Six Hit

A quick cricket innings: three overs, three wickets. Swing as each delivery reaches the bat for sixes, fours and singles, but miss and you are out.

How to play

  1. Press the bowl button to face a delivery. The ball rolls down the pitch toward the dashed bat zone.
  2. Press Swing (or Space) at the moment the ball reaches the bat zone. The closer your timing, the more runs you score.
  3. Perfect timing gives six, close gives four, then two, then a single. A swing that is far too early or a ball you leave is a wicket.
  4. The innings is three overs of six balls. It ends sooner if you lose three wickets.

Tips and strategy

  • Watch the ball, not the clock. Deliveries come at different speeds, so each one needs fresh timing.
  • A scrappy single is better than a wicket. If you are unsure, swing a hair late.
  • Later deliveries are a little quicker, so do not get stuck on one rhythm.
  • Space or Enter works for both bowling and swinging if you prefer the keyboard.

FAQ

How are runs worked out?
By how close your swing is to the exact moment the ball arrives: 6 for the tightest window, then 4, 2 and 1.
How do I get out?
By swinging far too early or letting the ball go by without swinging. Three wickets end the innings.
