In India, playing cricket in a narrow alley, or "gully," often brings more joy than playing on a traditional field. Capturing this unique experience, an indie Indian studio named 5th Ocean Studios has launched their latest cricket game, Gully Gangs: Street Cricket, into Open Beta on Android.
Not Your Typical Cricket Simulator
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket breaks the mold with its 4v4 multiplayer format, set in the bustling, narrow alleys of India. This game marks the debut of a 4v4 street cricket experience, where players encounter rooftop catches, navigate around scooters, and dodge the scolding of nosy uncles warning about broken windows. Adding to the excitement, the game supports 1v1 matches as well.
The gameplay is enhanced with power moves and an interactive voice chat system, allowing players to communicate, taunt opponents, send emojis during matches, and even execute some cheeky strategies. The environments are authentically Indian, featuring live neighborhood action with broken stumps, makeshift pitches, and unpredictable ball bounces off uneven walls.
Customization is a key feature, enabling players to create and personalize their gang with a variety of funky outfits and unlockable skins.

Currently in Open Beta, 5th Ocean Studios is gearing up for a series of updates that will introduce new street maps, additional outfits, regular events, clan wars, and an esports mode. Future enhancements will include leaderboards, daily and weekly challenges, and intense gang vs. gang showdowns.
While the game is exclusively available on Android at the moment, plans are underway to expand to iOS and Steam, with full controller support and cross-platform features on the horizon. Interested players can download Gully Gangs: Street Cricket from the Google Play Store and dive into the action.
