Puzzle Bowling

[b]puzzle bowling[/b] is a simple bowling-themed sliding game, the only mechanics are stop signs, arrows, and buttons switching arrow direction. while there's nothing wrong with a simple game if done right, there are several things wrong with this one. first, the good stuff, besides the rarely-seen sports theme: separate volume settings, an exit button (has to be mentioned in these beyond lazy times), and many languages for what little text there is, despite the store page saying there's no text or other distractions. the number of levels on its own doesn't mean anything, but if a $1 minimalist puzzler comes with [b]100 levels[/b] and also [b]claims to be endless[/b], typically via random generation, that's usually good enough. in this case, it only takes [b]30 minutes to complete[/b] the levels and there are a few repeats, making the total less than 100, then the game simply starts recycling them in a random order. by that definition every game is endless, because you can start a new game and replay the whole thing an unlimited amount of times. further issues include the lack of level selection, windowed mode (alt+enter only makes a non-resizable window), undo (not that it's necessary for such an easy game) and even level reset. [b]the only way to restart a level, should you need to, is by failing it.[/b] controls are wasd, arrows, and even the mouse works to slide around, but while levels advance automatically, every 5th is an even more braindead bonus level, and you're forced to click on the level complete prompt to continue, keys don't work. and [b]after clicking, you have to click again on the next level for keyboard controls to start working again[/b]. it's a very basic game where even some of the basics aren't present or work properly, so obviously don't bother.
