General Gameplay

Almost everything in Anime Bowling Babes is controlled with the mouse. Once you begin a game, move your mouse around the scene to find "hotspots" ( areas of the screen on which you need to click to activate something. ) When you roll the mouse over a "hotspot" a text indicator at the bottom of the screen will tell you what will happen if you click while the mouse is over there. The main "hotspots" you need to know about are:

Score Monitor ( above the player ) - Clicking on this will pan the camera to the score monitor where you will be able to view the scorecards for all players involved in the current game.
Pins - Clicking on this will pan the camera right down to the pin end of the alley, and allow you to get a better look at exactly how the remaining pins are positioned to help you pick your shot.
Alley - Clicking on the alley allows you to begin your shot.
Quit - Clicking on the X icon in the top right corner of the screen will allow you to quit. You will be prompted if you really want to quit before you actually quit the game, so this will not happen accidentally.

 

Game Modes and Types

Practice

Practice games are for one human player to play alone. You will not face an opponent and your only aim is to get the highest score possible.

Exhibition

Exhibition games are single one-off games. They can involve from one to four players, and the participants may be any combination of human and CPU players.

Tournament

Tournaments are for one human player only. You play against each of the other players in turn, all of which are controlled by the CPU. There are 3 difficulty levels for tournaments: Gold, Silver and Bronze. Each tournament has a special reward available if you can beat all the players and win the tournament.

Challenge

Challenge mode is for one human player only. You are presented with a set of pins in a particular position. You have one shot and only one shot to clear all the remaining pins. At first they will be quite easy to complete, but the most difficult positions will require a lot of skill and a bit of lateral thinking. Completing challenges will reward you by unlocking bonus balls which may be used in all game modes.

Arcade/Simulation Modes

All game variations can be played in either Arcade or Simulation mode. Arcade mode offers increased speed, more violent collisions, explosive special effects and allows you to steer the ball with the mouse after it has been bowled. Simulation mode is much more realistic and is for serious competitive games.
