Ten-frame bowling in glowing wireframe. Three taps per throw: lock the swinging aim, the power and the hook, then watch real circle-physics pins scatter.

Play Wireframe Bowl

Free, no sign-up. Keyboard, touch or gamepad.

How to play

  • Space, Up or click: lock aim, then power, then hook.
  • P to pause.

On touch

  • Tap anywhere to lock each moving marker.

Every run starts on the title screen. Pause any time with P or the pause button; calm mode removes flashes and screen shake.

Maker’s note

Standard ten-pin scoring, 300 is perfect. Each seed sets today's lane pull and a hair of pin jitter, so a daily game plays the same lane for everyone. No fail state, about three minutes.
