Home World Run

About

Home World Run is a platformer beat 'em-up where you control two sisters stranded on an alien ship after a cosmic baseball mishap. Alternate between Sally, a powerhouse who bashes enemies with her bat and cleats, and Jackie, who throws objects and foes while protected by an indestructible helmet. Switching between them opens new routes through levels filled with traps and slimy creatures. Combat leans into their contrasting skills, Sally smashes through obstacles while Jackie disrupts enemy formations with precise throws. The stages mix vertical platforming with beatdowns, requiring timing and strategy to progress. The hand-drawn visuals pop with energy, pairing cartoonish characters with chaotic action sequences. A bullfrog mascot named Billy hands out upgrades in exchange for tickets earned through play, adding a layer of progression. Community feedback highlights the game’s brisk pacing and sibling dynamic, though some note the difficulty curve steepens quickly. With a 4.5/5 average on Steam, it’s a zany, skill-based romp best approached with patience and humor.

Storyline

What happens when a baseball player hits a home run so powerful it soars all the way into space? You get some very angry aliens. After such a home run, Sally, the greatest batter in the world, gets abducted by the Guis, a race of slimy aliens with a thirst for galactic conquest, and to make matters worse they've even captured Jackie, pitching prodigy and Sally's little sister. Now, the two athletes have to combine their talents in both combat and platforming to escape the alien spacecraft and get back to their home world. Sally's unparalleled strength allows her to perform a variety of powerful attacks with her bat (and even her cleats!) to destroy any creatures or objects that get in her way, even launching foes into each other for big damage, while Jackie is equipped with an indestructible helmet that makes her invincible, as well as one mean throwing arm that allows her to toss things with ease, even enemies! Learning to control the two in tandem will be key to getting back to Earth. Along the way, they are aided by Billy the Bullfrog, the team mascot, who provides the duo with upgrades and new abilities... Provided they have enough tickets to pay him, anyway.
