Be the ball! Bowl around the richly imaginative six fantasy lanes of the original attraction game: the eerie Classic lane, ancient Rome, an idyllic Forest, rocking High Seas, the streets of San Francisco and the bright night lights of Tokyo. In addition, this licensed remake features several all-new lanes: the Snowpark lane, the Campfire lane, the Penelope lane, the Mushroom lane, and the Grassy Pier. Enjoy the scenery, but remember to head for the pins! Swipe up along the screen to push the bowling ball forward, left and right to roll horizontally, down to push the ball back.  Tips: Sweep along the length of the screen for a more powerful push, and in Settings turn off in-app access to Control Center to avoid activating Control Center when swiping near the bottom of the screen) Play 1-4 players in the original Arcade Mode or quick-play with your Game Center account, featuring a leaderboard for each lane and up to sixteen achievements for completing lanes, consecutive strikes and bowling a perfect game! ***** Reviews on the Web ***** MacLife lists HyperBowl as one of the Greatest iPhone Apps of 2009 - "Sure, there are a lot of bowling games for the iPhone, but none of them match the legacy that HyperBowl has.
