## What is Howzat?

Defend the stumps and build your best innings in Howzat, a cricket arcade game for iPhone.

Hold the control pad and slide to move the bat. Send the ball into wall zones worth 1, 2, 4 or 6 runs. Protect your wicket and avoid being caught at an OUT rail before your shot bounces.

• Learn the controls with a short, hands-on pad lesson.
• Choose left- or right-handed controls, Adaptive or Planted footwork, and a male or female player.
• Face six-ball spells from Spinner, Medium and Fast bowlers, including topspin and backspin variations.
• Play day or floodlit night innings with crowd reactions and milestone celebrations.
• Follow runs, balls, delivery speed, strike rate and your best on the timber scoreboard.
• Explore your local career, recent innings and bowler-by-bowler results on a painted pitch heatmap.
• Compare best-innings runs through optional Game Center rankings.

Adjust the bat size from Settings, including while paused. Recorded cricket sounds and haptics have separate controls, and game audio mixes with your music.

Howzat is free to play and works offline. It has no ads or tracking, and no account is required to play. Optional one-time tips support development and unlock no content or features. Game Center rankings and purchases use Apple’s services.
