You’ve always loved the ancient Italian game of Bocce, and now that you can play it anywhere and anytime.
Bocce is the only application currently in existence that has the realistic appearance and uses the same physics as the real world version. Challenge a friend or test your skill against the computer. This is as close to an authentic bocce playing experience as you can get on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad.
First, you toss the small target ball onto the Bocce court, then the challenge begins. Each player takes a turn throwing a ball, trying to get closest to the target. Today, you are the green ball and you’re kicking butt! Needing only one more point to get the winning fifteen, you line up your shot and throw. Yes, you did it! Victory is yours and you prepare to play again.
You are going to have tons of fun with this game but you’ll also appreciate the smooth controls and interface simplicity. Everyone will find it easy to operate. All you need is some strategy and some practice to become a top player.
One player throws green balls, the other red. Always, the object is to land your ball as close to the small target ball as possible. Of course, the position of the target moves as player balls bump it around. That’s okay, just develop a keen eye and a steady hand and you’ll do fine. The first one to get fifteen points wins the game.
Check out the features you get in Bocce:
* Smooth, touchscreen controls
* Easy-to-use interface and game rules
* Attractive graphics
* Most realistic bocce experience on the mobile application market today
* Loads of fun for all ages
* Universal app works on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad
This is a game that the whole family can play. Everyone enjoys the realistic gaming, based on physics, which provides challenging, addictive entertainment. You’ll be playing for hours at a time.
Download Bocce now and get in on the fun.

Great start!!

I love the physics and replayability, but this game needs selectable difficulty. I beat the opponent 3 straight times, shutting him out all 3 times. :::ATTENTION APP CREATORS::: Allow for varying difficulties, and I will give you 5 stars!! Thanks.
Great app!

This app is fun to play. I agree with other reviewers that it would be fun to have adjustable difficulty levels and perhaps a grass backround to play on, looking foreward to future updates.
Excellent game

Great game...nicely done...would be 5 stars if could play against others via wi-fi or on local lan...still great game with great graphics...AI is weak for single player games.
Entertaining but could use some tweaks

I recently played in my first bocce ball tournament and was surprised to find this game for my iPod Touch. It is fun to play and I like that you can play against the "computer". I agree that there should be a range of difficulty from amatuer to intermediate to pro. Also, it should save a game that you are in the middle of playing (especially if you are winning). If you exit the game before it is over, there is no option to continue. It just starts a new game. Another thing I would like to see are statistics on # of games won/loss and option to reset. Add these items in an update and the developer should see five stars for all reviews. As for a grass background...not necessary. This is bocce ball which is normally played on a combination of fine sand and crushed shells (clam, I believe). Now if this was lawn bowling, I could understand a grass background. Looking forward to an update with the suggested additions
Neat game but needs to save state

Fun game, but needs to save the game when I exit the app come back to it later. (boss mode! ;-)
Needs more

Great game needs adjustable difficult, maybe a career mode where can play in tournaments. Also maybe a way to Lin the ball with spin....keep it up!
I love bocce!!!

This game is awesome. Definately needs Ai difficulty levels. No challenge to beat computer. Other courses such as grass would be awesome. I think changing the ball release to some type of "flicking" motion with your finger towards the balls would make this more realistic. Also the ability to turn the arrow "off" somehow for a bit more challenge. Dang I wish I knew how to write code. Cool game, developer! Please keep working on it!
v.2.0 Note

New update has some great features, but a couple of major drawbacks over the earlier version are the ball "arrow" does not extend as far in this version so it is hard to determine "power" and it's also thus impossible to aim the ball precisely.
