Bowling by Jason Belmonte

I enjoy playing this game every day, but I have encountered a when the screen freezes up after it loads. I’ve taken a screenshot of the screen

This might be the most money-hungry game I’ve ever played. I understand the concept of wagering in-game currency for higher stakes, but the monetization system is absolutely ridiculous. You’re forced to use the same currency to level up your stats and buy new bowling balls, creating a constant drain on your resources. I’m only 26 levels in (out of 90), and it already costs 500,000 coins just to add a single point to a stat. That’s the equivalent of $60 USD for one stat point — and I still have over 60 levels to go! With the cost increasing after every upgrade, it would take either countless hours of grinding or literally thousands of dollars to max out a character. The equipment prices are just as outrageous. Standard bowling balls range from 500,000 coins to a staggering 44 million coins. To put that in perspective, 44 million coins equals $4,400 USD. Who in their right mind would be tempted to spend that much on a mobile game item? And that’s not even mentioning the premium “gold” coins. These are required for branded items like Storm bowling balls. $100 USD gets you enough gold coins for maybe three or four balls, depending on what you want. While you can wager gold coins in matches to earn more, you’re forced to play against real players — and since almost no one seems to be playing, your only realistic option is to drop hundreds of dollars just to own a single branded bowling ball. The game itself is fun, but its monetization strategy is one of the most shamelessly greedy “pay-to-win” systems I’ve ever encountered. It’s a frustrating reminder that even well-designed games can be ruined by excessive cash-grabbing mechanics.

So for last several months I have tried to play the game but it keeps freezing and getting stuck on a screen shot. I have tried to re install I have literally tried everything possible and the game won’t correctly work for me.

Gud game :)

Every time I throw a ball, it is a gutter. Had this bug since I got the game. Please fix this

Great game, the actual bowling itself is pretty realistic. Only issue is bowling clash event, the game always matches me up with people who are nearly level 150 and i lose instantly as well as bots averaging less that 130 shoot 279 against me.

Worst bowling game ever.

add new patterns (pba, junior gold, etc.) and add a room for the element patterns. also put the new balls in the shop rather than making us pay for them if we miss out on the clash.

I have yet to be able to add my Facebook friend on the game, there is no search friends feature (you’d think that’s how you find your friends) and also can’t find a way to share a link or code. The in game share link does not work.

this game is so addictive and i love it. these are things i think yall should add. 1. a loft setting, so you cant really loft consistently so i think you can add a loft button in the setup portion of a ball and set how much you want to loft it so it can be consistent. 2. custom oil patterns, once you get to level 50 or 100 or something like that you could scroll to the end of the patterns in practice and there be a new custom pattern button and have you put all of the measurements/features of the pattern. 3. abralon grit pads and polish to make your ball hook differently, add that button into the setup portion of the arsenal as well as the loft button. 4. live scratch tournaments where you can bowl next to other players and see what they do in real time. 5. different bowling alleys so the back panel isnt the same old bland one with the patterns name but have a cool design or have something like at real bowling alleys. 6. pattern burn mode. in practice have a switch under the pattern that turns on pattern burn makes the pattern wear out and transition over a 3 game series. 7. non pay urethane ball. right now the only urethane ball in the game is a paid ball, if you added the 78U, and made it worth gold or blue tokens in the shop that would be really cool. 8. ball vote. every once in a while have a vote between 3-4 balls that arent in the game and what ever one wins add that ball to the game. 9. different ball layouts. another section you could add to the setup area is a ball layout button and move the pin on your ball to make it do different things. 10. branded shoes, like sst8’s and 3g’s to just spice the game up and have the cool details other games dont. again i love this game and i would love to see these things be added.
