They can only be opened if your slugger levels up enough, or difficult challenges like reaching round 15 are completed. The goal is to make it through as many Steps (rounds) as you can.Ī handful of game modes are offered, but almost all of them are locked from the outset.

You'll see knuckleballs, change ups, creeping fastballs, sinkers, and junk Major Leaguers can't throw. Different pitch types (which are highlighted through different ball designs a la Angry Birds or Madballs) keep you on your toes and add difficulty to the derby. The gameplay is simple: All you have to do is swipe your finger in a diagonal motion to hit the ball – hopefully out of the park.
