Thanks for playing and reviewing! I agree it's too challenging, should have made it easier so players can get carried away.

Oh I get it! "Spare Me" :D
This didn't STRIKE me as an idea, but seeing how many games interpreted the theme for bowling really SPLIT my sides!

Okay enough of that. Fun game. I found the delay between rounds frustratingly slow, and just wanted to get back at dodging. Who are these rowdy teenagers throwing all these balls at once?? I could also have done with smoother movement forwards and backwards.

The bowling alley feel via sound effects was spot on, and the "Nice Spare" losing sound was just so irritating I wanted to show them who's a nice spare :D

Good job!

Thank you for playing! I see that a lot of people didn't enjoy movement forward or backward, but to me it felt fine (maybe because I came up with it and tested the game so many times :D), for the future I'll pay even more attention to the movement :)

The mechanics of dodging the oncoming balls worked well and I like the details you had in there - overall nice job on the game!

Also excellent job with the lighting!

Thank you for playing, I agree that I could have made it more clear on how to move to save some time for players.

Took a couple of rounds before I knew what I was doing and after that it was a lot of fun dodging the balls.

Thanks for playing! I wanted to make a tutorial, but I didn't have any time left.

I felt like the controls were a little awkward with diagonals like some of the other comments. Also, it was a little weird seeing the score at the end of a run by itself say high score when it resets every time. Fun take on the theme and I liked the perspective. I got to like 28 seconds survived before dying.

Thanks for playing! To me the diagonal movement didn't seem that bad, but maybe that's because I played the game a lot of times :D And about the score, I forgot to add that logic, it was a big blunder from my end, I even forgot to add a condition when time runs out... :D
