## What is VirtuaBowl?

VirtuaBowl is a full 3D tenpin bowling game that supports touch, mouse, keyboard and gamepad inputs.

Real bowling, not a tap-timing minigame.

Line up your stance, pick your angle, curl the ball and read the break as it hooks into the pocket. Every throw runs through real pin physics, so strikes, ringing ten-pins and ugly splits all come from where you actually put the ball — not from a hidden timing bar.

Play with anyone, on anything

Up to 8 players in one game — pass a single device around the couch, or bowl together online
Host a room and let friends join from your list, or join theirs
Voice chat built in, with per-player volume and push-to-talk, so a remote game sounds like a lane next to you
No account needed to play solo
Nine lanes, each with its own atmosphere

Start on Classic Alley, then bowl your way through Back Alley (cobblestones, brick and gaslight), Sunset Alley (neon downtown at night), Campfire Grove, Riviera Lanes (1962, all vinyl and plaster) and Lunar. Premium players also get Cosmic Lanes (1985, blacklight and carpet), Abyssal Reef and Tiki Cove.

Every lane is its own place rather than a reskin: its own palette, lighting and fog, and in several cases its own pin set and its own music. Lanes unlock as you play — at 3, 10, 25, 40 and 60 games — so there is always one more to bowl for.

Controls that suit whatever is in your hands

Touch — drag to place the ball, flick forward to throw, bend the path to hook
Mouse + keyboard — aim with the mouse, hold to charge, drag to curve, Q/E to spin
Gamepad — sticks to line up, trigger to throw, bumpers to hook, one button to change camera

Free to play, one honest upgrade

VirtuaBowl is free and supported by advertising. A single premium purchase removes advertising and unlocks all premium content at once — there is no piecemeal buying and nothing is sold twice. Three of the nine lanes are premium; the other six are free or earned by playing, and no lane is mechanically better than a free one.
