HyperBowl Game Reviews

Just like how I remembered it! And no ads!. First off, I can’t believe this game is free and contains no ads. I would have easily paid money for this game. The ball seems a little slower than I remember, but doesn’t really affect my enjoyment. I found this by accident and was super nostalgic for me.

The best game EVER! Buy it now!. I love it!!!!

nice to kill time. it's just nice game to kill time. graphics is good.

great app. i love this game

Pretty decent. Fun game with interesting control mechanics. The graphics could use a little more polish (I'm playing this on my iPad). All in all, I would recommend getting this game.

Skins for bowling ball. Love this game😁👍.But is there any possible way that you can add all the different colors and patterns for the bowling balls that were on the pc and other platforms. Instead of there just being 3 that are pretty simple. Would really appreciate it since I don’t have a pc anymore. Thanks🙂.

very enjoyable. Hugely enjoyable game, well worth buying

Nostalgic, Almost perfect. I remember playing this via the Plus! version and later the Arcade Edition port. Seeing it on the App Store recreated with Unity is a real treat. The game is great, but it could be subtly improved with some tweaks. I’d suggest adding in a future update 1. a host of iPad related fixes. Add trackpad and keyboard support (it has been made possible with iPadOS 14 to implement this in games) and 120FPS mode for iPad Pros. 2. Add dynamic shadows on more maps like San Francisco and Tokyo. 3. Tweak High Seas. The original game had strong rocking on the ship, but this port tones it down to the point where it rarely ever helps or hinders you. There’s also a strange bumpy part of the ship that wasn’t present in the original but can really screw up a shot at the pins. There’s also a bug where trying to review the game within the app makes the text in the popup review window invisible.

Funny but buggy. Its a funny game but sometimes the ball freezes and you have to restart.

Accidental pause is tedious. Everyone is suggesting changes to this game...which is over 10 years old and EXACTLY like the arcade original, (so get over it people). As for the freezing issue, I completely shut off my iPod Touch and rebooted and it's never frozen up once since. The only APPLE related change I would make is to move the location of the PAUSE feature. It gets in the way of gameplay swiping of the ball. 5 stars from me otherwise.

The BEST!. Fantastic game,amazing dev who updates the game constantly! I cannot recommend this enough!

Wow..... It has so many bugs it freezes! and why only hd devices get Tokyo and San fransicso? Don't you find that unfair if we all pay $2.99 for a game that freezes all the time, and you still don't get tokyo and San fransicso? Fun at times.... but really freakin slow

Horrible. I want my money back. You can't get the ball to go faster than a snails pace and it has to be pushed all the way down. Save your money!

Good Program. I never had the opportunity to play hyper bowl on the computer other than the displays at electronic stores. I have enjoyed the game greatly. The newest update adds another lane, which is very appreciated. I hope they will add the remaining two in the near future. Definitely worth the price for someone who likes bowling with a twist. For those who don't know what hyper bowl is, it is bowling where you "are" the ball, the lanes are nonlinear, with pitfalls and unique paths, you roll the ball up to the pins and it rolls the last couple of feet. Love it, good graphics, fun bowling, would buy again.

So many updates. Not that I'm unappreciative, but this game has to have the most frequent minor updates that I really don't see on the surface.

Great graphics and great fun!. This game has what I like: great graphics and engaging gameplay. I like how the different bowling courses work. Looking forward to more HyperBowling...

Hyperbowl. LOVE this game! The graphics are fab, best one by far!

Fun, but........ It's fun, but it needs to be updated cuz there isn't tokyo or San Francisco... or any other lanes, all it has is the boat, forest, classic, and Rome.... There's like 6 others. If it had all lanes, it would have 5 stars....

Thanks for the memories... A full five stars when we can get the ball to roll faster. I've seen others with the same issue and I'm confident this is being addressed. I love the graphics and it brings back lots of fun memories of working towards that perfect score - years ago. Still a great game, but just needs to move a bit faster. Looking forward to the update and thanks for keeping this game alive. Running on iPad II.

Amazing Game!. This game I played when I was going through hard times back then. It helped me relax and just have fun. I use to find so much joy when I found a new PC that had this game on it. Whoever made this for Mobile play thank you so much. Truly amazing and a job well done.

