## What is Homerun?

● Tap at the right time and hit a home run! !
● Has fastballs and breaking balls. Swing the bat by carefully identifying the pitch.
● If you strike out, the game is over immediately. Simple but refreshing game design.
● Aim at the bottom of the ball and try to hit the ball as high and far as possible.
● Be careful of the crows and seagulls, which are the natural enemies of home runs.
● The difficulty level increases as the stage progresses. What stage can you reach? (In-app purchase)
● Aim for high scores in distance, number of home runs, number of combos, and number of completed stages.
● [Apple Game Center] compatible. Let's compete for home runs with friends from all over the world. (In-app purchase)
● You can randomly change the scenery such as mountains and trees in the distance.
● Realistic sound effects make the game even more exciting.

■ How to use
- Watch the ball carefully and tap the screen at the right time.
- The bat will swing at the vertical position you tap.
- You can tap anywhere in the horizontal direction.
- The hitting angle is determined by the contact position between the ball and the bat.
- If you hit the bat on the underside of the ball, the ball will be hit longer, making it more likely to be a home run.
- If you swing the bat too early or too late, the ball will get stuck.
- If you whiff or miss a strike, you will lose one ball remaining.
- When there are no more balls left, the game is over.
- Only the first swing of the bat after pitching is valid; subsequent swings are invalid.
- When you reach the specified number of home runs for a stage, the next stage will be unlocked. (In-app purchase)
- There is a bonus that increases the number of balls depending on the distance of the ball (80.0, etc.).
- When the ball hits the crow, the crow disappears. If two balls hit the seagull, the seagull will disappear.
