A demo and a new price

To start the new year with the best attitude, I cooked up a demo for curious ones to check if they like the game and buy it if they are interested.

To go with that, the game has a new price! ($19.99 to $15.99) Best time to join us!

What's in the Demo?

In this demo, players will be able to create their character and follow the start of the adventure up to the 4th event of the calendar.

Play on quick play as long as you want, on two different bowling alleys:

  • Regent and the Arena ProLane and Arena Pins

  • The Sunny, with the harder surface CHemiCal Crimsonlanes, combines with the CHemiCal double Pins

And 3 patterns:

  • 38Ft Mercury, a medium house shot

  • 45Ft Tupelo, a challenging pattern

  • 32Ft Abaddon, a very short sport pattern

With that, everyone will be able to see how far the game can go on the simulation side and the offer of the engaging story mode!

And enjoy 7 (11 soon) unique bowling alleys, 20 oil patterns, more than 100 customizable bowling balls with unique reactions, and much more.

Note that saves are shared between the demo and the game, so nothing is lost when you do the transition!

Patch 1.11

Along with this demo, a small update makes its entrance:

  • New : All alleys receive small visual updates and optimizations

  • Update: Physics smoother than ever.

  • Fixed : Pin weight not consistent on some events

  • Fixed : Bowler not placed correctly after a fail on the lab

2.0 is coming this month!

This month will be huge for the game, a big update is on its way! The 2.0 will feature 4 new bowling alleys with their own character and very different lanes! More than 20 all-new bowling balls for each brand, 2 new game modes, new events for the career, and more to come. So stay tuned, it may come faster than you think ;)

To give you something to wait for, here's a look at the new alleys:

  • City's4 Brand new low-friction and high-durability Nova starLanes, located at the headquarters of the bowling brand Nova.
  • Winchester : Very old MissTrick wood lanes, but a well-maintained center, experimenting with 12 high-friction and responsive lanes.

  • HiddenLeafBrand new calm bowling alley, modern equipment and 20 Fury proLane design for high scoring!
  • ParksideVery special place, 4 classic CHemiCal crimson lanes have been added to 10 old and used ones. For a total of 14 but each part of this center may give you some surprises with your ball reaction.

Happy new year everyone, 2026 will be a year of bowling success!
