A roll-ball arcade game whose slope follows the Duo hinge
Does Uphill: Bowling Arcade Game work on iPhone Duo?
Yes, the developer says so: stood on a table like a small laptop, the angle of the raised half sets the slope of the board and the score multiplier.
- App Store confirmedBala Technologies LLC, the developer, in the App Store description for version 1.2 (released October 17, 2026), which says that on iPhone Duo, standing the phone on a table like a small laptop lets the angle of the raised half set the board's slope. Other devices use a slider.

Tilt the target with the hinge
Stood on a table like a small laptop, the angle of the raised half sets the slope of the board, and steeper settings are worth more points. The slope locks while a ball is rolling.
About Uphill: Bowling Arcade Game
Uphill is a classic roll-ball arcade game in real-time 3D. Flick a wooden ball up the maple lane, take the jump at the top and land it in the rings: the higher the ring, the more it scores. You get nine balls a game, and a second table with glowing pockets is in Settings. A steeper board gives a bigger score multiplier, but a ball that misses its ring can bounce off and be lost.
On iPhone Duo, stand the phone on a table like a small laptop, and the angle of the raised half sets the slope. On iPad and other iPhones, a slider sets it, so everyone plays the same game.
