Little Master Cricket

Little Master Cricket is a skill-based cricket batting game that turns every shot into a physics challenge. Instead of using standard swing buttons, you control the bat directly, which makes timing, angle, and follow-through feel unpredictable in the best way. Each ball is a quick decision: play safe to protect your stumps, or go aggressive and chase a fast score while risking a catch.

The main goal is simple—score runs and stay in—but the way you do it is what makes the game memorable. Hitting the ball into the striped scoring zones rewards you, while sending it into the yellow-and-black danger zones often means you’ll be caught and your innings ends. With ragdoll-like motion and awkward-but-learnable controls, every clean hit feels earned.

How batting works

Every delivery gives you a moment to line up your swing. You’re aiming to meet the ball cleanly and guide it into safe scoring areas while keeping control of where it travels. Bad contact can pop the ball up, slice it behind you, or drop it into a catching zone—so even strong swings need precision.

• Swing the bat to make contact and direct the ball.
• Target striped zones to score safely.
• Avoid yellow-and-black zones, where the ball is more likely to be caught.
• Defend your stumps by prioritizing contact over risky angles.

What makes Little Master Cricket different

Little Master Cricket blends classic cricket concepts with a unique control scheme and physics-driven outcomes. It feels more like mastering a tool than memorizing button combos, which is why it’s often described as challenging but addictive.

Key mechanics you’ll notice fast

• Direct bat control: Your swing path matters, and small adjustments can change the ball’s direction dramatically.
• Physics-based hits: Off-center contact leads to deflections, lobs, and awkward edges.
• Risk vs reward: Defensive play keeps you alive, while aggressive shots can build a quick score but increase catch chances.
• Concentration gameplay: Mistakes happen when you rush, over-swing, or lose track of danger zones.

Tips to score more and get out less

• Start defensive, then open up: In early balls, focus on clean contact and learning how the bat responds.
• Aim low and controlled: High, floaty shots tend to drift into catching zones.
• Use smaller swings: Overcommitting can send the ball straight into danger even if you time it well.
• Watch your follow-through: The bat’s finishing angle affects where the ball goes after contact.
• Protect the stumps first: A safe block is better than a risky swing when the ball is close.

Platform and controls

Little Master Cricket runs directly in your web browser and is designed for quick sessions—one more attempt is always tempting. Because the control scheme relies on precise movement, it typically feels best on a larger screen with a mouse or trackpad, but it may also be playable on some touch devices depending on your setup.

Yes. Defensive play is a core strategy—focus on protecting your stumps and making safe contact, then take bigger risks once you feel confident.

Who made Little Master Cricket?

Little Master Cricket was created by Bennett Foddy, known for making skill-based games with unconventional controls.

Is Little Master Cricket playable on mobile?
