Great game.

Love the slow batter ready animation, the thunk of a hit, that weird clatter of hitting it weird (which I got a LOT).

Well, it didn’t take long this time. It never takes long when it comes to my balls. Many people in my life have been let down by this.

i admit to checking balls-related comment thread to see how long it takes for someone to mention ball-shaped sexual organ balls

I also don’t have the balls it takes to face that level.

i love that the game has something of a sports simulator vibe, with the lack of music and all those different batting sounds, it’s pretty cool

i got like 4500 points but i can’t seem to beat that giant rectangle level, i never have enough balls!

And if you hit space during the minigame, you can play it with two players!

Just realized the 3 game modes are all pretty different. And in Mini Game, you control the pitcher.

Also, it just hit me that “Homuran” = “Homerun”

I enjoyed this a lot. Took me a while to realise the cursor affects where your shot goes, I thought it was all just timing at first.

This feels really fresh. It took me a while to realize the occasionally explosive results were because of subtly glowing special bricks and not due to especially precise swinging.
