Bowl with the Punches

I always had a crush on the notion of a Hazard Labs bowling team, and occasionally I’d bandy about the idea of a game called Hazard Labs: Bowl with the Punches. Basically you take a fighting game where you use your remaining hit points as a modifier on a bowling accuracy gauge to combine the best of both game genres.

This bowling alley is loosely based on one in my hometown – at least in terms of arcade machines lighting the darkness, and grimy bathrooms.
