How to play Bowling
Make Bowling your next activity in the game library. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. 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.
Make the controls familiar
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Notice how the game responds to your input.
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. Use the control method described here for this activity. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
A strike followed by 4 and 5 scores 19; a spare followed by 7 scores 17. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
