The pins don’t fall over like they did in 2, there is barely any pin physics to it. To “HOOK” the ball is an absolute joke. Bring it back like Gutterball 2 and I’ll change my review ### 2/5 — Problem issues *2023-06-29, version 1.3.1* Sometimes I get a strike. Is count for 9 pin down but I saw no pins on the lanes. ### 5/5 — This game is so good 😀😀😀 *2023-05-04, version 1.3.1* The only game I played every day is Gutterball And I am so happy to find a game that matches my hobby.
