How to play Bowling
Make Bowling your next activity in the game library. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.
A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. 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.
Controls
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.
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. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Check the rule before repeating the action. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
