Blast Off

How to Play
Grab your bat and get ready to Blast Off!

You’ll take just 5 swings, and we’ll score each one based on your Bat Speed value and total up the scores to see how close you got to getting Blast Man to the moon. It takes 500 points to get him up there. The best part is that we’ll personalize your scoring if you’ve taken enough recent Live > Practice mode not Live > Games mode) swings. If we can’t personalize the scoring, we’ll use the level of play on your profile to do the scoring.
If you want to give yourself an extra advantage, you can earn speed boosters by taking air swings in Practice mode when you’re not playing Blast Off. You get 1-speed booster for every 20 valid air swings you take in a given calendar day.

If you have earned speed boosters, we’ll automatically apply a max of 1-speed booster per game. A speed booster will let you take 1 extra swing (so a total of 6 swings), and then your score will be based on the 5 swings with the highest Bat Speed values.

Want to play at home or without a net? Then just turn on Air Swings mode and play Blast Off without needing to hit a ball.
Tap on Play Now to get started. Take your first swing to start the swing countdown.
