About Beach Bowling Dream VR
A lucid dream about getting ship-wrecked on a deserted island and finding that the materials from your ship have been turned into a bowling alley by a friendly ghost of a pirate! A simple and fun room-scale VR mini-game. Can you unlock the pirate's treasure chest? The lock on it looks fairly brittle...
Minimum Requirements
HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, or Windows Mixed Reality system with a reasonable room configuration for swinging your arm in a bowling motion (probably 4'x6' minimum, but larger is better).
Playing Instructions
Use the controller's triggers to pick up and let go of the cannon balls. Bowl underhand or throw them overhand - it's your dream, nobody is going to stop you!
Trailer for those without Flash support (iOS, etc.) available in the Community page.
Developer's Note: This is not a "bowling simulator" and was never intended to be...there are plenty of those with spin physics and scoring out there. The intention of this game was to give my Mom a way to bowl again. She is retired now and her shoulder and wrist injuries prevent her from lifting and throwing a real bowling ball. Through this game, I was able to let her bowl again (on a tropical island no less) and she really enjoys it. If you are an experienced VR gamer, this game is probably not for you...but if you have some people in your life who have never tried VR before or, like my Mom, love recreational bowling but can't do it anymore, have them give it a shot. There are no complicated menu systems, you only need to use one trigger on one controller, and it won't cause simulator sickness since all movements are 1:1 with your own physical movements. I hope you (and/or they) enjoy it!

Dude, there is literally no way Pirates have not invented bowling just like that. I mean, have you ever played a game so janky and horrible that you have some what fun because it's so hilariously stupid? Well that's exactly what this game is. Besides that, Pirates didn't have any electronics or modern point-counting system back then when they stranded on a lonely island, so what are you guys even talking about, this is perfect.2 found this helpful
Shiver me timbers… one dollar for this booty? Gyarr, it’s not a triple-A title by any means, but ‘tis a decent VR bowling game for that price. The environment is nice, (especially if you find the “walk the plank” easter egg!) it runs smooth and stable, and being able to toggle the music is a nice touch. It has some downsides: No score keeping (but you’re on a desert island, so who is really keeping score anyway) and, the biggest one for me, the throwing mechanics are tough! Maybe I just suck at bowling? Either way; there isn’t a whole lot here, and I’m not a super big bowling or pirate fan in general… but still, it’s well executed, and I give it THUMBS: UP!1 found this helpful
Writing a review for this game requires more effort than the amount that went into making it. It's shovelware. Bowling without a scorecard, bowling without points, bowling without AI or friends or multiplayer.... The easiest sport to emulate, and there is nothing right here. Nothing is even close to right. Valve should remove this crud from steam.1 found this helpful
love bowl :))))
Other than the fact that you can get 6 easy achievements by playing this game, this game is not worth it. Its a simple "bowling" game that looks as if it took maybe an hour to make. I put bowling in quotes simply because there's no real elements to bowling other than throwing balls down a lane at glass bottles. There's no frames, there's no score keeping. There's one level on an island, and that's it.
