Cricket Goalkeeper Challenge

Cricket Goalkeeper Challenge is a fast-paced arcade experience built around precision, timing, and reactive gameplay. The player controls a movable object on a horizontal field, defending their goal while attempting to score against an AI opponent under clear and structured rules.

The playfield is divided into two halves, each assigned to one participant. The player and the AI cannot cross into each other's territory, maintaining a consistent and predictable interaction zone. A ball moves across the field, and the player must intercept it using their controlled object to prevent goals and redirect it strategically.

Each session begins with the player having five lives, representing the number of goals they can concede. Every time the ball enters the player’s goal, one life is lost. When all lives are depleted, the session ends. After each goal, the ball respawns in the center of the field and immediately travels toward the side that conceded, maintaining continuous flow.

Throughout the session, two values are tracked: the duration of the round and the number of successful goals scored by the player. These results are stored in records upon completion, forming a measurable history of performance.

Cricket Goalkeeper Challenge ensures uninterrupted gameplay through system-aware behavior. When the application is minimized or the user switches context, the game automatically pauses and displays a pause dialog. Upon returning, the player must manually resume, preserving the exact state of the session.

All interface dialogs temporarily disable interaction with gameplay elements, ensuring no unintended inputs occur. Multi-touch conflicts and overlapping dialog windows are prevented, maintaining a stable and controlled user experience.

Cricket Goalkeeper Challenge focuses on clarity of mechanics, responsive controls, and consistent session tracking, offering a structured environment where performance depends entirely on player reaction and decision-making.
