Illusion Bowling is all about rolling balls through a world of optical illusion. You have to hit a bowling pin with a ball but it is impossible in the normal world. Only by using new pathways that get created by optical illusions it becomes possible. Your tool for creating the optical illusion pathways is merely changing the view perspective. If two distant platforms look from a certain view angle as if they touch each other then the ball can roll over from one platform to the other, like over a virtual bridge. This way you can create virtual bridges, virtual walls or shift the ball sideways by scratching one platform over another. • 66 levels • No advertisements • No In-App Purchases.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Curvy Throw at Free against Illusion Bowling's $3.99. Curvy Throw also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Illusion Bowling's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (114 vs 5). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
