How to play Bowling Lane
Bowling Lane is ten-pin bowling with a real pin simulation. Drag sideways to choose where the ball starts, then swipe up: the speed of the swipe sets the power and the bulge in your swipe puts curve on the ball, so you can hook it into the pocket for a strike. A dotted guide shows where the ball will travel.
A full game has ten frames with the standard rules: a strike scores ten plus your next two rolls, a spare ten plus the next roll, and the tenth frame can give you up to three rolls. The score card fills in as you play. Play solo, against a bot on easy, medium or hard, or hand the screen to a friend in two-player mode.
Earn up to three stars on each lane to unlock new lanes with long oil, oil patches, rough boards and a narrow alley, and new balls that are heavier, curvier or faster. If you get stuck you can watch an optional video for an aim guide or to roll your last shot again. Your best scores, stars and settings are saved on your device, and the game runs in the browser with no download and no account.