Cannot exit the game. Why are developers writing games with no way to exit the game without doing a hard reset. Is it to get customers to order more? For me it is just steering me away from Apple.

Nice game.... Really nice bowl. You never seen before..

High Seas for iPad only?!?!. I do wish they would put High Seas for iPhone/iPod touch (besides they put High Seas on iPad) only:(, but why the heck only for iPad?! I'm not getting an iPad for no matter what! But, how do I unlock the High Seas level? Anyway, this is a great game with all lanes:)

Huge fan. I used to play Hyperbowl on my PC as a kid...amazing as it was, I grew out of it but no longer could find the CD ROM recently to play it again. Last I played it was about 9 years ago. I’m actually really happy there this game is now an app! Brings back many memories!

Amazing. Great game 10/10

Exellent port!. Used to play this game many years ago on PC and had a blast. As for the iOS app, I’m happy to say that this port does the game justice. It runs smoothly and its touch-based controls work very well.

. I don't know what that guy is talking about, but this runs perfectly on my iPhone original.

A great IPad Version of Hyperbowl. If you have ever played Hyperbowl at Dave-n-Busters, or any place else, you will enjoy this App. It is an excellent version of the game for the IPad user, and much easier on the arms.

Not disappointingly, like the original but with a couple issues. As a fan of the original Hyperbowl I have been quite pleased with this port-everything in the original and a little more is here and it plays very well on my iPod Touch 4G with no frame rate or stability issues, but on a couple of stages-namely the snowpack-there are some scoring glitches, oftentimes it doesn't give you the correct score for each shot. It also doesn't tell you that you can't get some achievements by bowling 3 strikes in a row if you only do it in the 10th frame. Other than that, no complaints, a near-perfect port of the arcade classic, all that's missing is the bowling ball control. I only give it 4 stars because of the scoring issues on snowpack, I'll give it 5 stars when/if it's fixed.

Good !!. Nice concept game with nicely graphics/sounds, simple controls and Game Center support - 7 Leaderboards and 16 Achievements.

About HyperBowl App Video Game For My Apple iPhone 4 32GB. I Been Had HyperBowl on My Apple iPhone 4 32GB & I Love Playing The HyperBowl Game & I Hope you make it soon for The Apple iMac Computer? I Would Love to see it on The Apple Mac App Store Someday so I Enjoy Playing HyperBowl on My Apple iPhone 4 32GB & My Service is Verizon Wireless from your Costumer Byron.

Not as fun as the original (v 2.0). A good try but winds up short. Graphics are good but could be better. And what's with the pins??? When your ball hits, there is no impact sound, the pins fall limply down like wet noodles and do not impact each other. There is also no type of settings menu or any way to stop playing or switch lanes once you have started a game.

Wowwy. Soooo good I like

Entertaining. Entertaining game that I enjoy playing.

Such a rip off!. When I was 3 I LOVED hyperbowl. But than when windows vista started in 2007 they had to discontinue the arcade edition. And than when I got my iPad and found this app while looking for a bowling app I was super excited. And then when I downloaded it,poop. It was nothing like it. Here are the things: 1. Tokyo vehicles. When I played on the Tokyo lane there were only cars on the bridge. And then when you go down to the city part it's kind of weird how there are no cars there in the main big part of the lane and yet all the sounds are still there it's just really unrealistic. 2. They added a new lane. Do you really need to add a new lane? I just think its rude to do that to a classic game. And if you want to add a new lane at least put some sound and effort to it. 3. San Francisco. Everything in this lane is horrible it is probably the worst lane in the game (well lets face it there all have no effort in them) the trolley cars are only going one direction and they don't bounce whenever you crash into them (it's the same thing with Tokyo cars) and the hill is way to hard to get up. 4. Scoring problems. PUT IN MORE EFFORT!!!!!!! -Zane kirk@kirkclyatt's son

Needs a few things. I like this collection of 4 different fantasy lanes: A few things are needed though. There is no shadow under the ball. At the smooth framerate, I know adding a shadow is a piece of cake. UPDATE: I HAVE A WIDGET VERSION OF THIS GAME. THE WIDGET VERSION FEATURES FULL SHADOWS, LIKE A BALL SHADOW AND PIN SHADOWS. COME ON GUYS, A WIDGET GAME LOOKS BETTER THAN AN IPAD GAME? Also, please bring the color in the icon to the icon on the springboard. The current black and white icon looks very generic. I also wish there was a mode where you can swipe the ball one time and steer it down the lane. Instead, you must keep swiping and swiping. I think both modes would be fun.

