Elf bowling 3 game

This is a game that originally dates back to over two decades ago! As the name of the game suggests, this is a Bowling game, but there is actually a story running through this game. The story is that the elves have gone on strike they must have a pretty good union and as Christmas is coming, Santa is super mad.

To blow off some steam and perhaps show these pesky elves who is boss, Santa is using them as bowling pins. One of the most surprising things for me about Elf Bowling was how much personality it has. You would be forgiven for thinking that this would be a barebones kind of game in terms of its presentation. I am happy to say that they went that extra mile and there are many touches that will certainly make you smile. The way Santa wears a bowling shirt is pretty damn funny if you ask me.

To advance to each new level you must hit at least two bulls- eyes. It won't be easy. The reindeer are out of control and flying frantically across the sky.

If you hit one, they will knock you back: down to earth. Watch out for Polar Bears, too. If you land too close to one they will eat your elf for breakfast.

It is also the way the elves behave and the fact that things like reindeer will dart across the lane that really give the game a lot of personality. Once you strip back the strange story and the charming Christmas presentation. What you have with Elf Bowling is, well it is a bowling game.

The game is played with a meter-based system like most other bowling games. You select where you want Santa to bowl from, then you adjust your power and curve and hope for the best.

To bowl in Elf Bowling only requires pressing either the space bar or clicking with your mouse, the path of your ball determined by a row of arrows that light up in sequence from left to right and back again over and over. With incredible regularity this will clear all the elves in the set, making the challenge of the game about just doing this consistently.

That does not, however, make the bowling any better, and Elf Bowling actually includes some deliberate attempts to prevent enjoying it purely as a bowling game.

Perhaps the most egregious feature of Elf Bowling is that no matter how perfectly you click the mouse 10 to 20 times, it is impossible to get a perfect game. This is because there is an elf who will randomly sidestep a ball coming towards him to deliberately deny you a point.

The elf bowling pins have a few problems besides cheekiness though. While it is possible to knock an elf into one adjacent to him, if you ever get a split, there is no degree of fancy aiming that will allow you to pick up the spare.
