As the summer rolls in, across the world, many of us are enjoying the first taste of warmer weather. With that comes parties, barbecues, and of course, the humble pastime of backyard sports. Now, you can take the no-frills backyard sport of cornhole into the palm of your hand with Pixeljam's newly released Cornhole Hero!
At its core, Cornhole is a simple game: throw a number of bags into a hole cut into a board. Cornhole Hero stays true to this concept while adding a variety of engaging modes. From the classic scoring method to the fast-paced blitz mode, and even an innovative twist where you use cornholes to pop balloons, there's something for everyone.
All of this is presented in a delightfully crunchy retro format. The graphics are reminiscent of the original Atari 2600, with pixelated charm that captures the essence of classic gaming. Even the sound is nostalgic, featuring familiar bleeps and bloops alongside a full retro soundtrack.
The retro aesthetic may not appeal to everyone, especially those seeking a more high-resolution, simulationist approach to cornholing. However, for those who appreciate a self-aware, no-frills experience, Cornhole Hero offers an enjoyable, ad-supported game.
A quick look at the trailer highlights the thoughtful details Pixeljam has included in this release. From the scoring system and basic physics to the amusing possibility of knocking yourself out with a poorly-aimed beanbag, it's clear that Cornhole Hero is worth checking out if you're interested in this unique take on a classic game.
