72/100

Golf, kind of is a minimalist physics puzzler that lives up to its name—it's golf, but with a weird, addictive twist. The 'pull back and launch' mechanic is simple, but the level design quickly ramps up the challenge. You'll find yourself bouncing off walls and landing on tiny islands in ways that feel more like a platformer than a sports game.

With thousands of levels, it’s the ultimate time-waster. While it can become quite repetitive after a long session, its strength lies in those 5-minute gaps in your day. The physics are generally reliable, and the drive to beat a friend's high score on a particularly tricky level provides a good incentive to keep playing. It’s a clean, straightforward game that does exactly what it says on the tin.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. This is golf in name only. It’s a basic physics toy. Pull back, aim, hope for the best. While the minimalist look is clean, the game suffers from a lack of identity. It feels like one of those 'endless' projects where the developer focused on making 4,000 levels instead of making 40 great ones.

I’ve heard reports of levels being virtually impossible due to pixel-perfect requirements that the simple controls don't support well. It’s fine for a few minutes in a waiting room, but it lacks the tactical depth of a real sports game or the cleverness of a top-tier puzzler. It's a 'kind of' game indeed.
