Our take on Bowling Over It
Instead of centering platforming on jumping, this game makes throwing a bowling ball part of the climb. Pin-hitting, gravity changes, a dip in the sea, and classical music shape an ascent that departs from a conventional platforming structure.
What is Bowling Over It?
Bowling Over It is a platforming game about climbing toward the top of the world by throwing a bowling ball.
The challenge includes hitting as many pins as possible in as little time as possible. Hitting all the pins reveals a hidden story. The game also includes a dip in the sea, classical music, changes in gravity, and a gold ball that can be unlocked. Its concept takes inspiration from Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy and Golfing Over It with Alva Majo.
