About Bowling Stars

Bowling Stars is a clean ten-pin game. Ten frames, a lane, a set of balls and a swipe to roll. Direction comes from where you start the swipe and where you release it, and a curve in the swipe adds spin, which is the difference between a seven-pin split and a strike. It plays solo, against the computer or against a friend taking turns.

It is relaxed rather than frantic, and a well-thrown hook feels excellent.

How to Play Bowling Stars

1. Choose your ball and lane.
2. Position the ball with the mouse or your finger.
3. Swipe forward to roll; curve the swipe to add spin.
4. Knock down as many pins as you can across ten frames.

Controls

• Mouse: drag the ball to aim, drag forward and release to roll.
• Curve the drag left or right for spin.
• Touch: the same gesture with a finger.

Tips and Tricks

• Aim at the pocket between the one and three pins, not the head pin square on.
• A little spin from the side of the lane finds the pocket more often than a straight ball from the middle.
• Slow, straight rolls are best for a single-pin spare.
• The lane's arrows are there to aim with; pick one and use it every frame.
