Bowling: from controls to your first round

Make Bowling your next activity in the game library. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the example below to understand a decision. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.

Give this approach a try

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 objective

Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

Follow these playing steps

  1. Set lane position and power.
  2. Roll into the rack.
  3. A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
  4. The tenth can earn bonus rolls.

How your actions work

Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.

One way to understand the rules

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. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Notice this detail

Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Compare the situation with the worked example. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
