TRICK BOWLING, A Classic Game with a Twist

"Trick Bowling" is one of the most interesting and challenging Bowling Games to date. The game incorporates the Standard Bowling Pins and 10 pin Pattern that every person is familiar with. However, we have integrated the development of a new timer based scoring system that eliminates the possibility of the traditional restriction that occurs when players tie for first place with scores of 300. The similarity to other bowling games stops there.

During gameplay, there is no limit to how many times a player can roll the bowling ball while attempting to knock down all the pins or until the generous timer runs out. The faster you knock down pins the higher the score. In addition to the standard 10 pin pattern, there are many unique pin formation patterns also included in the game. For example, a pin pattern may be in the shape of an X, an O, or several other interesting and challenging patterns

In addition, the number of pins in a pattern may be greater than the standard of 10 pins. Our system can accommodate upwards of 100 pins in the various patterns available."Trick Bowling" also allows the player to adjust the "POWER" of how the ball is rolled to hard or easy or anywhere in between. This POWER adjustment also impacts the amount of curve from a "little curve" to a "lot of curve" or anywhere in between.

Some pin patterns will have the "gutters" replaced by "SIDE RAILS". This creates the ability within the game to roll bank shots as the ball will bounce off the rail back towards the lane.Each roll the ball is placed at a random position on the lane. The player can move the ball left or right the width of the lane.

There is full ability to change the angle of the ball roll incorporated into the game. For example, player can move the ball to one edge of the lane and roll the ball across the lane to the opposite side. All these different controls are required to manipulate the ball and successfully knock down all the pins as some patterns will have one or more posts on the lane. To knock down pins placed behind the post it is sometimes necessary to roll a curve around the posts or roll a bank shot off the side rails. There are also custom pins to allow the player to customize the game graphics to their preferences. These custom pins have different characteristics. For instance, some are easier to knock down and others harder to knock down than standard bowling pins.

While the rules are simple, roll until all the pins are down or until the timer expires. The faster the pins are knocked down the higher the subsequent score. Curve shots and bank shots have a slight scoring bonus over straight shots. Also, some patterns may be impossible to clear without using a curve or bank shot. All patterns have been tested and can be cleared in the allotted time the strategy is up to you to figure out. There are several good standard bowling games available and our goal is to make bowling more interesting, fun to play, difficult to master, and provide many more hours of entertainment than standard bowling.
