The game is essentially a more arcadey version of Bowling. Each character has a different weight and center of gravity so, bigger and stockier pins are more difficult to knockdown as opposed to the tiny ones. Rather than motion controls, the game is controlled through the gamepad held vertically. The gamepad screen is an overhead view while the TV screen shows down the lane. The mode is controlled by swiping on the gamepad and the ball will head in that direction. As the ball is in motion, tilting the gamepad will affect its path.
