Sheffield, United Kingdom – Saunter up to the batter’s box and hit one out of the park in the latest release from Distinctive Developments, Boomtime Baseball 1.0 on iOS. Set in the 1920s, Boomtime Baseball captures the spirit of baseball’s legendary athletes like Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson in a nostalgic home run derby draped in the glitz of the Roaring Twenties. Evoking a bygone era, the Jazz Age razzle-dazzle of America’s favorite pastime comes to life through sepia-toned artwork modeled after turn-of-the-century designs. Snappy speakeasies, jazzy jingles, and legendary hitters make Boomtime Baseball an unforgettable return to the Golden Age of baseball.
Featuring jaunty commentary from Boomtime Baseball’s own Jesse “The Shoe” Miller, players can take a swing at hard-hitting curveballs, sliders, and other stylish pitches while aiming for the highest scoring target. The more adventurous can dare to visit Al’s Casino, a shady mob hangout where all bets are off and gamblers can win big in high-stakes mini-games. Increasing one’s batting skills will unlock snazzy ballparks and bats while turning new found fame into lucrative sponsorship deals. Players can also read the game’s latest news straight from the Boomtime Press by checking out the Boomtime Newsreel ticker.
“Boomtime Baseball’s launch marks a unique turning point for Distinctive Developments,” says Nigel Little, Managing Director of Distinctive Developments. “As a studio known for creating sports games for popular yet untapped markets, creating a home run derby baseball game posed a unique challenge. By setting the game at the turn of the century, we created an environment that would be familiar to fans but unlike anything seen before. We’re thrilled with our product and cannot wait to play ball!”
