addedPatch NotesTwo Out Danger Cam: With 2 outs and the ball near the bottom of the playfield, the camera zooms in and time slows down. I've added a visual effect to make it clear why the camera has moved in.

changedPatch NotesPinch Hit Refinement: I refined the handling of the text on the pinch hit buttons. Now, when you use your last Pinch Hitter, the text on the button will disappear (previously, it stayed stuck on "Click to Confirm")

changedPatch NotesBouncing Ping Sounds Refinement: Overall, the sound of the pings from the ball bouncing is lower by default (NOTE: also you can tweak many SFX volumes independently from each other in the options)

I definitely recognize that this game is a bare minimum of what it can eventually be. I really wanted to get it out the door and into your hands just to see if anybody even liked the concept. Now that you have shown me that you'd like more Bad Hop, I'm hard at work making plans to take this game to the next level! I'm going to be working every day so join the Discord to keep in touch!
