How to Play
Ballpark Slugger is ten pitches and one button. Each pitch swings across the plate on a fixed 1.3-second cycle and you tap as it crosses; time it into the narrow window near the end of the cycle for a home run, swing anywhere else for a single. Let a pitch go by and it is a strike, and three strikes end the inning early.
Controls
- Swing — Tap the canvas or press Space
- Pause — P
Tips & Tricks
- 1The window is measured in milliseconds, not in where the ball looks: about 94 milliseconds wide, centred 72 per cent of the way through each 1.3-second pitch. Outside it the swing still counts as a single rather than a miss.
- 2Swinging is never worse than not swinging: a mis-timed swing is worth one, and only a taken pitch is a strike. Three strikes end the inning, so a wild swing beats patience every time.
- 3Ten pitches at three points each is thirty, and every home run is worth three singles. Chasing the timing is worth roughly triple, but only once the singles are safe.
- 4The cycle length is a constant rather than something that speeds up, so counting the beat works better than watching the ball — the same gap between pitches comes around every time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the timing window for a home run?
About 94 milliseconds, which is 47 either side of the sweet spot. A pitch runs on a 1300 millisecond cycle, the target sits at 72 per cent through it, and the window is plus or minus 3.6 per cent of the cycle. Anything outside that still registers as a single.
How do I lose?
By not swinging. Three taken pitches are three strikes and the inning ends there, whatever the score. A swing always puts the ball in play, so the run never ends on a bad swing, only on a passive one.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. A tap anywhere on the canvas swings, and the canvas fills the play area, so there is no small target to hit on a phone.
