BOWLOUT – A Crazy Bowling-themed FPS Game Launching on Steam January 7th, 2025!

Defeat, shatter, and throw pins in 2025's craziest FPS Bowling Game.

Like with "real" bowling, the goal is simple: Hit the Pins!


BOWLOUT is a singleplayer first-person-shooter game set in a pin-infested bowling centre. Use your many, many Bowling Balls to take them out and destroy their leader!

 
It’s an over-the-top wacky game where you’ll switch between frantically throwing bowling balls in large groups of pins, throwing precise bursts at singular pins, grabbing a pin to perform a powerful melee attack or throwing said pin through multiple targets.
 

 

Levels


The game's levels are set in various connecting rooms in the bowling centre. Completing a level, by clearing out all the pins, will open the door to the next area where pins will spawn as you enter. The final boss area is an exception - it's set in a completely different location and aesthetic from the rest of the game.

 
  • Bowling Alley
  • Arcade
  • Poolhall
  • Entrance

Features:

 
  • To ball or not to ball: Chucking balls affects accuracy - adjust your playstyle carefully.
  • Who you callin' pinhead: Grab pins for powerful melee attacks or a piercing throw.
  • Shower me in medals: Unlock various achievements by playing well... or not so well.
  • My eyes are up here: Obtain and equip different ball colors by unlocking achievements.
  • A master on the sticks: Use a controller to feel it rumble as you shatter groups of pins.
 
About the developers:

Quint Winter is primarily a texture artist who makes amazing looking textures and materials, but also has experience modeling props, making music/SFX, and setting up environments. In regards to this project, Quint brought the Bowling Centre and Guttery Depths scenes to life with all the 3D assets and audio, as well as the pin-characters and various props.

 
Sep Horsthuis is a game/software developer with an interest in User Experience. Regarding BOWLOUT, Sep spent an additional couple of months on preparing BOWLOUT for release as Quint had to focus on studies. In the end he was responsible for game-programming, design, UI/UX, animations, and all tasks outside of pure gamedev.
