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.

Test Your Matching Speed - Play Fast Match

Fast Match is a predominately skill based game that tests your matching speed.  You start with 52 to 80 tiles. You remove matching tiles from the playing field by clicking on a tile and then clicking on a matching tile. Race against the timer to find all the matching tiles and clear the playing field to gain the highest score.

Each of the Fast Match tile patterns contains four of each tile. The difficulty levels range from easy to expert depending on tile count and pattern. With the range of tile patterns, backgrounds, and tile designs, each round of the game is a truly unique and engaging experience.

The game score is calculated based upon how quickly a player selects and removes the matching tiles from the playing field. The timer (on the right of the game screen) counts down, and the faster a match is made the higher the amount of points added to the player's overall game score.

Each tile formation, or layout, requires a slightly different approach, however in general it is always a good tactic to remove tiles that will reveal, or open up, other tiles when possible.

In certain situations, reshuffling the tiles can lead to more harm than good. Choosing to reshuffle the tiles should be a strategic choice where the possibility of locking in needed tiles is not likely with how the tiles are arranged on the playing field.

Balance strategy and speed and keep in mind a strategic approach is required to clear the board, however scoring is based on how fast the tile matches are removed.

Always strive to visualize a few steps ahead while playing to avoid locking in tiles and preventing the ability to clear the entire playing field. Always try to envision the possible moves available could result from each removed pair of tiles.
