The objective of a round

The steps to play

  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.

An example to follow

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. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.

A mistake to avoid

Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
