Game is rigged, once you get up higher in runs it gets you out automatically and you can’t help it. Good idea, horrible execution. Waste of my time, and money. Don’t even bother downloading this game. ### 4/5 — Solid Game, Barely works *2026-02-07, version 1.0.5* Simple fix of fixing the glitch where the start innings button actually works. Just bought Beastmode and can’t even use it half the time. The button goes white on the outside like it’s being pressed and then doesn’t actually take you anywhere. Frustrating! ### 4/5 — Great, but career too short *2026-01-03, version 1.0.5* This is the game I spend hours looking for, with career mode, not too difficult gameplay, and swipe mobile controls, but the only problem is that the careers are too short. I hate having to restart my career every 4 seasons, and there is also a bug where when you complete a career, the next one doesn’t have the upgrade at the start e.g. super slogger - +5 power +1 fitness. Please improve and add more games! ### 1/5 — So unrealistic *2025-11-23, version 1.0.5* Tell me how I’m suppose to beat England in the World Cup semi when they got 720 runs not out which btw is 6 runs a ball every ball for 20 overs ### 3/5 — Good game but issues *2025-08-20, version 1.0.5* The game is good and quite addictive but it’s limiting. It’s too hard, it will decide you’re out randomly making 50 runs quite achievable usually but 100 almost impossible. The AI is mad as well, posting huge scores and as soon as you get into a final or the champions league it’s impossible to win with the scored the other team put up. You can’t improve your team, just yourself. You can’t transfer teams. What really needs to change is the pace you can progress, being able to improve your team and transfer teams, the random outs making it impossible to post a good personal score, and definitely the AI opposition not posting scores of nearly 300 off 20 overs. ### 5/5 — Simple controls, Brilliant game *2025-02-25, version 1.0.5* I’ve been playing this game on and off since it came out 8 years ago. Still fantastic fun with so much to do. Please keep it alive for future iOS firmwares. I assume it’s nearing the end of its life without updates. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2025-02-17, version 1.0.5* i would really like to continue my career instead of having to restart every year or getting beastmode, i think that this game needs you to have time to upgrade your player so that they can perform better and better ### 5/5 — BOWLING GAZZA *2025-01-20, version 1.0.5* Most underrated cricket game ever. I love this game and have had so much fun. To make this game even better please fix the ui ## Frequently asked questions about Smashtastic Cricket ### What kind of gameplay does Smashtastic Cricket offer?
