What counts as success

Complete ten frames and maximise the score. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Making your moves

  1. Set lane position and power.
  2. Roll into the rack.
  3. A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
  4. The tenth can earn bonus rolls.

The controls to know

Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.

One way to understand the rules

A strike followed by rolls of 4 and 5 makes the strike frame worth 19. An ordinary frame of 4 and 5 is worth 9. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.

Pay attention to this rule

Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
