This is because there is an elf who will randomly sidestep a ball coming towards him to deliberately deny you a point. The elf bowling pins have a few problems besides cheekiness though. While it is possible to knock an elf into one adjacent to him, if you ever get a split, there is no degree of fancy aiming that will allow you to pick up the spare. Most elves will just rise up and drop flat after they get hit, and outside of bowling the basically guaranteed strikes, it can be hard to measure what determines how many elves will topple.
The elves even seem to ever so lightly shift left and right while standing in place so it is possible they are moving to disrupt your aim. The elves only really have enough jokes to fill a single ten frame game, and the bare bones bowling is already designed to not really support anything but clicking at the designated times where a strike is almost guaranteed. A BAD rating. The way Santa wears a bowling shirt is pretty damn funny if you ask me. It is also the way the elves behave and the fact that things like reindeer will dart across the lane that really give the game a lot of personality.
Once you strip back the strange story and the charming Christmas presentation. What you have with Elf Bowling is, well it is a bowling game. The game is played with a meter-based system like most other bowling games. You select where you want Santa to bowl from, then you adjust your power and curve and hope for the best. If you have played any kind of bowling game before you will be able to get into this. I would not say that the controls are any better or worse than any other bowling game I have played.

A thousand thank yous. I loved this game when it first came out and love to play it every Christmas. Never liked the sequel. I think some newer OS have had trouble with this particular game. Thanks for the heads up! Maybe there was an error grabbing the correct file or there was an advertisement popup somewhere.
I updated the Mac version, so please give it a download and let me know if you have any more issues. Update: I updated the Mac version to try and resolve the newer OS issue.
