Baseball Riot and Doodle God headline this week's Red Stripe Deals
Every week, Microsoft delivers savings of at least 50% off six Windows 10 apps and games through the Red Stripe Deals promotion. It is an excellent opportunity to save a bit on some fantastic titles from the Windows 10 Store.
The Red Stripe Deals run from Thursday to Thursday every week and are an excellent mixture of games and apps that are often available for both your Windows PC and mobile device. However, please note that these deals are only available for Windows 10 devices and will expire in seven days. Unless otherwise noted, the deals do not extend to Windows/Windows Phone 8.1 devices.
Baseball Riot
Baseball Riot is an entertaining gaming title from 10Tons and is a blast to play. Available for Windows Phone, Windows PC and Xbox One, the game puts you in the shoes of baseball legend Gabe Carpaccio, who is seeking vengeance against the energy drink manufacturer Explodz and the baseball community for ruining his career.
Armed with only his baseball bat and a collection of balls, Carpaccio must conquer over 100 levels of gameplay by knocking out his enemies, who will not go easy. He must knock out fans, umpires, fellow baseball players, research scientists and sales representatives. Some characters have natural defenses, such as the umpire with his mask and chest protector, that require either multiple or strategic strikes to knock out (umpires need to be hit from behind).
Each level will have a series of obstacles or barricades Carpaccio needs to bounce his baseball around or through. He will need to choose his shots carefully because each level will have a limit on the number of balls he has to hit. You will have the ability to earn bonus balls, and some levels have explosive barrels that can extend the damage you can inflict.
The Red Stripe Deal only applies to the Windows 10 PC and Mobile versions of the game. The deal knocks the regular price of $2.99 for Baseball Riot down to $1.49.
