Bowling Fury: Ten Pin King for Android

If you’re going to attack my wallet at least be clear about. I’m not crazy about spending money to craft, clean and repair my bowling balls only to have to scrap them shortly afterwards. I’ve yet to fully understand the craft and core cards assignment to any particular ball. It’s exhausting to constantly have to keep maintaining your collection of balls many times having your 3-ball active rotation average less than 40% effectiveness. The conventional bowling scoring (League mode) and the well thought out Arcade mode are fun but suffer from the constantly degrading ball. Changes that would have to take place for me to spend another dime: (1) Scrap the ball maintenance nonsense. Sell balls with preset features and then sell Hook, Speed, Power, and Precision upgrades but only if the gamer has met a particular level threshold. (2) The developer’s revenue should be tied to games played not to advance the “pay to win” scramble. (3) Where are Friends Invites? Bots will have to exist in this type of game but I can’t play a friend in an exciting game of High Voltage or Shootout? You can always charge me. If you follow these guidelines you have a true 5-STAR game. If you stay as is you have a freemium nightmare.

PROS: (1) Challenging game mechanics particularly when your 3-Ball rotation has lost some effectiveness. (2) Very fun Arcade games (Shootout & High Voltage) (3) Quick games whether you’re playing Arcade or traditional CONS: (1) Not at all subtle money grab. Repairing and/or cleaning your bowling balls to get even a respectable percentage to take to your next game cost money. Putting up money in Arcade mode to earn tickets for new bowling balls cost money. Buying components to soup up your bowling balls cost money. (2) No Friends invites (3) Appears to be bot-driven with a possible low percentage of humans. I already sunk $20 in this game and with moderate play that might last me a week. You could theoretically stretch your dollars by playing in the no-fee traditional League mode which earns you money if you win but your bowling balls will require more maintenance and if you don’t pay for their upkeep you’ll have a 10% ball that might as well be a marble. The only way I would consider spending anymore money would be if you could invite friends to play.

Seemed fun. Then you realize balls need to be cleaned often- coins to clean. They have health and need to be repaired- gems needed to fix. You have to craft balls- mats which require purchasing. Also in league there are bots designed to beat you to get you to spend. Humans are consistent. Will bowl roughly the same each frame. But some games the opponent will start getting a 4. Then 7 or 8. Then get 2 strikes in the 3rd frame to just beat you. Greedy developers don’t get my time or money. Gameplay was fun, but it’s ruined by everything else. Don’t waste your time

there’s a lot of potential here for being the #1 bowling game on the app store IMO

Another great game by this developer. Loved Darts of Fury and this game is just as good. Keep up the great work. Would love to see more sports games by this developer in the future.
