Bowling: learn through an example
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. 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.
Take a closer look while playing
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.
The goal to keep in mind
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Making your moves
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
Using the playing area
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Check any mode label before starting.
An example before you play
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. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A common point of confusion
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
