Your objective
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.
How a round unfolds
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
The controls to know
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Put the rules into context
A strike followed by 4 and 5 scores 19; a spare followed by 7 scores 17. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
Where a round can go wrong
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
