Pogo Bowl HD

[Mayhem]

Pogo Bowl HD is now available to play on Pogo!

At long last, one of the most heavily requested Pogo games returns! Pogo Bowl HD brings improved performance and remastered graphics to the multiplayer classic.

Pogo Bowl HD was a huge labor of love for us, and the team worked extra hard to make this game even more special. While the gameplay remains true to the original, Pogo Bowl HD has been updated with beautiful new retro-style graphics and lots of improvements.

What's new:

- New control options! Play with the same controls from the original, or use the new tap-based controls to more carefully aim and control the bowl. You can switch between the two options from the Settings menu.
- Meet Roberto and Trish! They'll show you around the bowling alley and introduce you to the Pogo Bowl HD controls.
- If you need help learning the basics of bowling, the new How to Play guide has you covered. You can find it by pressing the "?" button.
- Club Pogo members can climb the ranks by earning Bowl Points. You earn Bowl Points by knocking down pins, including special gold and silver pins, by winning the Strike It Rich pool, or during the Intermission.
- Club Pogo members get a new Intermission mini-game, where they can earn extra Bowl Points. Free players will see an ad during this time. The Intermission can optionally be disabled when Club Pogo members play together.
- Don't have a Pogo account? Make sure to register for free Pogo to unlock more multiplayer options and chat with other players.

Nice and colorful!
LOL @ your siggy, Mayhem.  Is it new or am I slow?

[Mayhem]

LOL @ your siggy, Mayhem.  Is it new or am I slow?

I've had that one for about a year now 

[Squid]

I've had that one for about a year now 

I think you're trying to tell me I'm slow.  LOL, thanks!

[Mayhem]

Not at all! To be honest, I don't think anyone has noticed it.

I've only had 2 of them - my previous one was : If a person with multiple personalities threatens to commit suicide, is that considered a hostage situation?

[Squid]

didn't you have one about coffee?

[Mayhem]

Oh right .. I seem to remember something about coffee. I don't remember exactly what it was though.

Here is another screenshot of Pogo Bowl HD :

Not if this doesn't get fixed soon:

[S1lent]

Yikes,
My very first ball was a 7-10 split.   
I'll wait for the auto

Not at all! To be honest, I don't think anyone has noticed it.

I noticed it. I thought it was clever.

[Mayhem]

Is it just me or is it harder to bowl in this new version?

[LittleFawn]

There is a bit of a learning curve. I use the classic way to bowl rather then the other.

[Squid]

It's a bit different.  I'll play around with it to find my groove.  I like how you can get a fast ball without being hasty.  Graphics look pretty good.

Buddy is Updated

[Stinkerbell]

The buddy plays well, but I had to change a setting in the game to get it to work.

The buddy says:

Does not play the tutorial
Works with Classic control (Drag to aim) only
Make sure your PogoBowl settings for control is set to Classic
-----

For some reason I always miss the directions on the buddy load screen.

[C~M]

Make sure you play the intermission version because I believe the game rank goes by pins knocked down and you can get about 50 in the intermission.
