NEW: SHADOW BOWLING (Offline Modes) • Bowl with your body: Play offline matches and tournaments using real bowling motions. Mimic running on the spot for your run-up to generate pace, then rotate your arm to deliver the ball! • Advanced Bowling Physics: Your arm’s tilt at the release point controls the line, and your wrist height controls the length. MASSIVE ONLINE MULTIPLAYER • Public Matchmaking: Enter competitive match rooms, wager your coins, and play winner-takes-all games against players worldwide!
