About the game
Tabby Cat Bowling is a bowling game you play right in your browser, with nothing to download. Token, a cheerful orange tabby cat, waits beside the lane with your ball. Flick it toward the ten pins and watch them tumble.
How you flick decides the throw. A quicker flick rolls a faster ball. The way you point your flick decides where the ball goes. Curve your flick and the ball curves too: it swings out the way your finger bent, then hooks back toward the pins. A ball that comes in at an angle sends the pins flying into each other.
A game is ten frames, with up to two balls a frame. Knock all ten pins down with your first ball for a strike, or with both balls for a spare, and you earn bonus points from your next balls. The tenth frame gives you extra balls after a strike or a spare. A whole game takes about two to three minutes, and the score sheet keeps count for you. Your best score is saved.
For your first two balls of every game, bumpers line the gutters and your aim is pulled halfway to the middle, so every new game starts by knocking pins down. After that the gutters are open.
How to play
- On a phone or tablet: put your finger on the lane near the ball, then flick it up toward the pins and let go.
- On a computer: click near the ball, drag up toward the pins and let go.
- Curve your flick to put spin on the ball.
- Tap while the ball is rolling to skip ahead to the result.
Tips
- A straight flick rolls a straight ball. Aim just to one side of the front pin and curve your flick back toward it for more strikes.
- A very small flick rolls nearly straight and always reaches the pins, but it rarely knocks them all down.
- For a spare, aim at the middle of the pins that are left.
