‘Bowling Wizards’ new bowling game by Nextwave Multimedia

Monday, December 26th, 2011

Nextwave Multimedia launches Bowling Wizards – a fun filled, exciting bowling game for all ages.

The Wizard world is in crisis. The Evil Lord has cast a spell on the ‘Pines’ who have taken over the land and enslaved the ‘Bowlons’. For them it is a do or die situation, if they want to gain their freedom back.

Wizard Land comprises of 5 islands, Airea, Ruins, Lava, Frosty and Magica. Here the ‘Bowlons’ and the ‘Pines’ had lived harmoniously till the Evil Lord cast his spell.

This is where the game begins, Gamers play for the Bowlons against the Pines in the fight to break their shackle and liberate Wizard Land.

Game Play : The islands are divided into levels, each level having distinct environment, with different game play. Presently two islands, Airea and Ruins are active. In each level the gamer has to knock down all the Pines. But that is easier said than done; packed with concealed surprises and magic, the challenges are daunting. The Pines and Bowlons have a mind of their own; the alleys are mysterious and misleading, so intelligent strategy and clever game play is obligatory to win.

Rich visuals, complex and addictive game play with imaginative story telling makes this an unusually enjoyable game to play.

The Game is made using Blender 2.49 for the 3D models and Unity 3D game engine for the game development.
