Gameplay

The pitcher throws a baseball and the player must catch it. The pitcher may either throw a groundball, in which case the player must lower their hands, or a high ball, in which case the player must raise their hands. If the player loses, the catcher faces the camera looking disappointed.

• Level 1: There are no obstacles. The setting is a baseball park.
• Level 2: A mole may disrupt the ball's trajectory. The setting is a backyard.
• Level 3: Same as Level 2, but the pitcher also throws a bird which the player should not catch. The setting is a mountain range.
