It is the sequel to the game Ten Pin Alley, but was not developed or published by the same company.

The game functions similarly to its predecessor Ten Pin Alley, but offers players a stripped down and simplified version of the original, making the game less about the physics of ten-pin bowling and more about an enjoyable arcade game.

The player controls position, power, placement and hook.

As of 2020, the Wii version holds a 30% Metacritic rating reflecting "generally unfavorable reviews".
