Relax game, nice!

The same throw has different results (save state tested) that's kind of cool and shitty at the same time.

Mastered!

Bowling games have come a long way! Straight was very difficult and seems luck based to get strikes! Thanks for the set :)

Fun stuff, a bit challenging at first, but once you find the sweet spot 150-200 is easy. Now getting a perfect game... i dont think ill go for that. Definetly easier to get a higher score on Curve/Steer than it is Straight

After testing with save states and a 600 BPM metronome, there's only a single beat interval that the curve will count as a strike for, chosen at random from the launch at an interval of about 4-5 beats. With the beats in the middle seemingly have a higher chance to be the strike.

By far the worst bowling game I have played for the site yet. Or just in general, in fact. Thanks for another masochistic bowling set xD
wizface2137 5 Jun 2024 04:41
Oh, and to add, there are times from the launch where not a single one of the beats within that interval will be a strike as well.

Mastery #13
Mastered a while ago but I'm interested by the comments so I figured I'd retroactively comment. Definitely in the top 3 hardest I mastered.
