Bowling, but the lane fights back. PayneBrain Bowling is arcade voxel bowling where the pins are only half the fun. Roll a giant ball down lanes full of traffic, pirates, dinosaurs and freight trains, and watch everything you hit crumble into blocks. Wreck things to build your mayhem score and combo multiplier, then finish the job on the pins. PLAY FREE, UNLOCK THE REST ONCE The first two levels (Main Street Mayhem and Pirate's Plunder) are free to play solo in One Shot and Classic, along with the Ball Locker and one game of 100 Pin. The other 17 levels, 2 to 4 player party play and unlimited 100 Pin are part of the FULL GAME, a single one-time in-app purchase. No ads. No subscription. FOUR WAYS TO BOWL ONE SHOT One ball, ten racks, one long lane and no brakes. The ball keeps building speed, every rack scores as a frame, and at the end it explodes and the whole run plays back in rewind. CLASSIC Ten frames, two balls and real scoring: strikes, spares, 10th-frame bonus balls and a perfect 300. Fresh hazards on every roll and slow motion on the big hits. 100 PIN A hundred giant pins, a much wider lane and a wrecking ball to match. Knock down 80 or more with your first ball for a strike, take all 100 for a MEGA STRIKE and chase a perfect 3000. CHALLENGES 20 hand-made One Shot runs, each with a twist: extra hazards, no steering, a gold pin in every rack, a borrowed ball. Earn up to three stars on each one. PARTY PLAY (FULL GAME) Pass-and-play for up to 4 players on one device. Any seat can be a CPU bowler. 19 LEVELS Main Street Mayhem, Pirate's Plunder, Strike Palace, Sugar Rush, Frosty Frames, Dino Canyon, Haunted Hollows, Lunar Lanes, Temple of Strikes, Tumbleweed Town, Amazon Expedition, Railroad Rumble, Cul-de-Sac Chaos and The Spider Den, plus a USA city tour through Miami, San Francisco, Denver, Boston and New York. Every level has its own hazards, from low gravity on the Moon to freight trains you have to jump. 16 BALLS, 11 POWER-UPS Earn coins and fill the Ball Locker: Disco, Cannonball, Dino Egg, Inferno, the Golden Ball and more, each with its own feel. Grab power-ups on the lane: Fireball, Bomb, Magnet, Mega Ball, Multi-Ball, Lightning, Ghost, Freeze, Rocket, Super Curve and Mystery. MISSIONS AND STARS Every game rolls three missions, like wrecking 8 vehicles, hitting a gold pin or landing a x10 combo, and each one pays out coins. Stars unlock new levels, and three master levels open only when you have three stars everywhere else. MADE FOR TOUCH Flick up to bowl and drag to steer. Play in portrait or landscape and pick from six camera views, from Ball Cam to top-down. Brainy the announcer calls every strike, and haptics can be switched off in Settings. Grab a ball, pick a level and do NOT respect the lanes.
