At first I thought it was just a guessing game, but it was pretty cool once I started to decipher the signals. Also the art and sounds Are great.

That was so satisfying to play. I was missing a good baseball game! The clues were abstract, but with enough play I felt like the Astros :P . After a couple of hits in a row, your clue disappears and it just went into a countdown, I didn't know if that was intentional, but it turned into a blind guess from that point. That was a ton of fun :)

Lol good Astros reference! The clues were not supposed to go away, the keys should have gone all over the screen after 5 hits. Maybe it's something we'll look into but I suppose it added to the out of control gameplay. Glad you enjoyed it nonetheless! Thank you for playing and your kind comment. :)

WOW! I threw our game in there as a long shot. Very happy to see Mark (GMTK) play it. Very surreal. But more importantly thank you again for the support of playing our game.

I couldn't identify any of the signals, not sure if the problem is me or they are hard to figure out. For that reason it felt like a guessing game. I was able to get 3 in a row despite that!
I liked the art!

Developer

They are meant to be hard to figure out! Glad you got 3 in a row though!

Very interesting concept! At first I couldn't tell what each signal was until a few rounds in through trial and error. The audio is a bit rough but other than that, great work!

Thank you for playing!

I don't understand this game, but when the dude started blinking I started laughing pretty hard. Also sound design and overall presentation is good (especially when you hit the ball, tasty sfx).

Developer

Apologies if it didn’t make sense initially. It’s supposed to be a little trial and error to figure out the signals. But I’m glad you had a laugh and enjoyed the presentation!
