Step up. Set your camera. Swing, and now BOWL - for real. Shadow Cricket - You Are Him! is a revolutionary mobile cricket game where your actual body movement controls the game. No tap batting. No swipe bowling. You get up, take stance, and physically play. This is cricket built around real physical action. Master your skills offline, and then take them online to compete against the world! NEW: SHADOW BOWLING (Offline Modes) • Bowl with your body: Play offline matches and tournaments using real bowling motions. Mimic running on the spot for your run-up to generate pace, then rotate your arm to deliver the ball! • Advanced Bowling Physics: Your arm’s tilt at the release point controls the line, and your wrist height controls the length. MASSIVE ONLINE MULTIPLAYER • Public Matchmaking: Enter competitive match rooms, wager your coins, and play winner-takes-all games against players worldwide! (Note: Online bowling currently uses classic touch controls for competitive balance). • Build Your Dream Team: Collect, unlock, and manage a roster of fictional player cards to dominate online matches. • Play With Friends: Create private rooms, generate a unique code, and invite your friends for a 1v1 showdown. • Global Leaderboards: Prove you’re the best. Climb the weekly ranks to see where you stand in your Country, League, and the World. • Daily Rewards & Player Profile: Keep your daily streak alive, upgrade your team in the shop, and track your all-time stats. WHAT MAKES SHADOW CRICKET DIFFERENT? • Real gameplay — use your actual cricket shot and bowling movements to play. • Your body is the controller — no buttons or swipes for core gameplay. • Camera-based ML detection — place your phone, get in frame, and play. Optional on-screen camera feed lets you watch your own form! • Advanced physics engine — every shot and delivery is shaped by how you move. • Skill-based — timing, footing, power, control, and arm-rotation matter! CLASSIC OFFLINE MODES & PRACTICE • Practice Nets: NEW! Jump into the nets to practice your batting and bowling. Includes built-in "How To" video tutorials. • Quick Play: Offline matches for chasing targets or defending totals. • Campaign: Stage-based progression mode. Shadow Cricket reads the quality of your movement, not just a simple gesture. Better swings lead to better shots, and a better run-up leads to a lethal delivery. If you’ve ever wanted a cricket game that feels immersive, physical, and authentic, Shadow Cricket is built for that. You are not pressing buttons. You are playing the game. Shadow Cricket - You Are Him!

Step out. Bat big. RallyCade puts a cricket stadium on your TV and turns your swing into the shot. Prop your iPhone or iPad in landscape below the screen, take your stance and bat. FACE A REAL ATTACK A fast bowler and a spinner share the overs. Read quick bouncers, yorkers and slower balls, then off breaks, leg breaks and the googly. Every ball comes at its own pace, so watch it all the way. TIME YOUR SWING Swing as the ball reaches you. Time it well and it sails over the rope for six. Find the gaps for four, or watch the fielders cut it off. Pick Easy, Medium or Hard, and earn your way to Legend. A NEW CHASE EVERY DAY The daily chase sets a fresh target every day. Beat it, keep your streak going and come back tomorrow for a new one. MORE WAYS TO PLAY Take your country through the RallyCade World Cup: a group stage, a semi-final and a final. Clear the rope as often as you can in a Boundary over. Practise in the Nets with a coach's verdict on every ball. BUILD YOUR CAREER Every innings earns XP and coins. Level up, unlock milestones and spend coins on kits in the Locker. Invite a friend and you both earn a bonus after their first innings. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Create a room and share its code or link. Friends join on their own phones, in the same room or from anywhere. Two of you play one on one: one bats while the other bowls every ball, then swap for the chase. Three or more pick captains and teams, up to eleven a side. A COMMENTATOR ON EVERY BALL A commentator calls every ball as it's hit, tells you why you're out and keeps the chase rate. PLAY ON THE BIG SCREEN Show the stadium on your TV with AirPlay, an HDMI adapter, or Chromecast and Google TV, or play right on your device. Your iPhone or iPad stays below the screen as the camera. TV connections depend on your hardware and local network. FREE EVERY DAY Bat three innings and play two friend matches free every day. RallyCade Unlimited, a monthly or yearly subscription, removes the daily limit. Connect with Apple or Google to take Unlimited and your career to your other devices.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: RallyCade at none against Shadow Cricket AI's shown. RallyCade also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Shadow Cricket AI's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium) and ratings volume (20 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
