About Dandy Rat Cricket Club
DANDY RAT CRICKET CLUB IS ARCADE CRICKET FOR THE UPPER CRUST.
Bat, bowl and field in an easy-to-learn and impossible-to-master setting. Bamboozle your opponents with deceptively deep and engaging tactics, and magical bowling power-ups. Captain your ragtag team of posh rats from obscurity to glory.
Cricket for everyone: Easy to learn, impossible to master
When you pick up Dandy Rat Cricket Club, all you need to know is what a ball is. When you put down Dandy Rat Cricket Club, you will know the difference between a Silly Mid-Off and a Deep Backward Square Leg. Master this and other nonsense to become the next great rat cricketing mind. When you bowl, use supernatural bowling effects and tactics to torture a batter. When batting, time your shot, pick its direction and slog, drive or nibble at it to get your runs. Dandy Rat Cricket Club will lure you in with its simplicity and turn you into a cricket obsessive.
Take your Rat Cricket Club from the gutter to town-wide stardom
Pick your team of well-dressed rats and rise up through the leagues, playing on kitchen floors, snooker tables, parking lots and others, all with different surfaces and strategies. Deal with situations that only a local cricket captain can know: a hungover star bowler, your opening batter having to look after his kids, the groundskeeper forgetting to bring the wickets.
Multiplayer
Taking a wicket is great, but taking your friend’s wicket is divine. Outwit and frustrate your opponent online in multiple formats. Quick after-work 10-over match, or a match so long you’ll be wishing you were playing a 4X instead? The decision is yours.
Author your innings
No two cricketers are alike, and neither are two cricket matches. Choose your batting and bowling style by picking power-ups on a talent tree, and adjust to changing pitches, changing opposition and changing aims. Be a maverick and swing at every ball that comes your way, or wait patiently for the right one. Hurl the ball at a batter’s head quickly to rattle them or starve them of runs with spin and guile.
