Behind Geo Bowling

Geo Bowling began as a fun “HackFest” week project at my place of employment. With the goal of writing a 3D cross-platform game, I delved into Unity, using the 2018.4.13f1 Personal version. I would like to thank Bee, Papaya, Pal and Vi for their tireless effort compiling data, testing and coming up with enhancements for this app. Thank you, girls! You inspire and motivate me. Version 1.7 is built on Unity 2023.1.13f1.
