This is the kind of game that makes me love game jams. Super fun idea, with great execution!
Really enjoyed this! As a baseball fan, I could feel your passion and the fun spirit of the game. Simple but cute art style too. Keep it up — excited for your next one!
Really fun idea. Quick to understand and still challenging
I made my catcher proud

It got harder than I thought. I think a mode where you have limited time and the signals speed up would be fun. The musics and the catchers expressions are amazing
@ionax Great point! I actually thought about adding a "stamina" system,but it might be a total brain overload! I felt like time limits and faster speeds would be more fun. I'm so glad you like the music and the catcher's expressions—It means a lot.
@lukast Glad you enjoyed it! Fun fact: Based on my research, actual pro baseball signals are way more complex than what's in the game. I guess that’s the result of thousands of hours of training!
@awen Thank you so much! This is actually my very first game, and I’m definitely going to keep learning and make even better ones in the future! Stay tuned!
@sam-horner This is exactly why I love game jams too! The energy and the community are what encouraged me to finally create this—which is actually my very first game ever.
This game is very good
还蛮有趣的
@shivvvy 感谢你的游玩！我也玩了你的游戏，太强了实在
Здорово, очень инреррестно)
看起来像小时候游戏机上的游戏。 画面表现在低像素下居然也出奇得不错。 爱来自小黑盒 :smile:
Absolutely outstanding for your first game and first jam. You've managed scope really well; the game is fun, well sized and paced and nicely polished. Fantastic job.
@garyglhf Thank you so much for playing!
Thanks for playing! It means a lot to hear that, especially for my first entry. I really enjoyed your game too—the reflection effect on Kekia 3310 screen are fantastic @Slippers
@AveryCheun9 感谢你的游玩！确实很像FC的感觉，但这是我美术的极限了！只有这个风格我才画的来立绘和动画。但起码美术风格比较统一，令人庆幸。
Game is perfect on multiple levels, gives lots of emotions and interesting gameplay and narrative experience. Thank you and keep it up!!
I liked it, a fun take on the theme, and the "one game of baseball" structure gives it and a complete story arc, but at the same time, the: [3strike*3out+easy early signs] made the first half of the game a slog to get through.(maybe a few "practice pitches" for teaching the basics could have helped?). Overall one of the better games I've played this jam so far.
不要小看我和我搭档的羁绊啊TaT，好激动人心的故事发展口牙！ Ratings给全满星了，因为我觉得作为一个完整的游戏来说无可挑剔。可能是我本人爱好的原因吧，我对游戏性比较挑剔，一开始我就猜到了大致的加密方式，所以已经准备把“我觉得单一的肢体语言加密还是有些单调，增加一些场外混乱的因素比如音乐、观众干扰、体力不支造成的视觉模糊等可能会让游戏更有趣”这句话发在评论区，你好坏啊，这叫我怎么说出口！ 能构思好这种signal方式简直不可思议，我一开始的思路基本都局限在几个方向了，从来没想到还有肢体语言等等这些信号……作者对棒球很了解吗？是不是棒球里就有这种战术（
Very interesting concept and nice mechanic implementation. I`m not a fan of baseball, but the signs are intuitively understandable and the atmosphere of being on a baseball game is awesome. Great work!
wow this is so good! Really it's all together like sounds, look and feel. Coach guiding you along, pressure building up when you get it wrong, had a great time!
Your game really reminds me of those classic PC games from the '80s and early '90s, maybe even the PC-98 era? It gave me a strong sense of nostalgia. I also really liked how you incorporated the game jam theme, and I found the game genuinely fun to play.
I think you did a great job especially considering this is your first video game, as you mentioned. Congratulations, you’ve done really well!
@god1385 20(8)1(14)11(19)_6(15)18_16(12)1(25)9(14)7 ！！
@TinySalad Thanks so much for playing! Regarding the pace of the first half: I’ll admit I had some doubts about the difficulty of the first two levels. I was worried about making it too punishing right out of the gate, but I’m sorry to hear it felt like a bit of a slog! Thanks again for the feedback and for the support!
@w2k 其实棒球知识全是从钻石王牌里学来的啦！在这里强烈推荐一下钻石王牌，甲子园的夏天真的好燃！冷知识：真实的棒球信号似乎要比游戏里难10倍。可能这就是职业球员吧。
@Ansible Thanks for playing! That mounting pressure in the clutch innings—that’s the most delicious part of baseball, isn't it?
