| How to Bowl |

Bowling Controls

Method 1: Standard

This is the typical control method, suitable for beginners and those used to other sports games which use a bar control system. You can take as long as you like over your shot and this is the recommended control method for beginners. Experienced gamers may wish to use method 2, Tru-Bowl for a quicker, more immediate control method.

After clicking on the alley to begin your shot, you will be prompted to line up your shot, as indicated with the big red arrow. Move the mouse left and right to pick the line your player will take on her run up to bowl. When you are satisfied with this line, click the left mouse button.

The arrow now begins moving left and right, to indicate where the shot will be aimed. When the arrow is facing in the direction you want to aim, quickly click the left mouse button.

Now a power bar will appear in the top right of the screen and begin cycling back and forth. When the bar is where you want it to be, quickly click the left mouse button. If you click when the bar is at it's lowest point, you will bowl a very gentle shot. If you click when the bar is almost full, you will bowl a very hard shot.

Finally the arrow will begin bending back and forth alternately to indicate the amount and direction of spin or bend you can apply to your shot. Wait until the arrow indicates the amount of spin you wish to apply and then quickly click the left mouse button. If you do not wish to apply any spin at all, you may also click the right mouse button to skip this.

Now sit back and watch your babe bowl the shot you just played. Remember that you will be able to steer the ball left and right with the mouse after it has been released if you are playing in Arcade mode. Good luck!

Method 2: Tru-Bowl

This is the advanced control method, and as such, is not recommended for beginners. Experienced gamers will find this method to be much quicker and therefore, if you find the standard control method a little too rigid and slow, this will be the method for you.

After clicking on the alley to begin your shot, you will be prompted to line up your shot, as indicated with the big red arrow. Move the mouse left and right to pick the line your player will take on her run up to bowl. When you are satisfied with this line, click the left mouse button.

Next you will make your shot in one sweep of the mouse. You may take as long as you like at this point to consider your shot. The shot will not begin until you begin holding down the left mouse button. At this time, you may use the right mouse button to display a quick help guide on how to bowl a Tru-Bowl shot.

Once you are ready to bowl your shot, press the left mouse button and - keeping the left mouse button held down, move the mouse forward to give power to your shot. Move the mouse a long way forward for a hard shot and a little way forward for a short shot. At the same time you will be aiming your shot by moving the mouse left and right. After a couple of seconds, or when you release the left mouse button, both power and aim will be "locked" at the current position. At this point you will have a quick opportunity to apply spin or bend to the shot by moving the mouse left or right. After around a second, the spin will be locked too, and the shot will be complete.

Now sit back and watch your babe bowl the shot you just played. Remember that - if you are playing in Arcade Mode - you will be able to steer the ball left and right with the mouse after it has been released. Good luck!
