Home Run Hero

About Home Run Hero

Home Run Hero is a free 3D baseball batting game. You stand at home plate in a sunny stadium, the pitcher winds up and the ball comes flying toward you. Tap at the right moment to swing the bat. Hit it perfectly and the ball rockets high over the outfield wall for a home run; hit it a little early or late and it flies off to the side, rolls along the grass or pops up for an easy catch. The camera follows every big hit through the air, and the distance is shown when it lands. The pitcher mixes up fast balls, slow change-ups and curve balls that swerve at the last moment, so watch the ball, not the pitcher. Each round gives you ten pitches and a target number of home runs; reach it to move on to a tougher pitcher. Missing the target ends the game, but you can resume once and keep batting. Home Run Hero needs just one tap, so it's quick to learn for kids and still very satisfying for adults. It works on phones, tablets and computers.
