Bad Hop Baseball

There's a type of game that I don't really consider a "game" as much as i consider it like. A little toy to play with. This is one of those, and it's cute! wouldn't really recommend it unless you have a buck or two to throw at a funny toy, but it's a very cute funny toy

I love Peggle, I love Plinko, I love pinball, I love those old timey baseball games with the steel balls, and I love this game! What a great idea! I'm glad there are creative people like you in the world making fun things. Cheers to you!

Excellent Pachinko and Baseball mash-up. They just added Streak Mode which is a little campaign, and it can be set as difficult as you like.

Garbage game with a cheating A.I.

I hate to give a negative review, but this game is frustrating more than it is fun. It feels like it has a secret algorithm in place to let the computer always beat you. Your ball will always ricochet into out of a good spot and into an Out slot. The computer's will do the opposite. Sometimes you'll have Out slots for most of your field, while the computer will turn around and get four Home Run opportunities in the same turn. And if you ever get in the lead, the computer will have a miraculously good, superhuman next-inning to tie you or pass you up. And while the point of the game is for there to be randomness in all of your shots, there doesn't seem to be any way to apply any sort of skill or aiming to your shots. The power meter doesn't seem to actually be a good metric of how hard you will launch your ball. You may as well just launch it randomly and pray.

A hyper-casual baseball/plinko game--it's worth it, as long as you know what you are getting. With this game, you can kill a few minutes. Or you can have a pretty good time as you try to win the championship in Streak Mode. The powerups you can buy in game are fun to try and use as you outsmart the "defenders" to earn those runs. But Bad Hope Baseball is far from perfect in its execution (again it is about $2 full-price, so bear that in mind--the dev is very open and honest about their minimal amount of experience on the store page.) So first up is a jarring little bug: Pressing the Escape Key causes the game itself to "desync?" I don't know how else to describe it, If you hit Escape, the game will still be running while you look at the menu, and you can still hit the ball etc. However, when you hit escape again, the game will then look frozen (nothing moving on the screen) even as you can still hit it playing out in the background. Hitting the escape key a few times will eventually get you back in sync--but regardless just use the mouse to click on "Menu" if you need to pause for a minute or change options. More importantly, the AI feels to be completely random in its play st…
