About Bowling Stars
Bowling Stars keeps the familiar rules of bowling and wraps them in a quick, friendly package. On each turn, a single swipe decides where the ball heads and how much it curves, and then you watch it roll toward the pins.
Matches are played against opponents who become more skilled as you progress. Winning earns trophies, and trophies unlock stronger bowling balls that help you keep pace with tougher competition. Upgrading your ball is a big part of the game, so it pays to keep winning. The rules need no explaining, and a full game does not take long.
How to play Bowling Stars
- Swipe or drag - set the direction of your throw
- Curved swipe - add spin to the ball
Playing Bowling Stars on a computer
Once you have clicked Play now and PLAY, and any short ad has finished, you bowl with the mouse. Click and drag along the lane to set the ball's path, and bend the drag into a curve for spin. A straight, centered line is a reliable first ball; save curved throws for spares near the gutters. Wins earn trophies that unlock stronger balls.
Playing Bowling Stars on a phone or tablet
Swiping is the native control, so Bowling Stars feels natural on a phone. Draw your finger along the lane to aim, and curve the swipe to make the ball hook. If the lane looks cramped, try rotating the phone. Slow, smooth swipes usually give more predictable throws than quick flicks. Tap the X at the upper right when you are ready to leave the lanes.
Tips and tricks
- Aim slightly off center and let the curve carry the ball into the pins.
- Upgrade your ball before facing stronger opponents.
- Keep swipes smooth, since jerky movements make throws harder to control.
