Bangalore Sevens Stars has emerged as India's most popular mobile cricket game, blending realistic gameplay with Indian cricket culture. Developed by Bangalore-based Studio Seven, this game captures the essence of street cricket played across India's neighborhoods.
The game features 7-a-side cricket matches set in iconic Bangalore locations like Cubbon Park, MG Road, and the famous Chinnaswamy Stadium surroundings. Players control customizable characters with unique batting and bowling styles reflecting India's diverse cricketing talent.
The batting interface uses intuitive swipe controls: swipe up for lofted shots, sideways for drives, and down for defensive strokes. Timing is crucial, with a "sweet spot" indicator appearing as the ball approaches.
Advanced players can master 12 different shot types including the helicopter shot, scoop, and reverse sweep. Each batsman has unique attributes affecting power, timing, and shot selection.
Bowlers select from 8 delivery types including yorkers, bouncers, slow balls, and googlies. The power meter determines pace while a directional pad controls line and length. Spin bowlers get additional variation options.
Realistic physics simulate ball movement based on pitch conditions, with dewy evenings affecting grip and swing.
Auto-fielding handles basic catches while players control diving efforts for spectacular saves. The game features dynamic weather with rain interruptions that test strategic decisions.
Match formats include quick 5-over games, full 10-over matches, and the signature "Sevens Challenge" tournament mode.
