How to play Bowling
On a phone, drag sideways anywhere on the lane to aim and tap anywhere to roll; dragging along the bottom of the lane moves where you stand. With a mouse, click the lane to aim, drag the ball sideways to move it and click the ball or the speed meter to roll. The speed meter keeps moving, and rolling while it is in the purple band gives the cleanest ball. Your ball hooks left once it leaves the oil; flip the hook chip under the meter to hook right when you need to reach a pin on the right. The oil changes every frame: heavy oil hooks less, dry lanes hook more. Strikes need the 1–3 pocket with some angle. Keys: ←/→ aim, A/D move, Q/E hook left/right (H flips), Space rolls.
A tip for your next run
On a dry lane, play a straighter line. Hook right to pick up a 10-pin spare. The purple track shows where your last ball went.
