Bullpen is a landscape, single-player (with optional 2-player co-op) office relay game. Senior teammates send you tasks; you carry them - one at a time - through multi-step routes around the floor: kick off a run, assemble the piece at your desk, print it, and deliver it before the request's patience runs out, delegating to teammates when you need the parallel time. Every day is a fresh seeded shift, so the daily leaderboard is the same challenge for everyone. It's an affectionate parody built as a personal tribute, with team-voted aliases standing in for anyone real.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Bullpen signs you in anonymously the moment you open it - just pick a nickname and play. Linking an email is entirely optional; it only exists so you can restore your same profile and progress if you switch phones.
How does the daily leaderboard work?
Each day's shift is generated from a seed, so every player who plays that day faces the exact same tasks, timing, and events. That keeps the leaderboard fair - it comes down to how well you played, not luck of the draw.
How does 2-player co-op work?
One player creates a room and shares the invite code with a friend; the friend enters the code to join. You then split the same floor and tasks together in real time. Co-op has its own separate leaderboard and never affects your solo ranking.
Are there in-app purchases or ads?
No. There are no ads and nothing to buy with real money anywhere in the app. Cosmetics in the shop are bought only with in-game money you earn by playing.
The app won't rotate / looks wrong.
Bullpen is landscape-only by design - it's a one-screen relay across a wide office floor, so it doesn't support portrait orientation. Make sure your device's rotation lock is off.
