Very good but alright
Wed Apr 27 2022 young brobroThis game is game is very good and fun I like that you can upgrade, get new bats, and new people and all that other stuff, it’s just when ever I get right in middle and hit red it does go far but if you try to bounce on your first bounce it just goes super high it go farther(sometimes it does) but if you don’t try to bounce it in the first bounce it bounces by itself then on the second bounce if still don’t hit it it will still just go high, and sometimes when I hit the ball I feel like I’m about to go to the next level because I’m on smooth grass and I STILL have bounces, but nope, I’m smooth grass I somehow hit some kind of invisible block or something, and also sometimes I feel like the game is trying to make you loose distance because I’m going pretty far then I stop and use my bounce but I wasn’t going backwards because sometimes if your going backwards and use your bounce you’ll go backwards but all I did was going forwards and stopped and when I tried to use my bounce it maid me go backwards and there was nothing in front of me, and I feel like the game just spawns in random objects so recently I was playing and I was going super far then a bunch of trees come in then none of them hit me and in my head I said yes because before I’ve been going far then hitting trees then go backwards, so I didn’t get hit by a tree but then there’s just a random pole sitting there and then…I HIT IT!!!!! AND THEN IT SENDS ME BACK PRETTY FAR…so yeah
A ton of fun with a caveat
Mon Jun 25 2018 Tedw9So Ive been playing this game for a bit now and I must admit it is a blast to play. Super easy and intuitive to learn and use, pick it up and put it down with ease. Perfect for someone like me who does not want to have to invest chunks of time playing if I don’t want to or can’t at the moment. So far, I do love the game. Ive not played long, but what I have has been a blast. What I don’t love is that between rounds, you win and claim coins to be used for upgraded items. They offer you 2 choices, take the coins or double your reward for watching a video. Cool, I’m down with that. The rub is that I don’t always want to double my reward, so I click just take coins. The issue I’m finding is that 90% of the time I’m being force fed an ad anyway without any reward. If I wanted to watch an ad, I would have chosen double my reward. I didn’t, so don’t force me to watch one. And I am choosing double my reward most of the time as it helps me build up quickly, so I’m not trying to avoid the ads. I just don’t want an ad between almost EVERY round as most ads are AS LONG as a round. That’s too high of a price to play this game. It shouldn’t be almost a 50/50 split between game and ads, thats way way too much. I don’t normally review games, but I do like this game and hope something can be done about all the ads so I can really fully enjoy this game.
Detailed Game Mechanics Review
Mon Mar 26 2018 Juh-MichaelThe progression is fantastic. You can upgrade strength, speed, and bounce. Every time you upgrade them your stats improve by 10% and the cost of the next upgrade goes up by 20%. Every 1000 meters gives you a 5% strength boost and a 5% currency boost. Also every 1000 meters up to about 50k meters you will unlock a cosmetic bat upgrade. While you hit your ball around the map you will collect gems on the ground that are used to purchase cosmetic player upgrades.
DEVS: (in recent update: thank you so much for increasing the game speed. Unfortunately I think there is a bug in the game. I think it has to do with terrain generation. (Context: I have the iPhone 8 Plus, I closed out all apps on my phone including Baseball Boy, then I reopened baseball boy) I now hit the ball to about 90k meters before it hits the ground. Unfortunately the ground doesn’t load in time and then I’m instantly teleported back to the beginning to hit the ball again. If I purposely botch the hit so as to land around 70k-80k meters the ground catches up and I CAN play. I don’t know if this is by design, but because of this I can not pass 104k meters in the game. I have a video of everything I just explained if needed)
Honestly not sure if the developers even tested the game
Mon Jul 25 2022 SubtleClicheThe game is alright but it becomes unplayable after a few minutes, sometimes the ball will randomly jump backwards for no apparent reason and it’s just incredibly frustrating because this problem can easily be fixed. even when the ball is rolling on flat ground it could randomly jump backwards and it happens roughly half the time you have a solid hit. Don’t get me even started with the ads, I’d maybe be more hesitant to complain but I can’t play 1 minute without the same 30 second UNSKIPPABLE ADS popping up every two hits. Combined with the awful bugs such as the ball simply going under the map and breaking the game, to the broken mechanics and more cheap mobile game ads than one can stomach. This game is meant for 6 year old children with booger covered iPads, this game is worse than hangnails, this game makes me wanna look up words in my thesaurus to correctly identify how much I despise this game. I will never look at mobile games the same after this experience, in fact I will now be boycotting this company until I receive a formal apology in the mail, along with a 15 dollar gift card to Arby’s, only then will I consider to allow myself to glance upon the silly baseball boy game. I have lost all hope for the universe, I will be taking my anger out on my old golf clubs at the local driving range. Good day.
To Many Issues
Mon Mar 29 2021 Fun game ratings crewBefore I go on a long explanation of all the things wrong with this game. I want to say that the developers did a good job at minimizing ads(or at least for now - knock on wood), but that is the only thing that is good about this game.
This game requires you to spend coins in order to improve your results of hitting, and therefore your level, which improves your stats. Within this continuous cycle, there are three things to purchase that directly “improve” your hits. One of them is the “bounciness”, and that leads me to the biggest and most annoying problem of the game: when you tap the screen to get the ball to bounce of the ground, once you have hit it, the ball will randomly hit nothing and fly up in the air. While it does this, it usually send your ball backwards decreasing the profit from your hit. I am not sure if this is a glitch, that the developers need to fix, or if it’s programmed scam in the game to keep you from “achieving” what you are “supposed to” do, thus keeping you playing longer. And if that’s the case developers; it just makes people delete the game.
Secondly the ball will randomly fly under the map, and will not reward your hit, but instead send you back to hit another ball. This is not as bad, and far less annoying than the first.
