Cricket Hero Bat Game Play Instructions

• Starting the Game
  • Click or tap anywhere on the load screen to begin the game.
    • You can turn sounds on or off by clicking the music button in the lower left corner.
    • Next to the music button there is a button for switching the game’s language between English (UK flag), Portuguese (Portugal flag), and Hindi (India flag).
    • The game welcome screen also shows your most recent score along with your all time best score. These scores are automatically saved in your local web browser.
• Game Details
  • Playing
    • Time the pitch to hit the ball when it is parallel with you.
      • Some balls bounce, others slowly curve, and some are lightning quick fastballs.
    • There is no partial swing or check swing, only swing or no swing.
      • If you miss the ball and are way too early you can swing again.
  • Scoring
    • Each ball you hit is usually worth a point.
      • When a star shows up and you hit you may score 4 points.
      • If you make 10 consecutive hits your batter gets hot and single hits are worth double points while you remain hot & a four can be worth six.
        • The first miss while hot ends the hot streak.
    • Avoid hitting bombs (cost you an out) and eggs (which obfuscate the screen during the next pitch).
    • In some cases coins are pitched. Hitting them adds to your coin total, which can be converted to continues.
  • Pitch Variations
    • The pitch may pitch any of the following: ball, coin, egg, or bomb.
      • Pitches may be fastballs, curveballs, wildly spinning vortex, or bouncing pitches.
    • After 7 pitches the pitcher may pitch on the left or right side of the wicket.
      • One circle will be solid while the other is dashed. Swing on the side of the solid circle.
      • Be sure to swing on the side the pitch appears on by clicking or tapping on that side.
    • Hit balls and coins. Coins do not score points but aid your ability to continue the game.
    • Avoid hitting eggs and bombs.
    • After around 20 screens the camera zooms in, which adjusts the bat timing.
      • From then on the game can periodically zoom in or out.
  • Outs
    • The game starts with 3 lives.
    • If you mistime a ball and it knocks the bail down that is an out.
    • If you swing at a bomb and hit it that ends the game (no matter how many outs you have left).
    • Periodically a player may appear floating in the background. Clicking on that gives you an extra out.
  • End of game options
    • At the end of the game there is a home button to bring up the game’s welcome screen.
    • You can continue your current game if you have 10 or more coins, though a continue is good for only one more out & you can only continue once per game. If you have fewer than 10 coins when the game ends the button will be translucent.
• Game Controls
  • Mouse
    • Click to swing the bat when the timing is correct to hit the ball. Do not hit eggs or bombs.
    • If there are click targets on both sides of the wicket click on the side the pitch is thrown toward.
  • Touchscreen
    • Use your finger like a mouse & tap on the swing target to hit the ball.
• Strategy
  • This game is straightforward, so it is hard to give much strategic advice other than mentioning you should ensure both that what is being pitched is a ball and you have the swing timing correct.
    • The screen in the background shows if the pitch is an egg or a bomb. If neither of these are revealed then the pitch is a ball or a coin you want to swing at.
      • If the pitch is a vortex spin that will also show on the jumbotron.
    • When there is a star if you manage to hit it you can score 4 runs.
  • Extra balls
    • If there is a guy floating in the background try not to click on him unless an egg or a bomb is pitched so you do not end up getting a strike by missing a pitch.
    • If you are at or near your high score and have at least 10 coins you can continue to get an extra out.
  • Restarting
    • If you get off to a bad start you can click the pause button in the upper left corner and restart the game.
