3D Mini Golf Challenge
3D Mini Golf Challenge is one of the games I play most often when I have a couple of minutes to spare. There’s nothing much to it: play some putt-putt over a couple of different, wacky courses trying either to beat par or trounce the computer opponent. As one accomplishes these various goals by scoring points, additional courses to play are unlocked.
The controls are extremely intuitive and simple. Other than aiming the club to select a path for the ball, the only other action is to select the strength with which the ball will be propelled forward. A touch and drag on the ball is all that is required.
That’s probably what makes this so much fun to play – no complicated controls to master and the ability to improve quite quickly as one learns how gradients affect the direction and travel of the golf ball.
The 3D environment is attractive and the animation and panning well executed. There are occasions when the view of the intended shot is obstructed. Otherwise, the ability to rotate the view and zoom out to some degree is adequate. The course are quirky and contain numerous traps to ensure the ball is prevented from making it to the hole too easily. The game contains 100 holes for play in various modes: against par, against the clock, against the computer opponent or try for a hole in one challenge.
If you’re interested in a game that is quick to learn, fun to play and doesn’t require a huge time investment, give 3D Mini Golf Challenge a try. It’s available for USD 4.99 from the Apple App Store.
