Bat to Beat is a rhythm-based cricket action game that allows players to travel through cricket destinations and bat to unique local beats, which range from “Jamaican one-drop reggae beats to syncopated Bollywood-style beats,” the developers said in a press release.

Batting rhythm requires a player’s rhythm and spatial awareness, and they need to make split-second decisions on every shot to either risk the ball or defend. The game is developed using the Unity engine and features controller support and an original soundtrack.

Baba Black Sheep Games has also released the system requirements for the game on Windows and macOS. A release date for Bat to the Beat has yet to be confirmed, but it is confirmed to be released via Steam later this year.
