Want to play Skee-ball in a whole new way?

Google has launched yet another Chrome experiment, called Roll It. Basically a virtual Skee-ball game, this Chrome experiment allows players to compete with friends on their mobile devices.

Roll It is a modern version of the classic boardwalk game that you can play on the Chrome browser using your phone, desktop or laptop computer. The difference between the mobile and desktop versions is that Chrome on the phone lets you aim and roll the ball with a flick of your wrist, while Chrome on the computer renders the 3D graphics of the Roll It alley.

The game begins with the traditional lineup of scored holes. Each level becomes increasingly difficult as the white rings are rearranged on the board and specialty balls are occasionally dispensed. You’ve got to be careful with your target, or you’ll end up overshooting the goal and even throwing your phone into a wall.

The game links your phone directly to your computer’s Chrome browser, allowing you to shoot a ball right through your computer in a virtual game of Skee-ball. The best part is that its setup is very simple and doesn’t take more than a couple of minutes.

Simply visit the Roll It start page on your computer’s Chrome browser, and you’ll see some sweet intro-animations. Grab your smartphone,  follow the rest of the instructions, and in a few minutes you can start enjoying the game.
