# Gully Cricket Arcade

> Free browser-based collection of four Indian cricket mini-games celebrating street cricket nostalgia. No app, no install, no login. Plays on desktop and mobile.

Gully Cricket Arcade (gullycricketarcade.com) is an independent passion project. Single-page web application built with HTML5/CSS/Vanilla JavaScript, deployed on Cloudflare Pages. No backend, no user accounts, no monetization, no advertisements. Scores stored locally in browser localStorage.

The site celebrates Indian gully cricket culture — the lane, the classroom, the lazy Sunday afternoon, the kit-bag stumps, the trick rules. Target audience: cricket fans across India and the diaspora who grew up turning every available space into a stadium.

## Games

- [Pixel Cricket — Clutch Moments](https://gullycricketarcade.com/pixel-cricket.html): Minecraft-styled 3D cricket built on Three.js with 20 hand-authored last-over scenarios from cricket's biggest clutch moments. Pick a shot direction (leg, off, straight, defend), time the swing, manage power-ups (TNT bat, Diamond timing, Shield, Ender), chase the target. 7 bowling styles (yorker, bouncer, slower ball, swing, spin variations).

- [Air Bat Cricket](https://gullycricketarcade.com/#airScreen): Camera-tracked motion cricket. Swing your hand or hold a real bat in front of your webcam to hit incoming balls. Pink ball +1, glow ball +4, gold ball six. Three wickets and you walk back. Mouse/touch fallback included. All camera processing local — nothing recorded or uploaded.

- [Guess the Legend](https://gullycricketarcade.com/#guessScreen): Reveal one of 50 famous Indian cricketers from clues — career era, format specialty, signature shot, famous moment. Type the name to score. Fewer clues used = higher score. Hints unlock after two wrong guesses. Covers Sunil Gavaskar through Bumrah, Kohli, Rohit Sharma.

- [Book Cricket](https://gullycricketarcade.com/#bookScreen): The classic Indian classroom game. Open a book to a random page, last digit of the right-hand page is your run (0 = out). Cricket trivia between overs. High score saved locally.
