The note

Timestorm Baseball isn’t without it’s share of flaws, but there is some captivating sense to it. If you press the ` key you can activate one of the two secrets in the game-full exhibition mode!

Why it belongs in the Summer build log

This is the kind of small public receipt that makes the Summer Into AI section useful: not a polished launch announcement, but a playable-edge observation. The prototype still has visible seams, yet the core loop is coherent enough that a hidden full-exhibition mode becomes part of the story.
