Starri 2.0: Our Update Plan
Summer collection not collecting
I have been playing the bowling game with my kids and we have been trying to get all the summer pins. We are a high level on the game so unlocking items are few and far in between. After playing about 4 games with 10 lanes we finally unlocked an item and it WAS NOT a summer collection item, rather a regular item that we could get at any time. Last time the bowling game had an event (spring event) it had its own point system with its own collectible timeline. This system was much better than the summer one. There is no way we will be able to unlock everything with the allotted time.
Bowling..needs to professional in a sense
Bowling should keep you up to date. Meaning like keep your score and fix your handicap then rate you to leagues and tournaments. Making you rank up and earn achievements and new objectives like ranking globally and local.
Improved graphics
Some of the games have amazing graphics, I believe graphics of bowling can be improved alooooot, its almost a 6 player game and creates marketing opportunities too IF the game is of high quality
In Progress
Neon Bowling
Top Tier unlockable: Neon Bowling! The black light, neon lane, and upbeat music. Also would unlock a whole new line of unlockables that can only be unlocked by playing neon.
100(0) pin bowling!
We're having nightly bowling tournaments, and the family consensus is we need 100 / 1000 pin bowling! I know it'd probably be a task, making larger lanes, accommodating all the extra physics going on, but I'd love to see it added! Even 50 pin if theres hardware constraints or something.
Improvements to pin action to be more accurate
For real bowlers they will notice the pins do not move accurately when hit. If you hit between the 1 and 3 with speed the pins should move a lot in a mini explosion where you should get between 8 and 10 down. I notice in the game they don't and you may only get a 5. Also a suggestion would be a ln accessory glove with sensors for wrist motion for those who throw a hook.
Enhanced visuals during game setup
There is this nice interior of a bowling alley that we don't get to see much of. Selecting custom pins, ball, and lane is still not the greatest, as it just cycles through one at a time. What if we solved these two problems in one swift update? We know that the camera can move through the environment during the game. I'd like to see the camera shift to different parts of the bowling alley while we set up the game. The game could start off as is by looking at all the lanes. To get a game started, the camera could move to face the counter. Here we could select number of players and manage profiles. After the number of players and who's playing is set, then the camera moves towards the side of the alley where we get to choose our ball, pins, and lane customization. I'd like to see this look like a shelf with 3 tiers. Each tier would offer one type of customization, one shelf for balls, one shelf for pins, and one shelf for lanes. The shelf would be able to show multiple items (but not all) at once, and can side scroll to access the other items not currently visible. Whoever has the remote can select the player or profile, and then the custom items that player requests. At any point in time, you can shift focus to another player and change items. You should be able to see what each player has selected at the top underneath their profile badge. The selected ball and pin will be placed on top of the selected lane design. Attached below is a quick mock up of this shelf idea. In addition to this concept of being able of the camera to move around to different parts of the alley to access different parts of the game, I'd like to see the arcade featured with a mini game or two in arcade cabinets. There could also be a trophy case which could display high score leaderboards or competition or championship standings etc.
Option to disable replay entirely
We always skip the replay it’s annoying to keep raising hand to skip
“Cosmic” (glow) bowling
Like weekend nights at many physical bowling alleys when everything glows in black light with cool neon lighting patterns sweeping across the lanes.
Completed
Forward and back option for choosing pins, lanes, balls
Would love to have a forward and backward option below each choice so you don’t have to cycle through all the balls, pins, lanes if you accidentally miss the one you want.

Turkey video - match holiday
The holiday updates are great! We are hoping the turkey video can match the holiday please?
In Progress
Custom Bowling Pins
using color palettes / shapes / icons / photos from the camera. This would allow kids to personalize their game even more, and experiment with different looks.
Completed
PLEASE make permanent profiles
This is one of our favorite games but we get tired of spending more time setting up, than we do playing😭
Completed
Permanent profiles
The ability to set up permanent profiles for family members - so you don't have to go through the whole set up every time!
Wanted For Bowling- Remote For Setup!
I would love to see an update to bowling. It’s our favorite game (but also frustrates us the most). It would be amazing for some improvement in how you set up the game. Ideally it would be super helpful to have the option to use the remote for setup. With kids it’s extremely difficult to hover over and do hand over hand with the bumpers, pins, balls, lanes etc. If not an update like this I would at least love to have the bumpers option moved down instead of the upper left corner. It is so difficult to turn them on and hope to not touch anything else moving a kids hand to then hit the start button all the way right hand screen. If we miss the bumpers (to turn on, just the right wrong little movement shifts it) then we have to stop the game and completely start over the process. My kids only will play with bumpers. We then hope the second time of a restart it doesn’t happen again or it all could repeat how ever many times. All of us get frustrated. It might be helpful too to have an option once your setup is complete to be able to turn on/off bumpers in the middle of the game. That could at least help us avoid having to restart so many times. My kids are 3 and 7 for reference. 3 year old needs hand over hand for entire setup. 7 is special needs and does decent except bumpers she always needs help with. She can usually turn them on but then on way to start she usually accidentally turns them off again (by little movement of arm) and then affects other choices too. Thanks in advance for considering this feedback for possible future bowling updates.

Streamline bowling setup
This has been mentioned before but items have only been added to bowling, with no system changes. The setup for bowling is agonizing. There need to be bowling preference profiles or sets of pins, ball, and lane where you click ONE THING and can start, not go through an irritating multi-step setup. I also hate the selfie for bowling. Even my adorable kids (ok super biased) look terrible in their pictures, and I really hate seeing how tired I look every time i bowl. I've been taking them with stuffed animals lately. For the sake of kindness please offer a simple avatar option or one picture that we can just keep using. We also need to be able to toggle off certain holiday bowling options to not have to scroll through them every time. I don't want to erase them but I also don't want to bowl with Santa in May. Plus some items are just not my favorites...and there's tons now. Streamline the setup so we can enjoy the play! It's even worse when the game crashes in the middle and you lose progress plus have to set it up from the beginning again. -frustrated bowler

Continue amassing points to save up for future unlockable items
Most of the other games will let players continue racking up points even after all of the currently existing options for using those points are maxed out. It would be great if “Bowling: Strike!” did the same so that players would be that much closer to earning seasonal unlockable items when they’re released.

Unlock-able Items Idea
What about background unlocks being added to the bowling game? You change it based on holidays, why not have them as rewards?
Rockin and a Bowlin…
So far, I love the bowling and the boxing fitness. One request to the devs…configure a switch to disable the background music in Bowling Strike. I’d love to play some classic rock while tossing balls down the lane.
