  • The four levels of player are based on Home Run distances based on the user’s age and scaled up with the game’s play levels. Leveling up is unlocked by achieving the target number of Home Runs at the current level. 
  • The Game is played in 2-minute periods with one timeout available to be used. 

 

 

  • Game assets
    • Timeouts
      • The player gets at least 1 timeout (up to 30 seconds) to use per game
      • The player can earn more by taking swings in Practice mode – 1 timeout earned for each user-created session with a minimum of 50 valid swings
    • Distance boosters
      • If available, a distance booster is automatically applied when the distance for a given swing is close enough that the estimated distance + distance booster will result in an HR (The value of a distance booster is 20% of the target HR distance). 
      • The player can earn these by taking swings in Practice mode – 1 distance booster earned for every 50 valid swings taken in a given calendar week
  • Scoring
    • Each HR is worth 1 point
      • Home run streaks
        • If the user gets 3 HRs in a row, they score 2 bonus points
