How does your game represent Mode?
There is a once-per-match Monster Mode that can be activated. It gives a big boost to the pitch/swing die roll and turns the monster rainbow!

Really liked the idea here, I do wish i had a little more control somehow though. Maybe more cards or more card variety
Thanks for checking the game out! Unfortunately I currently only have access to a Macbook and Android device, so I’m unable to try your game out. Let me know if you get a Mac build and I will definitely try it out!
Since they extended the rating period, I was able to play through your game. Left a comment on your page!
Lovely job! What a great idea to mix baseball and card games. The art and character design are also incredibly well done and fun to look at. Great work!
Thanks!
Took me a while to fully understand what was going on (baseball noob here sorry)
Some great visuals and good gameplay ideas, a very nice entry!

Hey! Don't worry about that, we'll release a macos build once the voting phase is over (it's currently blocked...)

Hey everyone, just wanted to add a disclaimer that I’ll be going on vacation and will only have access to an android device and an old MacBook starting tomorrow. So, I apologize in advance if I’m unable to play someone’s game due to these limitations. Thanks!
As of this post, I’ve reviewed everyone who has reviewed my game.
I like the art a lot, always fun to play as goblins. I gave the Kobolds a try too. I liked how the player characters float up and down so you can tell them apart, smart solution and adds even more life to the characters. I was glad that we can use monster mode, that helps turn the game in your favor rather than leaving it up to chance. My only complaint is that one time I only had cards that benefited the other team, and after idly clicking on them in hoping for a miracle to happen and the cards to magically transform into something good for me, I couldn't take the applied card off of my batter, so I had to help the other team on that round.
My favorite detail besides the awesome character art is how a natural 20 comes up as a baseball, that feels really good when it happens for your team. I also liked seeing the re-roll animation after using a +/- card, that was satisfying.
Yea, that’s a quality of life feature I meant to implement. I think I’ll add the ability to de-select a special card post jam. Thanks for playing and your feedback!
Loved the card art and aesthetics of the game, as well ast he muisc! I would have liked to see more interaction with the gameplay as it felt like I didn't have much control
Yea, I think more complex special cards would add that depth. Thanks for playing!
Really fun
Thanks!
I love the expressive character art! I really wish you had more time to add different cards and effects! Great work on the presentation. Nice job!
Thanks!
The art is really well made. Nice concept of using cards and dice in a baseball game. Although I feel like there could have been more depth added if the dice rolls and cards had more special effects rather than a plain number increase. Presentation is crisp and the game is easy to understand and play. Well done!
Yea, I definitely want to put some more complex card effects in!
The goblins and kobold cards are just amazing
I’ll make sure the artist sees this, thanks!
It looks fantastic, the visuals are very polished. The gameplay is fairly shallow so it doesn't feel like you have much control over the outcome, but if you added a bit more depth you'd have a great game here!
Agreed, definitely need more depth!
the art is so good. its nice and simple but a bit too easy so i didn’t feel invested in many of the dice rolls. the music is really nice to, I do feel the in game loop could’ve been extended a bit
I definitely need to add some more complexity to the game, thanks!
There's lots of potential here. A deckbuilding monster baseball game is a sick proposition. I read your comment down below about how you chose to focus on polish over complexity, and I definitely think that was the right move. The game felt very polished. I also found the way the D20 rolls worked really interesting. Solid work!
Thanks!
#1 goblin goons fan here
(great art)
I’m also a Goblin Goon aficionado!
I don't know the rules for baseball but I won so good game.
The art is majestic and my friends give you a +1 for including goblins.
Siberiano did a great job with the goblins, Thanks for playing!
I always love this type of game and the art style really is charming. It could've been build into much better addicting gameplay loop with deeper monster mode mechanic and cards. I love deckbuilding and strategizing, and this is a solid start for it already. I would love to see it expanded upon the idea!
Agreed, I definitely want to add more complexity to the game. I had some tasks set up to add options for pitching/bat stance and some more in-depth special cards, but ran out of time and chose to focus on polish and stability for the game.
Thanks for checking the game out!
Deck builder baseball is such a cool idea. However, you made it a little to easy to just mash the pitch/swing button so I ended up not paying too much attention to the stats. It would be nice to have a little graphical visualization of the odds of each outcome, and then I could make decisions off of that
Yea, I agree, I’d love to add some more complexity to the game. Also great suggestion with the stat indicator! It’d be nice to have a little percentage chance of getting on base. That way you can decide if it’s a good idea to use a special card or not. Thanks for the feedback!
There's something about cards that are just so appealing. The art and style for this game is amazing!
I know what you mean, I’m a big card game fan, and I agree. Siberiano, the artist, did an amazing job! It makes coding and design a lot easier when you have awesome art to work with haha.
Frfr. Have you played "friend vs friends" before. Their card stuff is awesome.
I have not, I wishlisted it on Steam. Looks interesting.
Neat game! I really like the card art and the holographic shader effect is cool also. Nice work!
Thanks!
