Book Cricket

This game was made for back-benchers! I swear!

When we were in school, the most boring class begged for this game. But only those fortunate to sit right at the back could manage; the rest would play the game with these big, fat textbooks outside of class.

Flip – stop – flip – stop – flip – stop… was all we’d do, and voila! An entire game of cricket, complete with wickets, batsmen, balls would be spread out right through the book.

Flipping pages was never so much fun!

TheGameBox revives this super fun game in the form of Book Cricket. Clean, bright and simple graphics keep the game looking fresh while the easy-peasy yet fun game-play keep you hooked like. no. other!!

Click on the book to start flipping the pages. Click again to stop. The last digit of the page number denotes runs: so, if you stop on page number 34, you score 4 runs; 6 runs if you stop on 56. If you stop on pages ending in 8, you score 1 run; likewise, if you stop on a page ending in 2, you score 2 runs. You lose a Wicket if you stop on a page ending in 0. Simple? Yes! Fun? Yes!!!

Tell us how you like it. Cheers, you guys!

Santa ver 2.011

This year, a new developer, Mayur, joined us a few days before Christmas. Mayur commutes to work and back on a splendid Bullet, the dream mean machine every other guy wants to own. So, when we were planning a game for Christmas this year, all of us put our brains together, and decided to give Santa Claus an upgrade. The sled was out and good ol’ Santa was made to sit on a cool new bike!

Here’s a rough sketch from our maverick artist, Harshal.

But that’s not the only twist!

Santa has attracted several enemies over the years. And they’re all after his gifts… none of them wants Santa to drop them down sleeping chimneys so the children wake up to find them on Christmas morning! From witches to alien spaceships to modern fighter jets, they’re all going at him for the presents. But is Santa one to give in easy? No way!

Santa ver 2.011 dodges these meanies and how! Use your mouse to navigate Santa across the night sky, and cover the max distance possible. And, oh! We might just squeeze in Medals for our rocking performers! Watch this space!

TheGameBox Team wishes you a merry, merry Christmas and happy holidays! Ring in a great new year, you guys!

Here’s a rocking new wallpaper for you!

Cheers!
