A small practice goal
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.
Understand the aim
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
How to proceed
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
How to interact with the game
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
See how the rules apply
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. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
Where a round can go wrong
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
