Spaceball

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

- Spaceball Description

Spaceball (エアーバッター Air Batter) 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 Spaceball 2 is unlocked later. Perfecting it will unlock a gift "Inside Spaceball".

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.
