We checked out this game and had fun with it even though it would be better if we could control with the mouse too

Thanks for the review! Great channel, itch.io should feature it!

You should be able to roll the ball with the mouse, but I did have trouble getting it to work consistently with different mice, particularly on Windows. I think the iPad version has the best control, swiping on the screen to roll the ball, which best emulates the original game's control which used a real bowling ball like a trackball.
