Bowling: what to know before playing
Start Bowling by looking at the playing area and its controls. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Check the rule that explains your first action. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.
One thing to notice as you play
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.
The objective of a round
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.
The steps to play
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
Keyboard and screen controls
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
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. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.
Keep this in mind
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
