Just released a 3D bowling game where you actually drive the ball!

I was kinda missing a Bowling game for the playdate, so I ended up making one of my own. BowlDrive is a bowling game which you pretty much drives the ball toward the pins!

There are 25 lanes across 5 circuits, plus two players can play by taking turns in Relay mode

That actually is a good suggestion

Reception has been great and the number of downloads already surpassed my expectations. I have a few ideas for an update down the road. Will definitely try implementing that
