Hilarious, but you can spawn new pins literally anywhere and if you spawn them up at the top you can sometimes get the bowling balls to fly, making it very hard for them to knock pins off.

Also, any pins that fall off the side due to physics while setting up pins doesn't cause your needed pins count to go up (so, actively harmful to yourself with no recovery).

Thanks! Hope your game does well in the jam

I got distracted trying to throw all the pins over the edge haha. Great take on the theme!

Cool spin on a classic game, and a fun idea overall.

A very smart idea, I can see this becoming a fun mobile game. Its clean , simple with good sound design and I definitely recommend working more on it post Jam.  

If you do add some NPC bowlers with behaviors and unique balls (aka one shoots more to the left) so you can strategize more. A "Quantum" pin would be cool too. Basically a Pin you can setup in two locations and have it swap between the two location mid round.

hi, how to win?
