Bitball Baseball lets you manage and build your own team in this ultra low-res simulator

Bitball Baseball: Get ready for a super low-res baseball simulator where you'll manage your team, recruit players, and build a championship-caliber stadium. Enjoy the game for free, or upgrade to the premium version to create your own custom players and teams.

Ah, baseball. The satisfying *crack* of the bat, the thrill of a close play at the plate, and the aroma of (questionably edible) hot dogs. While I may be a Brit and not intimately familiar with the finer points of American pastime, I understand the appeal of managing a Major League team. Bitball Baseball lets you do just that.

Don't expect photorealistic graphics. Bitball Baseball embraces a charmingly low-resolution style, offering a unique view of the entire field and a crowd of pixelated fans as your team battles for victory. Each swing of the bat is a race to the base!

Features include all the essentials of a fantasy sports simulator: player trades, team customization, stadium building, and fan management (maximize those ticket prices!). The premium version unlocks the ability to customize player names and appearances, and even create entirely custom teams.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Baseball simulators might be less common than their football counterparts, but the universal appeal of this sport is undeniable. I appreciate Duckfoot Games' transparency regarding the free and premium versions, clearly outlining the features of each on the storefront.

Bitball Baseball is slated for release on March 12th. Pre-register now on Android or iOS and prepare for your first at-bat!
