Patch 1.2
Change Log v1.2
Tip For Curve: If you are having trouble getting good curve on the ball, make sure you are following throw the release with your wrist angled in the direction of the curve you desire. The effect is very noticable. We will be putting out a video tutorial soon to show how it can be done consistently.
Change - Added options in the player settings when adding a new player to adjust how much curve and power modification is given to the ball. This setting is meant to stay on default, but if the player doesn't have enough space to get a good throw the power and curve can be adjusted to aid them.
Change - Added additional help to the tutorial. If you are having difficulty pressing buttons, do the tutorial again by going to options/camera orientation and pressing tutorial. This should give you a better idea of how to press buttons.
Change - Ambient noise has been added to both the space and basement levels. This can be disabled if desired by pressing the menu button when in a game.
Fix - The ball will now not stop moving in the lane due to friction, the ball should always continue sliding.
Fix - General tweaks to all the sounds to be more fluid.

This patch includes fixes and tweaks for better usability.
Change- Altered the play space to be better for 2M x 1.5M. This will allow more room for all play spaces.
Change - Keyboard has been made larger to allow for easier input of bowlers.
Change - Added wording on the main menu to show that camera orientation can be changed in the options menu.
