Horrible and terrible game so so so bad. ### 1/5 — Boring *2019-07-31, version 1.7.2* Got to level 40 - couldn’t get past it after 30+ attempts. Probably need to spend money on a better bat to get past this level. That’s something I’m not prepared to do. Deleting game - Bye ! **Developer response:** Thank you for your honest feedback to our game, we appreciate customer reviews as they help us shape current titles along with new projects. Your continued support and engagement allows us to do what we do and keep producing great sports games for all to enjoy. ### 1/5 — Frustrating game *2019-06-02, version 1.7.0* Not great... different outcomes to the same shot and same timing... very frustrating. Ended up deleting the game ### 1/5 — Has potential but ... *2018-10-27, version 1.5.1* This game had potential. Graphics are quite good, concept allows for progression, but the playability is just awful. Play the same shot to similar balls (developer note - that’s “balls” not “bowls”) and one is late and the other early. The direction the ball goes seems to have little to do with the direction of the swipe., eg play a shot to the leg side, and the ball to glanced to the off side. Also, when you play a shot, some red, unreadable text pops up and is removed so quickly you don’t have time to read it. Ultimately, if the playability is not there, it doesn’t matter how good the graphics are. Update. In the end I deleted the game. Too frustrating. There is no skill involved as the cpu decides the course of events not you hitting the ball. Ultimately the “game” is all about you watching adverts constantly and/or buying temporary bats that make you play like Virat Kohli for a couple of games. ### 1/5 — Facing Problem *2018-08-27, version 1.5.0* Not Coming The T20’s....In The Past ,,, ### 1/5 — More ads. *2018-06-23, version 1.4.0* How about longer ads. That pop up more often. 30 second ads are pretty good. Let’s go for one minute. How I love seeing angry bird 2 ads over and over. Also get a out here is a ad. Score a bunch of points while never getting a out. Ball hits player in head. What a catch. **Developer response:** Hi, we've heard what users are saying and have made some changes to how we deliver ads in the 1.5.0 update. Hopefully this improves your experience. Thanks, support@distinctivegames.com ### 1/5 — Fake graphics *2018-03-11, version 1.3.0* All fake graphics ### 2/5 — Need to be better *2020-12-07, version 1.8.0* Game is ok but feel the ability to gain more runs needs to be corrected there are time the batsman have an opportunity to run for 3 runs and games only allows 2 especially when it’s clear the fielder always get the advantage if this is corrected the game will be better it’s a bit frustrating not giving a challenge to the fielder by adding pressure to throw. also allowing a better bat selection and a better cost will allow more competition. ### 2/5 — You have to buy bat to get to next level *2020-11-22, version 1.8.0* I'm at level 112. On this level you have to score 61 Runs in 3 overs. Which is ridiculous. Fast, Spin then medium pace bowler. There is no way you can make this level. Doesn't matter how good you time it. It will say early or late. There won't be any perfect shot to score 20+ runs on Each over. So basically that's it for me. Not gonna buy bats to cross this impossible level 😁 ### 2/5 — Unacheiveable targets makes game uninteresting *2020-05-12, version 1.7.3* Enjoyed the game, it took time to get better as others mentioned same shot gives different results. But level 41, an Unacheiveable target set which stalled the progress and made to lose interest in using the app as anyway we cannot clear the level. Something developer to think about if they want more user base. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cricket app *2018-05-07, version 1.4.0* Like the game , several stages would not keep the score correctly frustrating needed to score 80 runs and actually score over 100 but counter stuck at 50 or 60, would be better to get bats cheaper, overall good game ### 5/5 — Best game *2018-02-28, version 1.3.0* Lovely game ### 3/5 — Paid app doesn’t works with free goodies *2018-05-25, version 1.4.0* After certain level, you definitely have to buy extra bat or life, else you will not be able to complete the level. Worst part is the batsman will not strike at certain balls and get your wicket bowled out. ### 2/5 — Ridiculous *2018-08-10, version 1.5.0* I sm stuck on a level where it is impossible to score runs. The same kind of shot will either be early or late. You have to forcefully buy a bat to clear. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
