Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.
Practice beyond the first move
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. The example below illustrates a decision.
Work through the instructions
- 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. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
Avoid this misunderstanding
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.
