Dandy Rat Cricket Club mixes cricket with rodent athletes
Dandy Rat Cricket Club is a game about rats participating in cricket matches. Players use thumbsticks to time and aim swings, earning points, with cards that alter gameplay. It is currently available for playtesting on Steam.
Dandy Rat Cricket Club puts rat athletes into cricket matches. Each round starts with visible rat stats. Players wait for the ball, then use thumbsticks to swing, time contact, and line up the shot. Points reflect how well the hit is performed.
Later rounds add cards that alter play, sometimes interfering with the opposing team or changing how hits work. The game appeared at Brilliant Indie Treasures and can currently be playtested on Steam. Its strange art and mix of British cricket culture with rats make it feel strongly independent.
This curiosity may appeal to players seeking unconventional sports games, rodent fans, and indie audiences. Its simple swing-and-score loop could make cricket more approachable to newcomers, while cards may add replay value. If playtesting feedback is positive, it might encourage more small teams to blend niche sports with absurd themes. Its impact likely remains modest, centered on Steam users and event-goers rather than broad cultural change.
