Nice idea. I think there could be more depth to gameplay as of right now it kinda gets boring quickly.

Creative idea! Could do with a break between levels. But otherwise I enjoyed trying to keep my pins on the lane

Thank you! <3

Yea, I was imagining having 3D corny videos like they have in bowling alleys between the levels, that could be fun.

Thanks for trying it out !

This is a great idea with a fun execution!

I scored 146, after a solid 0 on level 6 xD

Really good that you can continue after scoring 0 on a level.

Yea level 6 got unintentionally hardcore ':D

I really like this idea! Having the separate pins act as your lives was really cool. Nice job!

Thank you !,

Yea I was really happy about that one too, I originally had the player only control one pin but then I took a shower.. and there is no better place for a brainstorming session ':D
