In one sentence

Thumb Slugger is a baseball game you play with one thumb: flick to swing, flick fast to run, and pass the other team's target before the third inning ends.

The longer version

You bat and the computer pitches. Each game is a chase: the other team has a target, and you need to pass it. Flick up through the pitch to swing. The angle of the flick sets where the ball goes, and a harder flick sends it farther. To take a pitch, don't flick. Timing sets how well you hit it, and the game calls it as you swing, so you see right away whether it was Good or Early.

Once the ball is in play, flick toward a base to send a runner, flick again to go faster, and tap a runner to send them back. Pass the target and you win. Pass it early and you keep batting through the third inning. A tie sends the game to a bonus inning, and your first run wins it.

There are three leagues of eight teams. The last team in each league is the final, and winning it moves you up to the next league and its stadium. Sandlot has fastballs only. Rising Stars adds a changeup and a curve. Big Show makes the fastballs faster and adds a slider.

Privacy summary

Thumb Slugger has no account, and MayBolt Media runs no servers for it, so the studio receives no personal information from the game. Progress stays on the device. The game shows ads through Google AdMob, with Unity Ads taking part in the bidding, after Google's consent tool allows them. Firebase Analytics counts how the game is used, under the same consent. On iPhone, Apple's tracking setting decides whether the advertising identifier is available. Game Center and Google Play Games are optional. The game is not directed at children.
