Playing cricket in the narrow alleys of India, known as "gullies," often brings more excitement than traditional field play. This unique experience has inspired an indie Indian studio, 5th Ocean Studios, to release their latest cricket game, *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket*, into Open Beta on Android.
Not Your Usual Cricket Sim
*Gully Gangs: Street Cricket* is a groundbreaking 4v4 multiplayer game set amidst the bustling Indian gullies. It's the first of its kind, bringing street cricket to life with features like rooftop catches, navigating around scooters, and dodging the shouts of concerned neighbors worried about their windows. For those looking for a more personal challenge, a 1v1 mode is also available.
The game enhances the fun with power moves and real-time voice chat, allowing players to communicate, tease opponents with sledging, drop emojis in the middle of a match, and even execute some sneaky tactics. The immersive environment captures the essence of Indian neighborhoods, complete with live action around you, playing with broken stumps on makeshift pitches, and dealing with unpredictable bounces off uneven walls.
Customization is a key feature, enabling players to build and style their gang with an array of funky outfits and unlockable skins.
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket Is Now in Open Beta
Currently, 5th Ocean Studios is rolling out a series of updates for *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket*, including new street maps, fresh outfits, regular events, clan wars, and the exciting addition of an esports mode. The game will soon feature leaderboards, daily and weekly challenges, and intense gang vs. gang confrontations.
Available now on Android, plans are in place to expand to iOS and Steam, with full controller support and cross-platform play on the horizon. To dive into the action, download *Gully Gangs: Street Cricket* from the Google Play Store.
