Casual Golf
I do not mind ‘casual’. I DO mind non-predictable behavior.
The golf ball does not follow any reliable (game) ‘physics’. That would be fine, if the game would allow for more … ‘casual’ attempts to get it right, eventually. But every new try feels like RNG is at play, rather allowing the player to improve, getting better with each try. You are just hoping your first shot will allow you to have a chance with your second, eventually.
If this is intentional or ‘unpolished’ is not for me to say.

The physics in this game make me so angry. Why does the ball stick to walls?
This game is not like normal mini golf. A little more polishing and it could be great. At least it’s unique.

Golf On Mars
If you’re familiar with Desert Golfing - this is that, but better. Cheap, simple, relaxing fun, at least until you get stuck in a hole with no escape. Luckily, unlike Desert Golfing, you’re able to skip a hole after 25 strokes. You also have more smooth courses, the able to put backspin on the ball, and to easily reset the game. One thing I hope to see changed, perhaps, are the achievements for the game - currently only four, each for completing a certain amount of holes: one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, and one billion. It could definitely use some “get 1 hole in one” “get 5 holes in one” etc achievements, but my main gripe is that one billion, while funny, is simply not possible during the course of normal play. Anyway, pretty minor stuff. Would heartily recommend this for a relaxing time putting a ball over the dunes of Mars.

Perfect Round Disc Golf
If you like disc golf, this game will hook you up. The courses are beautiful. The discs fly realistically. Gameplay is fun, easy to learn, yet challenging enough to make you continuously want more. More skill gains, course unlocks, character unlocks, and more! Your first round, you may be turned off by the “goofy game characters”. In response, the author added regular humans, but the game characters are unquestionably more fun to play! And now with easily attainable new Skins, the game characters have even more character! NO Pay to Play, all game unlocks are FREE to earn! This adds an interesting video game aspect to an already great golf sim.

One Man development “team”. Rough Around the edges, extremely playable.
While there are some minor flaws, from reading up many of them are on the road map to be addressed. Personally the biggest “flaw” Ive found are the downhill flight physics; a disc can keep going for 1200 feet almost as if the disc is “falling down a hill” if that makes sense. Again, an early access title still in development.
I feel as if this game captures disc golf almost perfectly. I havent been able to play for a year and a half, when previously it was 3x a week, so this game is filling a hole for me.

Mini Golf Mundo
Mini Golf Mundo is a mini-golf game produced by purveyors of shovelware, EnsenaSoft. It does what it says on the box, that is to say, it’s a mini-golf simulator. Use the mouse to choose your trajectory, and hold down the left mouse button to power up, releasing when you think you have the right level of power in your stroke.
This game is fairly typical of an EnsenaSoft title. The graphics are poor quality, low poly. Gameplay is okay, but unfortunately they added moving obstacles and timing puzzles to some of the courses, which diverts away from a genuine mini-golf game. Resolution is fixed and there’s no other graphics settings. This isn’t worth $4.50, and there are better mini-golf games.

Here are all the wrong things about this game that I’ve found:
-
You can’t see anything, camera can move only to the sides
-
You can’t precisely control how strong you hit the ball, you have to hold left mouse button and release it when the power bar is in the place you want it to be
-
Most of the levels have something that dissapears and appears, which wouldn’t be that bad if you could see it, and hit your ball with proper strength. Sometimes it’s literally impossible to time it right, therefore you fail the whole level. I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THERE, BUT I DON’T LIKE IT!

MiniGolf
It is a small minigolf game and I only needed 4-5 hours to play all courses - the game has 6 campaigns with 9 courses each - so if you 5-8 minutes per course - it´s about 4-6 hours gametime … But it´s pretty exact the time needed playing a party real minigolf (only that´s more expensive). The graphics are nicely done (but you don´t have a wide screen option). The gamecontrol is easy to learn and to use. The ball physics are very good … I have problems with most other games I already played in this point, because they do what they want with the ball. So alltogether I enjoyed playing this little mini gold game. 7 out of 10 Stars for me.

Introducing Minigolf. An eye-catching game of, as the title indicates, minigolf.
You will be playing through 54 holes of varying difficulty and design. You will only need your mouse to play, the keyboard’s space bar can be used to select your ball to begin each stroke, and the escape key will function as normal. You will be playing through unique locations, such as a circus, an old castle, a factory and more. Inventive layouts & obstacles will challenge you to come in under par. Over hills and through valleys, obstacles galore, and much more, reaching the hole will take a steady hand and a keen eye. The time is at hand, grab your putter and hit the greens!

Visuals are not great, but the music and wave noises put you in the mood. I like mini golf and enjoy this course, there is enough variation to make it fun. It also has a lot of hills so its not just a put and your in….

Fort Golf
The game looks cheap, but it has very well designed puzzles. It’s a good puzzle game, when you start most levels a bit stumped as to how to solve them, but then when you finish them the solution seems obvious.

Great game! I recommend it to basically anyone that likes a challenge. Can’t wait for new levels or a new game by these guys. Keep up the good work Lucas and Sam!

Just completed the game. Wish there was a menu to edit variables like gravity, ball and/or goal size, or just more customization in general. Achievements would be a cool addition as well. Overall, the game was great. Definitely recommend it.

Overview:
‘3D MiniGolf’ is a very simple golf game unlike many minigolf video games you’ll find. Unlike other popular golf games, the levels in ‘3D MiniGolf’ are extremely straightforward, quick and easy to complete. There’s little to no uniqueness to the game as most of everything it tries to do different has already been done before. There isn’t much variety in terms of atmosphere or level design because almost everything is essentially recycled from previous levels.
There are only 3 different environments and each contain the typical 18 hole line-up that most minigolf courses have. With 18 holes per course, you’d think there’d be more than enough gameplay to keep the player engaged but as mentioned, the levels are extremely quick and easy to complete. There’s so little imagination when it comes to each hole that it just leaves the player wondering how long it’ll take for them to finish the game rather than enjoy the game for what it is. The game isn’t just easy, it’s really easy! Like “in 2 strokes” easy! that is a serious let down compared to what even real life minigolf courses are capable of achieving. If a video game (something with no limits) gives you less than its real life counterpart (something with many limits) then you know there’s something wrong.

Cloudlands 2
more stable and functional than the first, a bit more feature-rich, offering both standard golf and mini golf. don’t expect realism. (though you can control ball spin slightly. but only left and right. i see no indication of backspin/topspin control) DO expect fun, some challenge, a hint of frustration on some holes, and a good way to go mini-golfing with your friends when you cant actually go mini golfing with your friends.
controls could use a hint of refinement, but not bad considering it is designed to work with only one controller.

I love this game! I think we need more casual experiences like this in the market currently.
Its imperative when starting to play the first level over a few times to adjust the power of each club. As some of the defaults seem a little to strong or not strong enough.
