- 【Fixes】Behavior Adjustments and Bat Swing Speed Tweaks - 26 May 2025
The following fixes have been made: ・Enhanced the favor ball effect under Authority, increasing both its size and power boost. ・In Stage9, fixed the behavior so that fireballs are no longer thrown after the first two shots. ・Increased the maximum swing speed of the bat. ・Adjusted power scaling related to bat swing speed. ・Fixed the default value of Mouse Sensitivity (Horizontal). ●About bat swing speed – existing mechanics: Although it may seem like faster swings result in longer hits, in reality, power scaling stops increasing beyond a certain swing speed. Due to hidden effects such as those from Arm Guard-type items and I am CEO, the swing speed requirement is loosened, allowing you to achieve maximum power scaling even with relatively slower swings. ●About bat swing speed – new mechanics in this update: ・The power reduction when spinning like a top has been slightly increased. ・Power…

We’ve made several adjustments, mainly around the Mouse Boost feature. This should improve compatibility with a wider range of mice. If you still feel something’s off, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Fixed Mouse Sensitivity settings in the menu screen.

Further relaxed the activation conditions for the Secret Technique “Maximum Burning” when using Mouse Boost. If you’re still having trouble activating it, try moving your mouse slowly upward. Some non-gaming mice may fail to register extremely fast movements. Buffed the Mouse Boost mode so that you can now fight alongside the legendary swan.
- How To Flail - 28 March 2025
Here are some tips for playing. Yeah… we really didn’t explain anything. Sorry about that. Hope this helps! 〇Open the Menu Please, for the love of god, open it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We’re sorry about the poor guidance and lack of explanation!!! There’s some genuinely useful stuff written in there!! Like settings that’ll make your movements smoother and other useful things!! 〇Aim for Supersonic To score high, only four things matter: Three rules, and how fast you move your mouse. Swing the bat all at once while it's glowing red. The best hits usually happen when the bat has rotated exactly 180 degrees from the start of your swing. There’s a sweet spot on the bat — the closer the ball hits to it, the better it flies. The sweet spot is somewhere between the center and the tip of the bat. If you hit it just right, you’ll see sparks and hear a metallic sound. Use the Contact setting to fine-tune you…