Disappointingly, *just like* the original. I remember playing this at Jillian's over a decade ago (before Dave & Busters bought it and gave me all the incentive to stop going to the arcade), and having a blast. Unfortunately, time hasn't been kind to Hyperbowl. While I understand the need to cash-in on the whole "retro" craze, I'm disappointed that the developer/publisher chose not to update the woefully inadequate graphics textures and object geometry to provide a much-needed facelift. Graphics chips and CPUs are substantially better than they were when this games was originally created over a decade ago, and RAM is also dirt cheap (unless Apple's providing it, but I digress...). Beef up the graphics, clean up the stray pixels, and produce some additional tables (free or .99 each) and sales of this game would likely increase dramatically.

good. It's good to play

Memories!. Not much else to say, great game, graphics were amazing at the time!

Nice Game. It's fantastic, brings lots of fun when playing.

Good not the best. Its OK

HyperBowl. How do you open the two additional lanes? I am playing in an IPad.

good game. goood

Crazy Fun. This takes bowling in a weird and humorous direction. Yes, it’s challenging on the expert levels.

Love forever. I’m 27 as of 2023, I grew up playing this on our old dell desktop from 2002, such nostalgia and love. My father got me into this game, he passed away awhile ago, even just playing this makes me think of him.

Close but needs improvement. HyperBowl was one of the few bowling games I really enjoyed due to the way the physics worked. This version comes close to duplicating the PC version but needs several things added to improve it. First, there is no way to exit a game once started. It needs a menu option to save or end a game. Next, the graphics are slow. I have a 3GS iPhone and if a game runs slow on it, then it will be worse on previous generations of the iPhone. Another thing is that it appeared to me that the game configuration menu was missing even though you can select it. Maybe it's working as designed but I couldn't tell. Fix these things and it'll be a much better game.

Need improvements. Graphics are fair compared to the screenshots in the iTunes Store. Made several strikes, but the game says I knocked 9 pins down.

good game. This game awesome

good game. fun game

Hyper bowl. I like this game but I can’t say it is my favorite. It is very tricky but fun. I love to overcome obstacles and this game has obstacles. It can be nerve racking when l play this against another player but l like competing. Sincerely ,Azja.

UPDATED REVIEW: Lots to investigate.. Review updated from 3* to 4* due to: DEVELOPER RESPONSE on 12/10/2020... That is the kind of {necessary} info the game needed in a ‘history/controls’ tutorial section of the app; just one or two panels more of info will suffice like this: “... the game is an authentic port from a Sony Metreon arcade attraction in the 1990’s using a traditional {bowling ball as a} trackball.” • The controls mimic the push/action of scrolling a trackball by scrolling the {imaginary} bowling ball/trackball by sliding your finger ‘up-the-screen’. • Note: The bowling ball can be pushed multiple times to change direction and/or speed while rolling. • Enjoy this authentic arcade port featuring the original arcade graphics from 1999.” Thank you for the history on the game. PREVIOUS REVIEW 12/09/2020: (3-Stars) Simple enough game. Controls are intriguing... scored 109 in my first game not knowing what I was doing. Could have a better “introductory” tutorial on controls.

Great fun. Best bowling app out there IMO. Well worth the price of admission.

Ok. Needs to have some bugs fixed.

New lanes for ipad only?????. WTF, That was a bad move and extremely dumb. I was looking forward to playing high seas. But low and behold, for ipad only because of perfermance reasons. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME unless u plan to buy a ipad. Way to go fugu, way to completely ruin the fun for the rest of us who have iPhone/iPod touch 

good game. goood

Love the game, but…. Needs an Android update. No longer works on the platform.

good. fun game.
