Flick Sixer

About this game

Flick Sixer is a cricket batting timing game where you judge each delivery, flick at the perfect moment, and chase a target with fours and sixes. Play the date-seeded Daily Chase, a 12-ball Free Run, or a no-pressure Relaxed Mode as one of three invented club batters, a pick-up-and-play entry among browser games for timing fans.

How to play

1. Press Daily Chase, Free Run, or Relaxed Mode to start batting.
2. Watch the red ball bowl in from the left toward the batter.
3. Press HIT, tap the pitch, or press Space when the ball is inside the striped timing zone.
4. Dead centre is a six, just off centre is a four, and a decent flick near the edge of the zone is 2 runs.
5. Swing far too early and it is a dot ball; swing after the ball has passed the zone and you are bowled out.
6. Chase the target before your balls or wickets run out. Relaxed Mode has no wickets.

Tips

• Watch the ball type callout: yorkers are quick, spin is slow, and pace sits in between.
• The first ball of a run is slightly more forgiving, so use it to find the rhythm.
• In Relaxed Mode there are no wickets, so learn each delivery type there before the Daily Chase.
• Chasing a big target? A six on the first ball of an over changes the whole equation.
