Cricket in the narrow alleys of India, known as "gullies," often brings more excitement than playing on a traditional field. Capturing this unique experience, the indie Indian studio 5th Ocean Studios has launched their latest cricket game, *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket*, into Open Beta on Android.
Not Your Typical Cricket Simulator
*Gully Gangs: Street Cricket* breaks the mold with its 4v4 multiplayer format set in the heart of Indian gullies. This innovative game offers the first-ever 4v4 street cricket experience, complete with rooftop catches, navigating around scooters, and the inevitable scolding from nosy uncles about breaking windows. For those who prefer a more intimate match, a 1v1 mode is also available.
The game elevates the fun with dynamic features like power moves and in-game voice chat, allowing players to communicate, taunt opponents, drop emojis during matches, and even execute some clever tricks. The immersive environment replicates authentic Indian neighborhood settings, where you'll encounter live action around you, from broken stumps and makeshift pitches to unpredictable ball bounces off uneven walls.
Customization is a key aspect of *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket*. Players can create their own gangs, dress them in stylish outfits, and unlock various skins to personalize their team's look.
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket Is Now in Open Beta
5th Ocean Studios has ambitious plans for *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket*, with upcoming updates that include new street maps, fresh outfits, regular events, clan wars, and eventually an esports mode. The game will feature leaderboards, daily and weekly challenges, and thrilling gang vs. gang matchups.
Currently available only on Android, the developers are set to expand to iOS and Steam platforms. They're also working on full controller support and cross-platform features. If you're eager to dive into the action, you can download *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket* from the Google Play Store.
