Skee-Ball! Bring the fun of the boardwalk to the palm of your hand with 3D graphics, great physics, and awesome prizes. A true American classic.
With a quick flick, roll the ball up the ramp and into one of the numbered holes for points, tickets, and unlockable achievements.
Win enough tickets and go on a shopping-spree for fun prizes like a set of vampire teeth, a Peruvian Flute Band CD, or even a custom ball to use in-game. Over 80 prizes in all.
Skee-Ball is easy to learn and easier to love: Play by simply flicking your finger across the screen or making a bowling motion. Tilt the iPhone/iPod Touch to add spin. Simple to play, almost impossible to stop playing!
The NVIDIA PhysX engine delivers console-quality physics so the ball rolls and bounces hyper-realistically. Worldwide hi-scores let you see how your hoard of tickets compares to everyone else's. The Plus+ Network lets you challenge friends with score tracking, achievements and leader-boards.
Skee-Ball is celebrating its 100th birthday, but has never felt more modern!

Super fun and addicting
Wow this is just so much fun... I find myself playing it whenever I am standing in line, passenger in a car, at work lol... Seriously this has got to be one of the best dollar apps on the app store! Thumbs up to the developers!
Fun & Simple
If you already know how to bowl, the rest is pretty obvious. Roll ten balls at a ramp pointed toward a series of stationary cups. The trickier the shot, the more points you earn. Combine that with a bonus multiplier earned for making specific shots, you can rack up huge points in no time. Other bonuses include achievements for certain patterns of play (such as getting a ball into every cup in one round) and a ticket system which pays out relative to how well you play and can be redeemed for a wide selection of virtual prizes ranging from new game balls with varying properties to useless, but sometimes rare, trinkets. (Sort of like trading cards.)
One problem I have noticed with the game, is that it is, on a rare occasion, possible to get a ball stuck on the edge of the ramp, where it neither falls into the ball gutter nor rolls back down the lane to the player. A disposal routine needs to be added that watches balls for zero movement toward or away from the player... especially on the final ball, where it causes the game to get locked into the slow-mo, close-up mode indefinitely making it impossible to end the round via the user menu.
Awesome!!
This is a great game! Works good, no crashes easy to play and fun! Def worth a buc!!!!!
