Aim, Toss, and Time the Strike

Gulli Dhandha is an arcade interpretation of the traditional South Asian street sport commonly called gilli danda. Use left and right to set the angle, hold Space or the centre touch control to charge the toss, release, then time the next input to strike the airborne wooden gulli. Distance and accuracy build the score across the round, while three lives limit missed attempts.

Read the conditions

Check the wind indicator before choosing an angle and notice any obstacles in the field. Maximum charge is not always best: a controlled toss can create an easier striking moment. Watch the gulli rather than the power meter after release, then press when its path meets the bat.

Controls and safety

Use keyboard or the labelled touch controls, press P to pause, and use Restart round when you want a fresh attempt. This is a casual timing game with no betting, prizes, or real-money rewards.
