The Setup

From the makers of What the Golf?, a slapstick, absurdist minigame collection themed around baseball bats — your hand becomes a bat (or something sillier) across 100+ short, chaotic levels of physical comedy.

The Review

It’s consistently silly in a way that escalates well, and it’s a genuinely good "hand the headset to a friend" party game. About 4 hours of content across the 100+ bite-sized levels, with a wholesome original soundtrack underneath the chaos. Some of the jokes are recycled from What the Golf?, and it’s on the shorter side once you’ve seen the gags.

What I Liked

  • Consistently silly, escalating sense of humor
  • Over 100 varied bite-sized levels
  • Great pick-up-and-play party game

What I Didn’t

  • Some jokes recycled from What the Golf?
  • Short with low replay value once you’ve seen it all

The Verdict

Rating: 4/5
