Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.
Practice with a purpose
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Keep the objective visible.
What counts as success
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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.
The controls to know
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Check any mode label before starting.
See the idea in action
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. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.
A common point of confusion
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
