Follow the steps for Bowling

Make Bowling your next activity in the game library. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Look at what changes after your first action. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.

Something to practise

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.

Understand the aim

Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.

Step by step

  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.

How to interact with the game

Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.

An example to follow

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. Keep the controls nearby.

Avoid this misunderstanding

Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
