About Fresh Oil — bowling where the lane is the opponent

Fresh Oil — bowling where the lane is the opponent is a free online Simulation game that runs right in your browser. There is nothing to download and no account to create: press Play and you are in. It works on desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile.

Ten frames of tenpin with the physics actually simulated, not faked: the ball is a rigid body with a real inertia tensor, so it hooks because friction acts on a spinning sphere, and the drilling layout decides how much fresh cover it puts down each revolution. Forty feet of oil lie between you and the pocket, and every ball thrown on the lane — yours and the three other bowlers on the pair — takes a little of it away. The line that struck in the first frame comes in high by the sixth. Read where your ball arrived, move two boards with your feet and one with your eyes, and keep chasing the lane until the tenth.
