How to play § HOUSE RULES
Camera mode: Step back so your whole upper body is visible. Raise your hand or arm — the bat tracks your arm movement, not your face. Swing sideways to hit. Mouse/touch: drag across the canvas. Pink balls +1, glow +4, gold +6. Miss a ball or lose three wickets and you're out.

Your hand is the bat.

Air Bat Cricket uses your camera only to detect movement for gameplay. Nothing is recorded, uploaded, or stored. Everything runs locally in your browser. No camera? Mouse and touch work too.
