PICO-8 and Aseprite, which are both very familiar to me.

Konami would like their baseballers back! Love the idea with the weird throws, simple and great execution.

Boing Boy 64Really cool concept! The audio is great and brings back that classic NES vibe. Congratulations on completing the project!

Bob's BucketCheeky, hilarious, and an extremely cohesive experience! Between the catchy jingle and the non-stop “can it get odder than this?” moments, it’s a total blast to play—even when you feel like the one you just missed was completely cheating! :P Huge congrats on such an original idea and fantastic implementation.

Rift RaidersImmaculate presentation (also wow that capsule art is incredible), way more fun than it has any right to be. Just the right amount of sound, the take me out to the ball game jingle is perfect. The scope feels perhaps more appropriate for a shorter jam, but it's so good it gets a pass.

Duck MarchLots of whimsy in a small package! Brought me back to the days of playing wiffleball in the backyard and trying out ridiculous pitches like a moon ball. A few of the pitches felt a bit too punishing, but not in a frustrating way. Worse case, you strike out and immediately jump back in for another at bat.

AlchemistGreat aesthetic, simple and fun learning and anticipating the different pitch types. The lack of gameplay music helps build tension, and the minimal sound effects help re-enforce hits/misses well. It would be cool to have it start a bit slower, then speed up over time ala warioware, and maybe grant extra lives every N levels. Great work overall!

MicrocruiseCool minigame of sorts. Some challenge with trying to figure out some of the pitch wind-ups and react to the wide variety of pitches. There is also fun in anticipating the novelty of all these wacky pitches. Is the pitcher going to throw a melon next where we have to hit twice in a row: once to break the melon then another in rapid succession to actually hit the ball?
Had fun. Couple silly laughs. Keep up the great work!
