Bitball Baseball is a love letter to the NES era of sports games. It understands that you don't need complex licensing or ultra-realistic physics to make a sports game fun; you just need good timing and charm. The pixel art is fantastic—the little 'swing' animations and the way the outfielders dive for balls are full of character. It feels like a modernized 'Baseball Stars' or 'R.B.I. Baseball'.
The controls are what really sold me. Tapping for a swing and swiping to aim your pitch is incredibly intuitive for a touch screen. There's enough depth to the pitching (curves, sliders, fastballs) to keep it from being a mindless tapper, and the season mode provides a good reason to keep coming back. It's the perfect sports game for someone who wants the stats and the season progression without the 40-minute commitment of a realistic simulation.
