About the Game

Like with "real" bowling, the goal is simple: Hit the Pins!

BOWLOUT is a singleplayer First-Person-Shooter set in a Pin-infested Bowling centre. Use your many, many Bowling Balls to take them out and destroy their leader in this short but satisfying adventure!

FIRE AWAY!

Throw some Bowling Balls... no, I mean LOTS of Bowling Balls!

TOTEMS BEGONE!

These unique enemies summon more pins. Break them ASAP!

FEATURES:

  • To ball or not to ball: Chucking balls affects accuracy - adjust your playstyle carefully.

  • Who you callin' pinhead: Grab pins for powerful melee attacks or a piercing throw.

  • Shower me in medals: Unlock various achievements by playing well... or not so well.

  • My eyes are up here: Obtain and equip different ball colors by unlocking achievements.

  • A master on the sticks: Use a controller to feel it rumble as you shatter groups of pins.

  • All eyes on Deck: While not (yet) verified, BOWLOUT plays great on Steam Deck.

WARNING: Many bowling pins were harmed during the creation of this game!
