Nov 29th 2022 16:06 • miklomike • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

This game has been extremely buggy to the point of not being able to play. The advanced functions do nothing but light up, and after trying to select one will not allow any further game action. The game almost had to be abandoned because even refresh did not fix the problem. Finally after trying to use the extra ball to change a dice, and then cancelling it, would the game allow me to continue (the advanced functions never worked once tho).

In every game I have played the bowling ball has only worked to change the dice value about 15% of the time. In the game provided there were many examples, including on the very last turn of the game. I had many balls left and still could not use them. I select the plus or minus button, the game asks me which dice I would like to select, but trying to select either of the dice results in nothing happening. On the turn in question I had numerous balls left and was only off by a value of 1, yet neither dice would allow me to change it.

I really hope you can clean this game up, because of right now it should not even be in Beta.

Hi. Probably you didn't understand the interface, maybe I wasn't able to let it be clear to evweryone.
The advanced functions do nothing but light up: when you crossed out a "gray" pin with second ball the squares to the left of the advanced options flash, you have to cross one of them, this does not activate the ability, if you have crossed all the squares of an ability you can then click on the icon of the ability to activate it.
Extra ball works this way: you have to click on + or - and then click on a die, the die will rotate and change his value by +1 or -1. If you want to use another ball you need to repeat all the sequence.
I can assure you that the game has been tested for long time and it works pretty well.
Watching replay of the game shows I have to put somewhere an explanation of the interface.
I hope this could help you in the next games.

Hello, I know how extra ball works, and I'm telling you that it does not work. I click on plus or minus, it asks me to select which die, and clicking the left die or the right die nothing happens in most circumstances. Only about 15% of the time will it actually change the dice by plus 1 or minus 1.

For example I will roll a 4 and a 4, with pins 3 and 4 left. I select the minus symbol, and try to select the first 4, nothing happens. If I try to select the second 4, nothing happens. I would be more than happy to play a game with you to show you live, what is happening in case you cannot see it from the game replay.

You also did not reply to the fact that the game locked up completely. You can see that we even needed to change to a turn based game to avoid a timeout because the game gets stuck after trying to select anything.

I fixed the flash on title bar, bar really I try +/- ball on mobile (Android) and did not find any issue.
I will try on IPhone and will tell you.
Thank you
