Gameplay

edit

In Flick Home Run!, the objective is to swipe across the screen to hit a baseball that is being pitched to you. Depending on the game mode (Minor Challenge, Major Challenge, Moonstar Bonus, Multiplayer, Training, Bunt Master, Total Balls, Faster & Faster, Giant Unit, Moto Cutter, Moonstar Bonus II, or Called Shot) your objective is to either hit the ball as far as possible, land the ball in a specific zone, or hit the ball in an arc that will collide with certain bonus objects on the level. A round ends once the player misses the ball more times than stated. Players face different ball types that will move in unique ways before arriving to the home plate. The objective of the game is to get the score as high as possible.
