HyperBowl

Be the ball! Enjoy the scenery, but remember to head for the pins!

Roll the ball using AWSD or arrow keys. ESC to  pause. The Mac and Windows versions (on  Steam and the Microsoft Store, see below) can also use a mouse/trackpad to push the ball, but that doesn't seem to work well in the webplayer on this page (and GameJolt). 

On iOS and Android, swipe the screen to roll the ball (pro tip: longer swipes to roll with more force). Pinch to pause on iOS, back button on Android to pause.

The webplayers only include the Classic and Rome lanes, but all six original lanes (Classic, Rome, Forest, High Seas, San Francisco, Tokyo) plus several new ones are included on  Steam,  all the app stores listed below, and the Android download on this page.

The other downloads on this page are of the original Arcade Edition (the version for  Windows 98 to XP, not the version actually  in arcades), no longer supported but  included here  for those who want to try to it on modern PCs. Good luck with that! Old license keys are not included.
