Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Galaxy Bowling is a surprisingly robust simulation that manages to find the sweet spot between arcade accessibility and realistic physics. Having tested dozens of bowling apps, this one stands out for its variety. It doesn't just give you a standard lane; it offers a dozen different variants, including 'Spare Picker' and 'Multi-ball,' which keep the gameplay fresh long after you've mastered the standard strike.
The spin mechanics are what sell it. By flicking your finger and adding a slight curve to your gesture, you can pull off professional-grade hooks. The space-themed aesthetic is charming, and the ability to unlock dozens of unique balls with different weights and friction coefficients adds a nice progression layer. It’s perfect for quick sessions but deep enough to keep high-score chasers engaged.
Features
11 unique bowling variants
Realistic spin and collision physics
Dozens of unlockable balls
Online and local multiplayer
Tips & Walkthrough
To get more strikes, don't throw the ball straight down the middle. Aim slightly to the right (if right-handed) and flick your finger toward the center 'pocket' to create a hook that drives through the pins.
Gameplays
Switch between standard lanes and the '100 Pin' challenge for total chaos, or practice your accuracy in 'Spare Picker' mode to improve your league stats.

Fantastic
Fri Aug 02 2013 GristThe two new modes introduced with the latest update are a lot of fun, particularly the candlepins mode which has amazingly realistic pin action including dead wood that stays on the lane after your first and second balls. The developer has been improving this game steadily ever since it first came out; it wasn't very impressive then, but it is very good now.
Well,
Sat Nov 03 2012 Seatac33I noticed the "after toss" adjustment too, which does in fact make it difficult to not score well. BUT!!!! Who says you HAVE to manipulate the aim after you toss? Just aim for the pocket and ignore the ability to manipulate! I like this game a lot because the graphics are really very nice, and I love the goal of working towards acquiring all the gorgeous planet balls! They truly are very exquisite, and a worthy goal to aim for. I have tried almost all of the bowling games for the iPad and the iPod, and so far, this has been the best of the bunch. Most all of the rest are lousy....and I do mean REALLY LOUSY! Great job, Jason!!! You have my vote! ((~.~))
Very Addicting Game
Mon Nov 25 2013 Duchess New BrisbaneLove this game it is hard to stop playing. The only complaint that I have is that if you start a game after leaving a previous game unfinished the camera does not face forward. It has a tendency to lock in any direction but forward.
Lacks realism
Sat Nov 03 2012 Bluffmaster.It's an Ok game. Graphics are good but the gameplay is not realistic. When you launch the ball, it feels like its gliding on ice floor. And just a simple swipe on the screen will change the direction of the ball completely AFTER you have launched the ball. That's the spin feature I understand but it's totally unrealistic how much it can change direction. It makes it extremely easy to score strikes every time, and not challenging at all.
Best Bowling App‼️

Wed Aug 28 2013 GkrakrI like the two new modes -- duckpins and candlepins -- and realize the balls are smaller. However, why are the balls smaller in the regular mode, kingpin, and the splits? Is there a reason for it? I can't imagine what it would be. Please make those balls the size they were before.
Lol
Tue Apr 28 2015 Sgoetz1970This game is broken. So it's easy to through a perfect game, and unlock your achievements. After you score so many points, the pins will start to fall. The longer you play, the more pins fall. Before you know it, you are just clearing a path.
LAME.
Sun Nov 04 2012 jmaxmanThis looks beautiful until you start to play. Then it is totally unrealistic in the roll AND in the play. The ball appears to be sliding down the lane. A flick doesn't shift the roll, it just changes the direction of the ball. Finally, why isn't there a button to get back to the main menu on screen during play. I wanted out of A game, but not out of THE game.
