Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.
A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Step by step
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
Controls
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.
A useful 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. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
