Spaceball

"Don't worry about the zoom! Follow the trajectories in your heart! (No practice.)"

- Spaceball Description, Rhythm Heaven Silver

Air Batter (エアーバッター Eabatta, nicknamed Spaceball by fans) is the fourth game in Rhythm Tengoku. In this game, you play as a human figure who is hitting baseballs thrown by a flowerpot. It's sequel is unlocked later.

Gameplay
This game has an odd design. The screen will often zoom out, making this scene difficult to see. The game takes place inside a small green room with a flying saucer. As the music plays, a flowerpot will throw out baseballs, which the player must hit. The ball will hang in the air for either two or three beats, and the player must hit on the last beat to hit it. Occasionally, the screen will zoom out, requiring the player to track the ball using the music alone.

Controls

 * A: Hit ball

Hit or Miss

 * Hit: The ball flies offscreen.
 * Barely: A "doink" is heard as the ball bounces out of the room. A barely counts as a miss.
 * Miss: The ball falls in the hole in the floor.

Rating Notes

 * Superb: Look what I got!
