Really fun game! Here is what I like: - Very fun and satisfying, especially when it goes "bwah" as you slay a baddie - great art and voice acting - super easy to learn, gets fun fast while also being challenging (especially for the mcnugget ending)

Here is what I don't like: - arrow keys are great and more accessible than mouse/trackpad, but I feel like the combat could have been a lot tighter if you made an option to swing your bat in the direction of your pointer. - The game crashes in the mcnugget ending in the direct download link, it works fine in the google drive version though.

Overall, very fun game, 8/10

@joeawosome4444 Ah, the crash was just because I forgot to change the direct download version when I updated the google drive one-- should be fixed now.

Very solid game! The intro is funny, the tutorial is baked into the gameplay well, the art is clean and easy to read, and the effects are satisfying. Excellent work!

I really loved the intro, and that you did your own voice over. The music and and sfx are also on point.

I had a difficult time getting the ball to do anything consistent, but that kind of thing is to be expected with game jam games that try out new types of mechanics.

Overall good job. :)

I escaped AND got my mcnuggets!!! Truly this is a great day This game was fukn awesome, oozing style and game feel. I felt like a god when i was doing well, the musical notes on beating levels, the increasing note as you got combos up??!? Seriously cant believe this was one person in 2 days, awesome stuff

I never beat the game but I enjoyed what I got to play, I found the intro cutscene to be quite funny!

The best game I've played so far - Great job getting all of that in! Got what I assume is the 'good ending' because I'm a stupid baseball kid!

that was really fun! so simple, so effective

Duuuuuuude this was awesome, I have a soft spot for intro cinematics and this one was so good! Love it! Game itself was really fun, action felt punchy and fair, and the instant restart made it easy to keep playing. Really really enjoyed this one :) Although I wanna know what's behind the mcnuggets door.

Awesome game! The only criticism that i can make is that the theme in this game is more "after 10 seconds" than "every 10 seconds", but i won't pay too much attention to it, i still feel the theme in your game. Mcnuggets ending is awesome, and insanely hard especially with an AZERTY keyboard, but i did it. And i have to mention it, your intro cinematic is well-made. Thank you for this game!

Great game, one of my favorites so far, love the concept, the main mechanic and the art, music, effects, and especially the starting sequence. It doesn't really connect well with the theme for me though, but I would like to play it again if you expanded the concept.

Amazing ^^ and so funny, this is incredible for 48 hours really well done! I got the nuggets :baby_chick: maybe baseball boy isn't so dumb after all? haha ^^ really fun loved it!

Beat the game and go the McDonald!! lol just the right amount of challenge for a jam game. I liked the intro a lot, funny. Felt good to smack the ball, especially when you hit multiple and it makes a good sound. Nice job

drummermansam 2022-10-03 17:30

Feels super good and controlled smacking the ball and gets pretty challenging especially after grabbing the nuggies ha. The levels were really neat too and I liked the enemy variety. Was also really satisfying hitting a bunch of enemies at once and hearing the sound get louder. Nice job!

thegamearchitect 2022-10-03 22:36

hit that ball!

eugenik 2022-10-04 16:53

The art is superb!.

dominic-graziano 2022-10-04 20:42

solid entry. smooth, fast paced and funny.

Finally, a protagonist you can identify with.

But yeah, I also got the McNuggets ending. Super fun especially with the shorter timer, I had some real nailbiters there. The one with the two enemies that take two hits and charge towards you and the six smaller enemies was an on-the-dot victory with no space left except for the trapdoor. Beautiful energetic gameplay. The art style also looks super charming and the music really draws you in as well. Great job all around!

Good job on this one! I like the little details, like the screen shake, GUI text wobble, etc. All in all, this is a great entry.

ryan-ackermann 2022-10-12 21:52

Very well executed!

skyward4d 2022-10-13 15:01

Really liked this one, impressive compo entry! Nice work.

nosloofah 2022-10-13 15:13

This is the best game I've played! It's fun whether you carefully adjust the angle of your shots or just keeping swinging your bat to sweep everyting together.

spudboy 2022-10-17 05:28

Wow so polished! Good music and art. Touches of hitfreeze and intro voiceover really makes it stand out for a jam game. Well done!

hacktier 2022-10-20 21:14

Cool game. The game looks good and plays well. Nice work.

macaroni-dev 2022-10-20 21:21

I loved the feel of the bat. It reminded me of playing a pinball game in the best way. The stretch to the ball to show it was going fast also looked great. Overall, it was fun to play.

The nuggets route was also a super fun touch. Replaying levels but with different mechanics was a great idea.

Thanks for making this fun game!
