About Bat to the Beat

Swing your bat to the beat in this cricket-themed rhythm action game.

Think on your feet

Experience a unique twist on rhythm gameplay that challenges your sense of rhythm and spatial awareness. At each beat you have to make a split second decision. Attack and risk getting caught by the fielders. Or defend and let the pressure build up.

Enemy positions and patterns are randomized to make each play-through unique, forcing you to think on your feet.

Travel the world

As you make your way across the cricket-playing world you'll be challenged by the unique grooves of each country - ranging from one-drop reggae beats of Jamaica to syncopated Indian rhythms.

Fight for the top spot

Once you complete the campaign, you'll unlock the ability to compete on leaderboards for each level in the 'timeless test' mode. The longer you survive, the more frenetic the action gets!
