How to play Bowling

Start Bowling by looking at the playing area and its controls. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the example below to understand a decision. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.

A focus for your next round

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.

Understand the aim

Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.

A walkthrough of the rules

  1. Set lane position and power.
  2. Roll into the rack.
  3. A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
  4. The tenth can earn bonus rolls.

Your inputs

Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.

A closer look at one example

A strike followed by rolls of 4 and 5 makes the strike frame worth 19. An ordinary frame of 4 and 5 is worth 9. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.

Watch out for this

Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
