I'm split on this one. I really like the art, the style, and the overall presentation, but I'm not so hot on the gameplay.
I found it really confusing overall. I don't really know baseball, so I can chalk up being confused about the scoring to that, but I'm really not sure how the timing is supposed to work for either swing and catch. I tried to time it so that the circle matched the size it was initially shown at, which sometimes worked. I'm also not sure what moving the target does when pitching, or how to hit the ball so that it is or isn't caught. I did win the game, but it felt like I stumbled into it.
The magical girl transformation is an especially neat touch.
The intro just goes on and on, and the text isn't skippable, which was pretty frustrating. If the game was longer, it would be less egregious, but in that case I still think it would be better to spread things out a little.
Not much to say about the devlog, it's pretty minimal.
Also, for some reason the itch.io app can't download this game. That's probably a bug in either the app or the website, though.
Thanks for the honest feedback!
The circle is for aiming your pitch, so you want to press the button when it is smaller but before it disappears altogether. Also, the visual novel scene can be skipped by pressing shift. The controls are listed in the description!
