I did manage to figure out how to trigure the ball, just pull back on the mouse. It may not work with a trackpad unfortunately however overall i'm dissapointed in this game. You are limited to only 3 lanes. You have to buy the full version in order to be able to go through all 10. So, very dissapointing. I don't think the full version would be worth the cash anyway.

I really like the visual opponent phasing in and out of the lane when it is her turn to bowl, a nice touch, it makes you feel someone is there playing with you, and you can absolutely control the ball, guide and spin, and/or change the color and weight of it. Camera tracking on the ball is nice too. The music is cool and plays only after the game total, which does not interfere with the enjoyment of it at all. You can turn the music off in the preferences. Also the adjacent lanes are animated in the peripheral, also a nice touch. I think this is a good game, and not worthy of the low ratings here.

Horrible bowling game that redefines the term ''lite'', you're allowed to play only 3 frames of a game. Besides that, the controls make it impossible to control the ball, and the graphics/sound would have been embarassing 20 yrs. ago…..not even worth the download. If you want to see how a free bowling game should look, check out Gutterball.

I'd say more but I think the headline covers it!.
