Contact Strike Ten Pin Bowling Support

by Not Well Adjusted

Added to a previous review for which the developers must have removed because they didn’t like the review. This app has gotten much worse over the years. It used to be pocket shots were strikes. Now, sometimes the ball bounces and results in splits. Some weird splits. Pocket shot strikes that result in splits do not make for a realistic game as the developers claim. After a 2 year break from updates the game was finally updated a few days ago. Not sure where the alleged bug fixes were, but not with the issue I speak of. As a software engineer we always try to make an app or a game better over time, not worse. These guys don’t subscribe to that belief apparently. I certainly will never spend another dime on a game that gets so little care and whe it does it gets worse.

I used this game to help me practice,But uninstalled bc the pin and bowling ball reactions are inconsistent. For starters, the pin reactions are too wild. Pins normally do not jump in the air when you hit them, unless you’re throwing a 16 pound ball with power. Nor do they typically spin around when hit. Also, there are no choices of weight when selecting a bowling ball. The pin reaction is more like that of an 8 pound ball and the game leaves a lot of splits no matter what ball you use. This needs to change. The graphics are good, but for some reason there are no pinsetters, and no guard comes down when you make your first throw. These should be added to give the game a more natural look. Thanks for ruining a once good game.

This is the most frustrating game on the App Store. Apple needs to allow zero stars to be an option. The game has to be restarted about every second or third game because the controller characteristics change as the game is being played. I play numerous other accelerometer-based games on the App Store and don’t have this issue. There is some form hysteresis taking place. If the programmer/developer would study this issue and correct it, I would increase my rating substantially because the game is otherwise a nice game. However, no matter how good a game is generally, it is awful if the player has to constantly restart it.
