How to play Bowling
Choose a round of Bowling and settle into its rules. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.
Try a deliberate move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. 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. Keep the controls in easy reach.
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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. 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. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
