The essentials of playing Bowling

Try Bowling at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Look at what changes after your first action. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. 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 small practice goal

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.

Understand the aim

Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Work through the instructions

  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.

Keyboard and screen 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.

Learn from a sample situation

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. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.

Notice this detail

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.
