How to play Bowling
Read the aim of Bowling, then make your first move. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Look at what changes after your first action. Read the objective before making your first input. 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.
Notice the feedback
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
A strike followed by 4 and 5 scores 19; a spare followed by 7 scores 17. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
