Try out the most realistic bowling simulator! The gameplay physics are based on the throws done by real professional bowlers and are extremely close to the real game. The lanes are coated with oil to mimic real conditions. 3 game modes: * Single player * Play with friends (pass-n-play/hot seat) * Play vs computer Each mode has two difficulty levels: Easy mode – you can correct the ball's rotation after you've released the ball. Hard mode – it is not possible to adjust the ball after the throw. There are separate worldwide ratings for every difficulty mode. - Classic 10 pin bowling (10 frames) - Easy-to-manage interface and control - Hook the ball - Amazing Unreal Engine 4 graphics - Detailed track of statistics - Play vs computer mode (computer's skill level is adjustable) - Play vs friends on the same device (2-4 players). Each player can choose his own ball - Ball rotation can be corrected after release (in easy mode) - Independent worldwide ratings for every game mode - 21 bowling balls to choose from - Offline mode - 100% free game How to play: * Set the ball in the selected position * Slide your finger on the screen from the starting line towards the pins (the speed is not important, what matters are the touchpoint and the drop-out). The longer the distance is between the first contact and drop-out, the faster the ball goes. * In Easy mode it is possible to correct the ball's rotation by simply sliding left or right on the screen. Correction magnitude depends on how far the finger moves on screen. * You can also spin the ball. The speed and the rotation are controlled by the HOOK button.

A fun, realistic 3d outdoor deck shuffle board game set in a beautiful tropical resort. How to play: In deck or floor shuffle board, players use a cue, to slide their disks down the court, attempting to land within a marked scoring areas. 1. Press down on disks and swipe up in the direction you want them to go. 2. Swipe farther and faster to push with more power. 3. Try to land in a scoring area or knock out your opponent. The disks are of two colors (yellow and black), each color belonging to a player (you versus the computer). The scoring areas are divided by lines, into six zones: 10, 8, 8, 7, 7, 10-off. After all 8 disks have been played from one end of the court (a frame), the final score values for each player in the scoring zones is assessed: If a disk is completely within a scoring zone without touching (overlapping) any part of the border-line of the zone, it is good and that zone value is added to the correct player's score for the frame, and then to the player's total points. History: Although the origins of shuffleboard are unknown, the game has been played for over 500 years, and was a favorite of King Henry VIII of England, who prohibited commoners from playing.
