Has tight controls. The bombs felt like they were a little hard to make them go where I wanted. This has a lot of potential though! :)

I like the art style and your variations of its theme. Right clicking in the web player caused some issues for me, but the game seemed pretty playable withing the swinging. Thanks for the sharing the game, I had fun!

@mutatedsoftware Thanks for the feedback! After some testing, I believe I fixed the issue with the context menu popping up in the Web Player build.

Good fun. Nice sound and graphics. I liked the way the planet got bashed up and the final explosion. Aiming took a little getting used to.

The soundscape is something! I had some difficulty with the controls on a touchpad. I like the frantic-ness of it.

@PinPickle Thanks for the feedback! Try using Left CTRL to toss bombs and Left ALT to swing the bat. Not sure if that makes it easier instead of using the touchpad. Thanks for playing!

Pretty fun concept. I liked how the bomb trajectory works and I do like the humour of swatting away a giant asteroid with just a baseball bat.
