Golf Around!

i

It's a fairly basic mini golf game. What you see is what you get. The controls are simple, the music is calming, and the courses are pretty short. There's a nice variety of courses and it seems more occasionally get added. Though there isn't really a 'traditional' mini golf course, everything has it's theme. You don't seem to keep score after the round is over, so you can't see your progress, which is a little disappointing. You can download community maps, which I assume have loads of variety. But even with just sticking to the base game there's enough here to enjoy yourself with. The only issue I've found is that the physics are a little weird at times, specifically with the bouncing. It's mini golf, so of course you'll want to bounce the ball off the walls to get around corners. The issue is that sometimes a ball will collide with a wall at a wide angle only to bounce off at a much tighter angle. Other times you'll hit a diagonal wall and the ball will bounce back like you just hit a perpendicular wall. It's a little frustrating, but not game killing. Overall, a decent mini golf game that is cheap to run. If you aren't willing (or are unable) to download community content then I'd say wait for a 50% sale. The base game is rather short, probably no more than 2 hours if you're just sprinting through the courses, but another 3 or 4 to get achievements if you're dedicated. It'll definitely be a nice addition to any casual, relaxing game libraries.
