12 Bowling-esque animations to add some excitement to axe throwing



ree

AxeScores is...well...it's fine. And I'm sure the new app has a bunch of improvements. I'd guess about $2.99 a month's worth of improvements. But, for my part, I think one BIG improvement we can implement now as a community is adding some flair to our scorekeeping. There is perhaps no better example of this flair than the absolutely unhinged, impossible-to-follow nature we find in bowling. Those little pins and bowling balls get into no shortage of nonsensical situations, and I for one would just love to see that absurdity make its way into our sport. I'm no graphic designer. Nor do I have any grasp on how exactly to make animations. That being said, I also don't know when to stop trying. So here are my very good, very professional submissions for axe throwing leagues and tourneys to start using right away. If the IATF wants to implement these animations into the new app, I'm open to discussions.


A gif showing two axes that can't quite tap.
a gif showing a gravestone with 79 on it, and the text "deepest condolences"
A gif showing an animated axe dropping, and "Whoopsie Doodles" appearing
A gif that reads "Delay of Match - For pee pee times"
A gif that reads "sympathrees"
A gif of two axes tapping, with text that reads "Great Tap"
The gif of a caliper dancing across the screen, revealing the text "Pointless Science Call"
A gif that reads "Perfect Round"
A gif that reads "Scorekeeper caught Sleepin'"
A gif that reads "Oh Shit, An 81, Baby"
A gif that reads Big Axe Time
A gif that reads "Going Points"
