Soon spring will vanquish the horrible winter. Baseball will be back.
But there's no baseball game on the Playdate, you're thinking.
Build it and they will come.
I'm a huge fan of 2D style baseball games. Perfect for short pick up and play with just enough depth. Sometimes I just want to be in the flow, lock on an object moving at a variable speed and hit it as far as I can.
I'm also a huge fan of making games I want to play. So I built it.
This is not a simulation game with tons of stats and a 162 games long season grind. It's a "build your own pickup team from regular folks hanging out at the park and have fun" game.

The most fun you'll have with baseball this year. At half the price of a beer at the ballpark.
All assets are complete, the game is fully playable but not ready for release yet. It needs better CPU behaviour and lots of polishing.
Targeting an April release.
