Batter Up
Content rating: E+10, contains cartoonish violence
Overview
While in halloween night getting candy, dan the little coyote and his friends had a not smart idea to enter a haunted mansion, however they encounter spooky lil ghosts, and worse of all they want to steal your candy!
You play as the oldest kid of the group, who just came from baseball practice and now needs to strike those mean ghosts away.
(this game is a bit buggy and unfinished)
Gameplay
A simple 2D rhythm game where you need to defend your candies from the ghosts by hitting them with your baseball bat at the beat of the music!
The game doesn't has too harsh lose conditions as it's more meant as a acessible experience for everyone to enjoy.
- 3 songs to choose from to play, of different difficulty levels and lenghts.
- Controller fully support
- Basic scoring system

IMPORTANT NOTES!!
- If you get stuck in a level press R or F3.
- Most of the ghosts are DESYNCED to the beats of the music in the engine so don't worry!
- The VOLUME of the actual levels might be too loud so prepare yourself
- If you don't hit a ghost there's a chance of ghosts not spawning anymore in the level (resseting fix it)
- In certain parts of the levels no ghosts spawn due to a bug
- The end game screen can sometimes not show up, just reset the level!

This game was so enchanting! I really love your art style and the way you did the lighting. It really brought the ghosts aura and the haunted atmosphere to life but kept it nice and soothing like the music! It was so much fun to bat to the beat and enjoy the spooky cute music! INCREDIBLE JOB!!!!!
Good looking style, however, the rhythm part falls a bit short on the beats i guess? However the rest of the game feels incredible to play.
8/10
Thank you!
This game has got a pretty good-looking style, and I'd love to like the game more.
But the rhythm game, part of this, doesn't feel so good. In the meaning that most things are a bit offbeat, or that there isn't any bpm to follow.
Other than that everything's great, music's good and keep it up!
Thanks a lot! I had some problems while coding the ghosts so their positions were all kinda improvised and don't match the beats very well, but I will later try to fix that up
The art is so awesome!!! Also my favorite track is loud cats :) lovely game
Thank you! That was also one my favorite tracks to make for the game
