Golf was the first sport I ever picked up, and undoubtedly mini-golf was something that further enticed me. As a kid I was often bored to bits honing my skills on the putting green, until one day my father brought me to a mini-golf complex and I was amazed. I mean, compare tapping a ball around a plain green field to a miniature arena filled with fantasy designs, it’s rather obvious how the latter appeals more.
What really drew me to the game wasn’t how the game controls worked or adapted. I mean, it’s your run of the mill drag and release game after all, nothing much to rave about. The key factor of this game lies in the beautiful ‘scenery’ where different holes are aptly designed to fit certain themes.
Did someone say pirate ship?
Yeah, I was lucky (and glad) to have a certain update make it in time prior to downloading the game for this review. The developers had added a pirate themed course and I must say it marks itself as my favorite amongst the rest. Not to say the other themes are sub par though, especially when you have marvels such as octopi creating bridges with their tentacles and whatnot.
I wouldn’t count on expecting realism in this game, after all mini-golf has always marketed itself as some sort of fantasy reality. The game does wonders in that department.
Of course, being a free app to download, there has to be some sort of real world monetary value pinned somewhere. Levels, or themes as I would prefer to cal it, are made available through in-app purchases. That includes the beautiful pirate theme, which I found was very worth the money. Of course, you’ll also have the standard ad remover and coins available for purchase.
