One of the most awaiting updates, ‘Public Beta for Online PvP’ is now available



Hello Players,
We're very excited to share that Public Beta for Online PvP is now available on Steam. Play with your friends & relish your childhood memories.

Now you can access both Local & Online PvP from the dressing room in the Public Beta branch.
Check-out how to switch to Beta Branch on Steam: https://discordapp.com/channels/762605669332287508/788994124862193694/789091491087122452

After choosing PvP from the dressing room, remove your headset & click on 'CREATE ROOM' on the desktop to access Online PvP. Also, you can press F7 & access PvP directly from desktop.




Once you click on Create Room, you can select the bowling level, size of the bat shield, stadium, overs, etc & create a match.




Copy the ‘ROOM ID’ & share it with the Remote Player. He can enter the code in the input box 'ENTER ROOM ID' & join the room.



Similar to local PvP, you can select from any of the given bowlers and start the over. You will be given 15 seconds to choose a bowler.




Strategize the Bowling & Fielding



To make it more exciting, we have introduced the concept of Efforts(e) in bowling. For the line & length you select to bowl, you need to spend some efforts. If you want to bowl a special-ball, you need to spend some efforts. These efforts will reset at the start of each over. So with the available efforts, you need to choose wisely, strategize, and bowl. Also, you can choose from the predefined fieldsets to strategize the fielding. You will be given 15 seconds for each delivery to choose from the different options available and bowl.

In this Beta version, currently within PvP if you exit the match, you won't be able to resume it, you need to start a new match. Also, players from the same region only can join the room & enjoy Online PvP.

If you encounter any issues, please do inform us on "beta-feedback" channel of discord.
Your feedback will be vital in improvising the beta version of Online PvP.
