If this is the case, this is a major negative for what is otherwise a great bowling game. Hoping the developer will post a note regarding this, and will let us know if he plans to provide an ad removal option.

Think Ill wait to see if that is implemented before downloading this one! After all, I already have a few good bowling games on my devices! shfrost Well-Known Member Apr 9, 2010 432 10 18 Artist Wooded area #6 shfrost, Feb 7, 2018 App closes after each ad. Doesn't seem to read "curve" swipes correctly. Feels somewhat random. Could use tutorial for that. No music toggle? (Pet peeve.) Otherwise, game looks pretty good. Does need tweaking, imo.

I'm encouraged that you only had to wait 4 minutes tbh., imagine how fast it will be once we have >3 players!

If you don't touch the app for several seconds it will show you graphically how to bowl a curve ball with an animating finger. You bowl across the angle of the lane shfrost Well-Known Member Apr 9, 2010 432 10 18 Artist Wooded area #11 shfrost, Feb 8, 2018 Last edited: Feb 8, 2018 If there's a music toggle, it's buried pretty deep. As for the curve ball animation, I saw it, but it takes quite a long time for it to appear. The "straight" ball animation last for quite a while, and I think most people would bypass it before they ever see the "curve" animation. I don't find the curve animation to be very helpful, as there is no way to measure the amount of curve. Simply trial and error. I'd be ok with that if the game's "read" was consistent, but it doesn't seem to be. Maybe it's me. Still, I think some sort of gauge would be helpful. Also, are we not able to angle a shot without using curve? Doesn't seem so. Lastly, the animation itself is just intrusive after you see it the first couple of times. We need the option to shut that off. I do like the game and hope you continue to update. Rubicon Well-Known Member Feb 22, 2011 1,535 1 0 Lead Programmer, Chief Bottlewasher Isle of Wight, UK http://www.rubicondev.com #12 Rubicon, Feb 8, 2018 It kinda is, both music and sfx can be toggled from the ingame menu button but not out in the front end. We're pushing out a patch soon as some of the advert types crash the sound player so I'll get those buttons out in the main menu also. And also reduce the cycle time on the finger, it does go on a bit. Thanks for the feedback shfrost Well-Known Member Apr 9, 2010 432 10 18 Artist Wooded area #13 shfrost, Feb 8, 2018 Crashed after 3rd completed skill shot, similar to post-ad crashes. Prior to this I'd been playing mostly in practice mode. Now I'm getting the pop-up ads. Feeling less enamored but will stick with it a little longer. Grist Well-Known Member Nov 7, 2008 362 25 28 VP of Marketing Massachusetts #14 Grist, Feb 8, 2018 Music can be turned off by tapping the "music" icon that is in the pause menu, which is only available when you are in a bowling match or in practice mode.
