Hey there! What was your name again? You start the game as an unknown with a few Followers and an average Sponsor. To increase your Fame level, you need to gain Followers.
There are 10 levels of Fame in the game:
1. Rising Star
2. Top Prospect
3. Leading Light
4. Crowd Pleaser
5. Headliner
6. Celebrity
7. A-Lister
8. Superstar
9. Idol
10. Legend
As you gain Followers, you unlock the next Fame levels. Each new level allows you to sign contracts with bigger Sponsors and offers better Quests, prizes, and rewards.
Fame
Sponsors become interested in you as you become more popular, just like in real life! You'll get your first Sponsor in the game once you reach a Rising Star Fame level.
At each Fame level, you'll have a choice of three Sponsors:
Sponsor 1 boosts the chances of new items in Sponsor Boxes.
Sponsor 2 increases the number of cards in Sponsor Boxes.
Sponsor 3, a Premium Sponsor, combines the bonuses of the first two.
The higher your Fame level, the more prestigious Sponsors you'll have. Note that you can only change your Sponsor when you reach the next level of Fame.
Here's the full list of Sponsors at each Fame level:
Fame level 1: Tumbleweed Grill, Tools & Trucks Shop, and Mining Co-op
Fame level 2: Mill Yard, Feather&Fur Care, and Shhh Library
Fame level 3: Smith's Bakery, Pie House, and Coffee King

Followers are crucial for increasing your Fame levels, unlocking new Sponsors and Sponsor activities, and acquiring new items. You can earn Followers in three ways: making Spinning shots, Perfect shots, and using Max Loft. Each of these factors contributes to the total number of Followers you gain with a throw.
The number of Followers you can earn in a match is limited by the total number of Audience members in the Tour. For example, in Tour 1, the Audience is 1000, which means you can earn up to 1000 Followers for a match in this Tour. Including Charisma, this can total up to 1020 Followers. You can track the Followers you earn with each throw on a special bar above the score table after making your throw.
In addition to one-on-one matches, the game features a PvE mode where you play without opponents; it's just you against the pins. It's called Sponsor activities, and you can access it by tapping the bottom right icon on the Home screen's menu. You also need Followers to unlock these activities, and each Fame level offers from 1 to 5 such activities, each with 3 stages. Each stage has limits on either the number of shots or the time available. This means you must complete a stage within the specified shot count or time limit. The goal is to clear a stage in a single attempt. If unsuccessful, you can either start from the beginning or restart the same frame for Gold. When winning a stage for the first time, you receive a Sponsor Box as a reward, and subsequent plays earn you Silver. Access this PvE mode by tapping the bottom right icon on the Home screen's bottom menu. It offers a good balance of challenge and enjoyment, so give it a try!