But hey, they had the skill to develop the game so what can I really complain about. Please just fix these problems so you don’t lose more of your audience. Thank you.
The ads are only a fraction of the problem.
Mon Aug 27 2018 Update ReviewsIve noticed a new era of games, which require you to mindlessly tap away at your screen to “progress” through the game. Progression, however, is not an attribute the developer of this game had in mind. A matter of fact progression in a type of game such as this, is pointless. It all comes down to timing. If you can tap your screen at the right moment the game gives you the illusion that you overcome an challenge. In truth, the player has not progressed in anything. You hit the ball an infinite amount of times to acquire an infinite amount of money, to infinitely increase your stats. There is no end goal. There is no climax. Its repetitive, and games like this are made to pass time, mindlessly. Its less of a game, and acts more like a stress ball. You only play it when you’re notifications aren’t blowing up. In that case, this game is simply an “ad farm.” And developers of these types of games are “ad farmers.” All the revenue that this game makes is made by ads for other games. This is a counter-productive method in my opinion. What rational idea provokes the use of generating money from a game by promoting its competitors. Lets be honest, mobile game makers are in constant competition with one another and this game is a clear testament to that. A pointless, mindless, and insignificant game that would not deserve anyones time, unless they enjoy viewing adds, and enjoy a game that requires no skill.
Bad updates
Thu Apr 12 2018 Stein84**Updated Review**
They have worked out the glitches I mentioned before. The game is fun while you are progressing. Really fun. Once you get to a certain point though it becomes a little mundane. I still open it once every other week though in hopes something new will come with an update to work towards. It’s a fun free game and will definitely keep your attention for a couple of weeks. Get ready to watch a lot of ads though if you want to make money to spend on upgrades. Good game. My first review was 1 star but after they worked out the bugs it is decent to play. 3 Stars. Hopefully they’ll continue the good updates on the game so it’s still fun once you’ve unlocked everything.
I got the latest update and I immediately had all the bats unlocked because I had already surpassed the update. The updates are always behind where I’m at and now I hit the ball and the screen goes green and just resets the map. Even if I get a perfect hit it just glitches and resets. I can’t even collect money because every hit it just glitches. It was fun at the beginning but now it doesn’t work. Used to be fun and now it’s horrible and doesn’t work. Please fix this. You had a great game for a couple of weeks.
Fun but TERRIBLE BUGS
Fri Jan 01 2021 DontKnockItIt’s fun to just mess around on. Like most other games from this dev, they ruin it with the amount of ads so you need to run it in airplane mode in order to enjoy it. Or just watch the ad to double your money every time since you have to watch half an ad at least anyway after EVERY swing (that’s right, they hit you with an AD after every single swing).
The worst part maybe though that even airplane mode can’t fix is that if you get a perfect hit, half the time your ball hits an invisible wall on the first bounce that actually sends the ball BACKWARDS. This also happens on the terrain. There’s little invisible berms or something that if you hit send the ball backwards at a rifles pace. Either that or it’s a 1px bump that you hit because it happens when the ball has a low bounce or is rolling a lot of the time.
Happens frequently with perfect hits though. So my furthest hits have NEVER been when I got a perfect hit. Which really ruins the point of the game because the one challenging part of it doesn’t reward you. This should be an easy, simple patch. So we’ll see if they fix it. Once they do, I’ll rewrite my review for a 2-3 stars. Decreasing the ads would raise it to a 4. Maybe an ad every 5 swings. Even then that’s a lot but it’s at least reasonable. Find other ways to monetize your games rather than flooding with a seriously hair-pulling amount of advertising.
Good and entertaining game, but there is a huge bug that ruins the game.
Wed Jun 15 2022 make more pointsHi! Your game has been very fun and entertaining to me! I bought “no adds” and the game is very fun and entertaining. I consider myself pretty good at it, not to be arrogant or anything at all. I played it for months at one point. I took a break from it for about a few weeks or so. I came back a little while ago. This is when I found out there was a huge bug that ruins the game. So I swung the ball and it went for a long time, then, it finally stopped. Normally it would say “game over you may now collect some cash depending on how far you have gotten” or something (it probably wouldn’t say it but you know what I’m saying like when your ball stops moving and it restarts) and then you restart and swing it again. But for me, that’s not the case. When I swing the ball, it goes on and on until it finally stops. But when it stops, it stops forever. It does not restart. The ball sits there. Nothing happens after it stops moving. It just sits there and I wait a minute or so till I finally exit the app. Please fix this. I really liked this game. I still do, it’s just, this completely ruins the game. It is kinda unfortunate because I spent my money on gamepasses so it’s a bummer. But have a good day! Try to fix this.
Great concept but poorly executed.
Sat Jan 19 2019 highkeycryingI’ve seen this ad everywhere and honestly was getting fed up. I mean if they put this much effort into advertising then it has to be good right? Wrong. I downloaded this without much thought since the first few reviews were five or four starts so I thought hey, what could go wrong. Well my life isn’t ruined or anything but time is certainly wasted. First off, the game *lags terribly* and I mean REALLY really bad. I’m on iOS 12 with around 100 gb of storage since I just got this phone wiped a while ago (backed up of course but I decided to start off on a clean slate, which is why I’m downloading games since my phone is pretty much empty). And so I tried turning the WiFi off, it crashed every single time. Even with restart. So I turned on the WiFi again and it worked. No doubt a money thirsty app but then again most apps these days are like this. And so I was hit with the urge to uninstall but I decided to give it a few more tries. Took me a few crashes (even with WiFi on) but I got to level five. I couldn’t take the crashes anymore so I’m about to uninstall the game. It’s a really good concept but really poorly executed at the same time. Hope the devs can fix it somehow but I guess they won’t bother since they’re pulling in insane downloads just with advertising.
