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.
