Batting
Watch the incoming delivery, choose a direction with the arrows and time S for the shot. Hold Shift with S for a lofted attempt. Press D when you want to run and A to cancel; the game’s camera and fielders still determine whether that run is safe.
Bowling
Choose the bowler and delivery in the game. Move the target with the arrows and use S for a stock ball. Other delivery variations depend on the bowler and original game settings; follow the on-screen prompts.
Controller setup
The port includes gamepad input forwarding. Connect a controller, press a button so the browser can see it, then click the game screen and configure it in the game. No physical controller model has been certified in this release. Keyboard controls are the tested option.
Full screen, sound and focus
The player toolbar has Full screen, Mute sound and Keyboard controls. Press Esc to release the mouse before clicking the toolbar. Return to launcher closes the running game, so save first. Read troubleshooting if keys or sound stop responding.
