Batter up, beavers! Welcome to Lodgepole Park, the only regulation softball diamond ever built by beavers, right on the edge of their pond. Nine furry sluggers take the field, the crowd is chewing on the bleachers, and Peg and Stu are calling every play from the press box. Play ball! MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Open your iPhone Duo and Beaver Ball turns into a two-screen handheld: the field on top, your bat, the strike zone and the runner map below. Fold the Duo a little after you let a pitch go and it bends. Open it during a play for a wide shot of the whole park. the park's mascot rides the fold, Shop buys come in a card pack you rip open by unfolding, the Home Run Derby charts every homer beside the field, and the Shop and Locker open like a book. Every trick works with a tap or a slide too, on any iPhone or iPad. SWING FOR THE POND Time your swing, crush a homer over the fence and hear it splash down in the pond. Feeling fancy? Hit one off your tail. New to softball? Batting practice with Peg and Stu teaches you in a few easy pitches. PITCH LIKE A PRO Pick your pitch, aim it, and wind up a windmill fastball. Mix in a changeup or a riseball and watch the batter spin like a log in a stream. SLAPSTICK ON EVERY PLAY Tail Slap a fielder into a belly flop. Stomp your runners home. Dodge a tag in a rundown. Every play is cartoon chaos, and every beaver has something to say about it. MAKE YOUR OWN BEAVER Design a player in the Player Editor: face, fur, hair, hats, bats and a uniform. Then take her through Career mode, from the Pond League bench to the big show. BUILD YOUR TEAM Pick your stars, name your team and line them up in the Team Builder. Meet the Stars to hear where each one grew up. Earn Beaver Bucks to unlock tooth-carved bats, uniforms, helmets and home-run celebrations in the Locker. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Start a league, share its join code, and race your friends up the standings, one game at a time. Peg and Stu sum up how you did in the Recap Show. A REASON TO PLAY EVERY DAY Daily challenges, a daily streak, 50+ achievements (some of them secret), Fan Levels to climb and Game Center leaderboards for the longest homers, the hottest streaks and the biggest fans. QUICK GAMES, BIG LAUGHS Three innings fly by, so a game fits in a car ride, a snack break or a really long timeout. Play a single game, a best-of-3 Season on Easy, Normal or Hard, or a Home Run Derby with your pick of hitter. MADE FOR FAMILIES The kids' line book only: every joke is family friendly. No ads. No chat, and nothing anyone types is shown to other players. No personal info is needed to play. Purchases and links out of the app sit behind a parental gate. THE BEAVER BALL CLUB (OPTIONAL) A yearly subscription with more Beaver Bucks and XP from every game, a monthly streak save and Shop discounts. It renews every year until canceled in your Apple Account settings, at least 24 hours before it renews.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Beaver Ball at none against Game Jolt's shown. Beaver Ball also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 11 days) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). Game Jolt's advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
