Ratings and reviews

The mini golf game is pretty well done, with a UI that gives better aim and power control than most and multiple courses available for solo and 2-player play. Only minor issues with 3-D rendering at some angles. Ads are full-screen and linger for quite a while (30 sec?) until they can be dismissed, but they are rare. All good. But every third or fourth ad never offers a "close" button. The "back" Android softkey is disabled, and the only way out is to quit the game. 2 stars.

I played the first course in practice mode and was mortified when my score didn't add up. I took a screenshot where par was 42. I had 32 but the AI counted it as a 46 after the 9th hole. The power is a little on the weak side and camera doesn't have autocorrection when the ball stops moving (which would be helpful.) Other than that, the game is well designed and looks great. A good bonus is it's one of a few that don't require a Facebook login or match play.

As far as basic mini-golf games go, this is a decent one, but not quite an Ace or Eagle. To me, there are two major issues. 1) There's no good way to tell how much power is needed on a given shot/hole other than trial and error. the "guide" for the direction of the ball barely covers 1 square of the green. - Note - I do understand you don't want to have the last dot be where the ball should stop, but long putts are virtually impossible to line up. 2) There is no real way to tell the slopes are on the greens, and sometimes the alternate camera views don't help. This is a fun game without a lot of the bells, whistles, and wildness of other mini-golf games... I just wish the aiming were a touch easier. On a side note, more google-play achievements would be nice. They are there for Aces, but birdies, rounds under par, rounds completed, an even max strokes per hole could all also be achievements.
