WTF?! This is brutal and i like it. Very disturbing. Sound positions are off, but its a good thing acually. It supports the mood.
This is so unsettling, in the best possible way - I feel as disoriented as I would be playing actual baseball, and nearly as uncomfortable as I'd be in actual Hell. Great sound effects and great concept - I made it to one base and then died, but who's counting? :)
this shit rules
Great Game keep up the good work.
Nice to have another brutal game out here. I love the ambiance, the music and sound give a nice mood, spooky stuff. Good Job!
@gno-evenimente any chance you could paste that error?
I loved it. So good.

@gno-evenimente aha thanks! I think that means you don't have DirectX runtimes installed? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=35 or https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34429 if you want to grab them. Or I should probably add some kind of check in the game before enabling shaders. Though if i did that you'd miss out on all the glitchy effects that add that nice cheap and quick layer of texture to the game. Hmm.
@ragtagradical Oh, that makes perfect sense because I just reinstalled Windows. i'll download it and try again. Thanks!
The atmosphere in this game is amazing! It's visceral and terrifying. I can't believe that you pulled this off in GameMaker 1! I wouldn't even know where to start...
Wow, really great game. I was not expecting this at all when opening it. It fits the theme great and is really unique. Well done!
Very cool art design, gameplay, mood. I'm love it. GG man!
Great atmosphere, graphics, sound and idea, but was too hard for me. :(
Really loved the game. Best thing the mood and ambient! Really amazing you did that in three days.
This is a lot of fun. Tough game but nicely rewarding!
WTF FELLA!!! I could not play almost at the beginning but after a while I start batting every stuff was coming to me! hahahaha great job!
Properly scary :skull:
The mood was incredible! The sounds and graphics made me feel like I was actually in hell. Good work!
Thank you for the feedback! if anyone beats it take a screenshot-- There is an ending.
Ok so I don't think the mechanics or tech were particularly amazing... but that didnt matter at all because it was scary and fun. reminded me DOOM back in the day, scary as hell with limited vision and great effects. The rough controls made me feel more panicked when being attacked and trying to figure things out. Really well done! You dont need high tech to give the player an awesome experience!
The atmosphere of the game definitely brought on the creepy side, got that nailed down. The indicator for the pitch wasn't showing up properly it seemed when I was playing on stream. Loved the concept though,
Absolutely ungodly terrifying. I Love the atmosphere, well done!
It was a bit difficult to strike or understand how to move as the pitch and the base are slightly (on my screen) not in the same axis (maybe its normal?) but I nearly had a wet pants when zombies or whatever got into the way xD Well done for the mood !
I have no fucking idea what is going on but it's terrifying! Which I love. It would be great to see the same game with maybe slightly more explanation, and maybe slowing the ball down or something!
5 stars for atmosphere, the only downside is it's really hard to tell what is actually going on in the game. If you wanted to take the project further I would recommend taking away some of the blackness and finding some theme fitting special effects that help the player understand what they are doing and where they are going
This has a great atmosphere and I actually jumped on the first out. Gameplay wise it's a bit hard to figure what's going on at first, but I got a hang of it.
Nice work.
Excellent use of visuals and audio; it only needs some minor tweaking to truly strike fear into the player. Solid work.
So cool. Horror Sports. Immediately, I felt like I did the first time playing Devil Daggers. The mood is tangible- connecting with the ball is perfect (especially after a series of outs) and sliding was surprisingly satisfying. Haven't beat it yet- but I'll be back! Thanks for the game!
Absolutely brilliant premise to actually create purposeful "jump-scares." Jump-scares being in quotations because its not quite a jump-scare. I don't think the game has to be this dark... maybe have it take place in some fleshy-pit? Honestly, thats a small nitpick in an otherwise fantastic game.
The graphics were amazing. I loved the mix of sports and horror (I had a similar idea, but not the skills to do it), so I loved someone did this, and did it GOOD.
Nice game, you should feel proud :)
I was afraid of sports before, BUT NOW... well done :D was actually kinda spooky.
This game is so dark and moody. Great job! I wish the bases were larger, I had a really hard time not overshooting them.
Why the hell does it say "safe" when I get raped by dark forces two seconds after xD Really amazing atmosphere and play with effects. It feels like you really knew what you are trying to achieve with the atmosphere and you did it. There is a certain base which I fail each time, for some reason I can't get to it before those nice people from hell ambush me, and I can't really do anything to them either it is just a strike after strike, so eventually I had to give up due to repetitiveness. Custom built 3D engine was a great decision, I don't think you would achieve this unique look in unity without spending too much time.
Very disturbing, in a good way! The art style is excellent, creating the right mood for the game. It's pretty hard do play, but at the same time, it's fun. Good job!
I also made a horro game, please, take a look: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/confessional
@kr4ft3r "safe" is a loose concept in hell ;) -- also @jonathan-daar if you press Ctrl or Shift you will Slide into base which helps stick you to it.
@legavroche yeah it ended up a bit darker than I originally intended. I lightened up the sky a bit in an updated build.
Oh thank you I was trying to let go of shift before hitting the base so I wouldn't slip past it.
When I tried to play your game on stream at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames, it made OBS go black until I restarted it. This persisted even after closing the game. I haven't had this issue streaming any other games, and have no idea how your game could have caused it.
@saoi-games i haven't heard of that issue before. Other streamers have run it fine. I record my videos of it in OBS. What is your screen resolution? Maybe there's an issue there.
Awesome entry! Really nice work with that audio, the mood, and glitchy graphics, totally nailed it! And the idea of mashing baseball and horror is just great, loved it! That said, I found it pretty hard to play, couldn't finish one single game, even with your instructions. There's little on the screen to orient yourself, and I was under the impression of being constantly moving. Other than that, this was a superb entry. Congratulations!!
That was metal as f*ck!! Great job!!
Home run!
... sorry. :D Great stuff, man. I feel like there was some confusion about what was going on, but it all fed back into the overall mood. Intense.
I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.
I hope you continue with the project.

I didn't quite get what was going on... the first-person perspective made the baserunning pretty hard. I did manage to hit one ball, and ran to one base, but then after that I couldn't tell where I was supposed to go or what to do next. Do I just keep batting from wherever position I'm standing at the moment? That's unlike baseball enough that it was not intuitive.
A+ for atmosphere, though, you really have a good aesthetic going on for a horror game.
The game is so-so. I was once again convinced that there is nothing better than earning money on a computer. And I advise you to do the same. If you want to find a good place where you could make good money on your computer, then you should [go to https://takebet.ug](http://takebet.ug). I managed to find a good bookmaker on this site. Try it and you.
