Am I a gamer? (My score was like 215) The setting is very unique and well set. I really like the art, love that there are different textures and skins for the bats as you upgrade, but I think you can do so much more with what you have as a base here. (I'm thinking like different types of enemies, more weapons/bats or abilities, gameplay loop of having to run the bases or something? Idk!) Great job for the timeframe you had here for the jam, well done!

How does your game represent "Power"?
There are two main aspects of power in our game. The core mechanic of the game is the Power Swing, which if timed properly can reflect enemy attacks while doing powerful damage. As the game goes on, the player will gain access to additional bats that power up their bat even more. We put a lot of work into giving the player a "Power Trip" as they tear through enemies.

When the bat connects and the effects go off my brain lights up. Great execution!
wow! this is so gosh darn cool, the art style is incredible, the hit stop and expressions on the balls is perfect.
definitely felt very powerful, amazing responsiveness, v satisfying, oh thats a baseball
These are *exactly* the kinds of games that I'm personally really bad at, but I love the style, flair, and enemy variety y'all were able to squeeze out in the time. I really liked this one, despite being a horrible player <3
such a clean art style... my inspiration meter is full! I was going into this expecting some sort of arcade twist on the classic game of baseball, but what I got was a baseball beat-em-up. tbh... I wish the game mode was different, something with a bit more room to breathe. Within 60 seconds I'm running aimlessly around and praying to the baseball gods I make contact. Still, an amazing submission to the game jam. Bravo
holy shit i love this one. so damn good. the art style is perfect. sound design is immaculate. it is so satisfying to just WHACK the balls into the stratosphere. imma need me a bat with massive range for times of need and relieve stress. 10/10. perfect game right here, folks.
EDIT: showed my wife who loves baseball and she said it is just like real baseball games she's been to with her grandpa
The presentation is to be envied :0 VOTED! fives across the board
Beautifully rendered - a delicate balance of endurance and murder, just like real baseball
Original, incredibly well executed, and so so much fun. I played 4 full runs, and I look forward to my 5th. Well done!
Really cool and original.
Only issue I have is that I'd love some kind of visual indicator for the moment right before the balls take off.
That way I would not be outright guessing when to ready my swing.
Nice stuff.
What a crazy producation quality! Graphics, animation, vfx, sfx, feeling on at a level unattainable for jam. Earned a maximum of 78 points and want more. Gameplay is quite additive, although not as polished as the visuals. Very cool work, one of the best in this jam
I've never played baseball before, but I am 100% confident that this is exactly what it's like to play :D
Got 98 score on my first playthrough. Super satisfying hit effects, great graphics, fun gameplay loop! What else is there to say!
