Im sorry, I didnt explain very well. The whole screen is glitched and not working. But I have just cheated and skipped the whole mini game. Im running on linux so a few errors like this are expected from game to game. I was just surprised since every other mini game has been working up to that point.Is there a special button to throw the bowling ball(Im on the date with Becca at the mall.). I lost about a hour of game play because I got stuck with the bowling ball going back and forth. I replayed and now I have a save right before I talk to Becca. When I hold left mouse the "charge bar"? shows up, but its not charging, its just empty and stays that way till I release mouse button. The ball just keeps moving left and right endlessly, reguardless of what I press.
Youtube videos/walkthrough seem to glaze over over the controls so I have to assume its only looking for left mouse actions. I feel like I've hit every button on the keyboard and since not one other person reports this issue Im really confused. Not sure how to move past this point, considering this version of the game is considered completed I doubt a patch will be issued.
Thank you for trying to help though.
I haven't played the bowling part in a long time and I don't have a save near there ... However, it seems from the video here:You must be registered to see the linksthat they are either moving the mouse up/down or the scroll wheel.
using google - I just searched bowling time taffy tales how to and this was the 6th result on the page:

Which links to a pdf found in this post - #11,088. From that PDF:
Day 53: Once you exit your house Becca will be there. Talk to her then head to the Mall for a date. Once there go Bowling. The bowling minigame is pretty simple. Click your left mousebutton and drag the mouse upwards to increase the power then release the button when you want to throw the ball. The sweet spot seems to be 75% power and releaseing it just before it hits the middle of the aiming area. That way you´ll get a strike every time.
