RapidCricket

Rewrite the finish in 100 unforgettable cricket moments.

• Two thumbsLeft thumb picks the direction: leg side, straight or off side. Hold it, slide between the three, or tap once and it stays. Right thumb plays the shot at the moment the ball arrives.
• DriveSpace or K. Along the ground, in the direction you picked. A touch early drags it squarer to leg, a touch late runs it finer to off.
• LoftUp arrow or L. In the air. Nail the timing and it clears the rope. Mistime it and the deep fielders are waiting.
• DefendDown arrow or J. Keeps the ball down and your stumps intact. Good for surviving a jaffa.
• Field mapThe circle in the corner shows every fielder, your direction and both batters running. Aim for the gaps. Tap it to enlarge.
• Read itThe gold ring shows where the ball will pitch. Yorkers are hard to lift, full tosses are gifts, slower balls arrive late.
• CareerA hundred scenarios, easiest first. Clearing the marked ones takes you up a level, and every level unlocks kit that is put on at once. Your club bat is good for the first six scenarios. After that every block is rated for a better bat, and an under-powered bat barely connects. Upgrade in the Kit shop with diamonds or a permanent bat purchase.
• RunningAuto runs for you. Manual shows a Run button after you hit it: tap once per run, and tap again mid-run to call for another. If the throw beats you to the crease, you're run out.
• Diamonds4 for a four, 6 for a six, 8 for clearing a scenario. Spend them in the Kit shop on better bats. Merch comes with levels.
• LeaveDon't swing at all. Balls far outside the line are called wide. Leave one on the stumps and you're bowled.

Keyboard: A, S, D for direction. J, K, L (or Down, Space, Up) for the shot. P or Esc pauses. Tap the field while the ball is in play to skip ahead.

Ten bats, from a plain club willow to a mythic MRF. Each bat level is rated for a block of scenarios, so the career only moves on when your bat does. Earn diamonds in every match: 4 for a four, 6 for a six, 8 for clearing a scenario. Merch unlocks as you level up.
