I like the graphics and sound, but the controls are very awkward. First of all, you have to use S/D to move left and right, instead of A/D like in the instructions. Also using z x and c is difficult while also using S/D. Character stops when swinging bat, which is annoying. Also the enemies attack far too fast, leaving no time to react. It seems i only got the enemies killed when they had already killed me and I had a little bit of invincibility
I did enjoy the game, and felt it was quite fun. However, I did run into a few moments here and there that felt like bad level design that caused the player to run into a monster. For instance, there's a part where you drop down without seeing what's down there. I ended up falling into monsters. My only other main complaint is that the controls weren't a/d, they were actually s/d, but that could be a problem on my end. I loved the idea, the graphics, and the audio design. Overall, I felt like this was a pretty good game.
Lol @ at that story. It's like Spacejam but baseball!
Nice graphics and sounds. Wish you could run a bit faster but the gameplay was still good. I don't know if it's just me, but it felt like the attack and jump buttons were reversed.
The retro vibes are so totally on-point! All of the audio (that spooky baseball music!), intro, screen transitions etc are just awesome.
The controls do feel a bit awkward in practice (although it's not totally out of line with the era it's emulating =P). Also, as you mention, the theme isn't really integrated.
It *should* be "A" to move left, it's a typo in the code. Will fix ASAP. Arrow keys should work though. Sorry about that! (I blame staying up until 2am for Endgame :P)
The mechanics are great, I wish the controls were a bit less clunky. A platform mixed with baseball looks like a great original idea to develop futher, great entry overall
This game feels and plays like a Nintendo game. I'm very impressed by the graphics, gameplay, and cleverness of this game. The game can be tough just like those retro games too!
I love how you can collect baseballs to throw at the enemies and it appears in the scoreboard at the bottom. It feels like a lot of work really went into the details of this game and I definitely chuckled a few times at the humor.
