Gameplay

Home Run Battle 3D utilizes gyroscope motion controls to aim within the batter's box. Players swing the bat by tapping the screen. Hit distance is based upon striking location, the player's Power attribute, and the Player's Contact attribute. These attributes can be changed by changing a character's equipment. Equipment can be purchased with either the goldball currency earned through gameplay or via in-app purchases.

Home Run Battle 3D features three gameplay modes: Arcade, Classic, and Duel. The first two are single-player modes; the latter is multiplayer only.

In Arcade Mode, players try to hit as many home runs as possible. Points are awarded for each hit, and 100 bonus points are received for hitting a home run. The bonus points increase by 100 points for each consecutive home run. Any at-bat that does not end in a home run resets this bonus score. The player gets an "Out" for any strikes or fouls. When the player reaches ten outs, the game is over.

In Classic Mode, the player only receives 1 point per home run. Outs are received whenever the player does not hit a home run. The game ends when the player reaches ten outs.

In Duel Mode, the player pits his character against other players from around the world in real-time matches. The first person to reach a set number of points, based upon the pitcher difficulty selected, wins. The winning player is rank points for winning as well as a gold ball prize for winning. Players can opt to re-match or face other players.

gollark: Wikipedia says:> A replication of Dunbar's analysis with a larger data set and updated comparative statistical methods has challenged Dunbar's number by revealing that the 95% confidence interval around the estimate of maximum human group size is much too large (4–520 and 2–336, respectively) to specify any cognitive limit.
