So, I apologize in advance if I’m unable to play someone’s game due to these limitations. Thanks!
As of this post, I’ve reviewed everyone who has reviewed my game.
I like the art a lot, always fun to play as goblins. I gave the Kobolds a try too. I liked how the player characters float up and down so you can tell them apart, smart solution and adds even more life to the characters. I was glad that we can use monster mode, that helps turn the game in your favor rather than leaving it up to chance. My only complaint is that one time I only had cards that benefited the other team, and after idly clicking on them in hoping for a miracle to happen and the cards to magically transform into something good for me, I couldn't take the applied card off of my batter, so I had to help the other team on that round.
My favorite detail besides the awesome character art is how a natural 20 comes up as a baseball, that feels really good when it happens for your team. I also liked seeing the re-roll animation after using a +/- card, that was satisfying.
Loved the card art and aesthetics of the game, as well ast he muisc! I would have liked to see more interaction with the gameplay as it felt like I didn't have much control
I love the expressive character art! I really wish you had more time to add different cards and effects! Great work on the presentation. Nice job!
The art is really well made. Nice concept of using cards and dice in a baseball game. Although I feel like there could have been more depth added if the dice rolls and cards had more special effects rather than a plain number increase. Presentation is crisp and the game is easy to understand and play. Well done!
It looks fantastic, the visuals are very polished. The gameplay is fairly shallow so it doesn't feel like you have much control over the outcome, but if you added a bit more depth you'd have a great game here!
the art is so good. its nice and simple but a bit too easy so i didn’t feel invested in many of the dice rolls. the music is really nice to, I do feel the in game loop could’ve been extended a bit
There's lots of potential here. A deckbuilding monster baseball game is a sick proposition. I read your comment down below about how you chose to focus on polish over complexity, and I definitely think that was the right move. The game felt very polished. I also found the way the D20 rolls worked really interesting. Solid work!
I always love this type of game and the art style really is charming. It could've been build into much better addicting gameplay loop with deeper monster mode mechanic and cards. I love deckbuilding and strategizing, and this is a solid start for it already. I would love to see it expanded upon the idea!
Deck builder baseball is such a cool idea. However, you made it a little to easy to just mash the pitch/swing button so I ended up not paying too much attention to the stats. It would be nice to have a little graphical visualization of the odds of each outcome, and then I could make decisions off of that
There's something about cards that are just so appealing. The art and style for this game is amazing!
Neat game! I really like the card art and the holographic shader effect is cool also. Nice work!