@HagamosVideojuegos Thanks for playing! To be honest, this art style is pretty much my limit as a solo developer! Haha. It was the only way I could ensure a consistent visual style throughout the entire game. I'm so glad you enjoyed how I interpreted the theme, especially since this is my first game. Your encouragement really boosts my confidence!
if i tap my left arm do a backflip rub my tummy and pat my head this game is a 10/10
游戏机风格的像素画面表现确实不错！如果游戏的节奏能快一点就好了，感觉在选取九宫格的阶段添加一个倒计时、倒计时结束随机选取一个位置会更加紧张刺激一些。如果提示的小动作能更加荒诞夸张一些也许会更好玩xwx
@rubatotree 我的美术就是很烂啦！这是我保持美术一致性的极限了！帧动画更是来不及做超苦手的。其实可以加入很多类似逆转裁判之类有趣的东西，但需要的美术太多啦！九宫格的阶段添加一个倒计时其实可以融入进入体力系统，比如缠斗了太久投球不稳啊，就做一个鼠标颤抖或者加一个反向力之类的。如果我美术好的话甚至可以把投手的手做上去，还可以增加更多演出！但是美术限制了我！可恶！ 但总之感谢你的建议和游玩啦！
@gKthegkpchannel Thrown the winning pitch after a backflip！！
坏了呱老师，我那边是手忙脚乱模拟器，你这边这个游戏不手忙脚乱但是要把我脑袋烧了，第一次感觉自己如此痴呆。不过从摇头到小抄老师很贴心的给受挫的玩家准备了补救措施，可以看到很多细节！！剧情也很有趣（不过我已经卡在摸肩膀很多次了（（ 是好游戏就是我太菜了！（另外您说的美术问题我觉得问题不大，从第二关开始入心流了大伙应该把注意力全集中在看手势上了，而且音乐的配合也很有沉浸感！）
Oh no @bigfatgua, my game is a panic simulator, but yours doesn't need fast hands — it straight up fries my brain instead 😭 First time I've ever felt this dumb lol. But from the head-shaking to the cheat sheet, you've thoughtfully prepared recovery options for frustrated players — so many nice little details!! The story is fun too (though I've been stuck on the shoulder-touching part way too many times ((
It's a great game, I'm just bad at it! (Also about the art issues you mentioned, I don't think it's a big deal — from the second level on, everyone's probably in the flow and fully focused on reading the gestures, and the music really adds to the immersion!)
@YurisCat 你喜欢的话就太好啦！摇头其实是现实棒球里就有的暗号交换方式啦。但是小抄我自己playtest的时候完全记不住，感觉必须要加啊！！虽然测到后面完全闭眼就能过了。关于美术还是喜欢猫老师你的风格啊！小老鼠太有感觉了！喜欢那只小老鼠，而且觉得莫名的熟悉，到底在哪里见过呢
我对棒球没兴趣，对外表看上去的玩法也表示怀疑。但是一口气玩通关了，到最后真的让人全神贯注，技能、挑战和剧情的情绪同时达到了高潮，心流达到了巅峰！这设计真的很出色。本次LD试玩里唯一一个给了mood满分的作品~ 中段的时候，摸右腿规则没记住。在这种规则的游戏，语义理解如果产生问题那对体验来说是致命的。第一次是中心对称规则，一开始我以为是描述有误（以为只是1379宫取对称，后来反应过来2468宫也需要对称）才发现确实是中心对称规则。第二次是右腿规则没理解到，后来看小抄才理解到位（记上一轮点位一下子又增加了一层记忆负担，不过还好也能接受）。 剧本完整，情绪弧度优秀，甚至最后还有一个画风叙诡小幽默，很有逆转裁判的味道。很羡慕剧本写得好的人。 唯一美中不足的可能是结尾处情绪没有很好落地，如果配一个胜利音乐和CG就完美了。
@JerryWest 老师你也太会夸了，给我脑瓜夸晕了。很难相信这么会夸得人会羡慕剧本写的好的人，你的评论写的也太让人感动了。关于语义理解产生问题，这是我最担心的。理解不了的话游戏根本没法进行了。所以加了小抄功能，本来还想如果投错了要不要投错了位置。加一个正确位置的提示比较好，但后面思考了用摇头取代了（其实是我画不出捕手给指示正确位置的动画），反正拿不准就用投捕默契弥补吧！右腿真的蛮难的，我自己玩的时候要悄悄用鼠标标记好点位才可以。画风叙诡小幽默，是最后的最后才想出来的，感觉不知道怎么结尾，就想到了逆转裁判，琢磨了半天在想自己的立绘哪里可以加，毕竟我美术就是很烂啦。最后能被get到真是太好了。
@bigfatgua 哈哈哈原来你也记不住吗！！这下我就放心了（xx 那个小老鼠是《披萨塔》游戏里面的，因为我有个程序员朋友很喜欢它的meme，我就把它加进去了！

@YurisCat 对哦披萨塔！我就说为什么那么眼熟！感觉你画的更可爱
first game ever and you drop this banger? the pressure curve is insane my brain was melting by the 7th inning
