Wonderputt Forever

If you’ve played this game, you’ve probably seen “trip modifiers” that change how the ball works. You get them by earning points. There are five of them, so naturally you have to have played a while and racked up enough points get them. There is no description of what each one does, only a name like “shuffle ball” or “crazy ball” or “roguelite ball” whatever that is. The problem is, if you choose one, there is no way to go back to the default ball. The only option, as I was told by customer support, is to uninstall the game and reinstall it which deletes your progress. Seems like a better option would be to let players choose to go back to the default ball instead of having to delete the game and lose all progress made. Or at least warn players that there’s no going back if they choose one of the trip modifiers. It’s too bad, because I love this game, but this is a major flaw.

After seeing my childhood flash game but remastered the in the same type of way the original Wonderputt was I was sad that I had to use Netflix and all that just to play Wonderputt

I really like this game, incredible course designs and very pretty overall, this will keep you entertained for hours. However, playing the game itself is…frustrating. Getting a good score is purely luck based, I’ve had this game for maybe a year and I only have three out of the fifteen possible collectibles, after countless attempts. The relic levels are straight up impossible. Whoever tested this game and said “yeah, the average mobile phone user can score this high,” I want to shake their hand and then step on their toes. TLDR, very fun game but might make you throw your phone across the room.

Frustrating I quit

I usually don’t write envies but this is a triumph. If you’re looking for the satisfaction of making a hole in one, though, this is not your game. This is about chewing in the scenery. The art is superb and has this syndical whimsy that I adored. Then you explore. These superficially simple levels have me coming back again and again hoping to unearth secrets (although I would have appreciated them to be more dense). Really the whole experience including multiple play throughs will not be more than 4 hours.

It’s odd to me that the game developers chose golf rules for an exploratory game like this. You simply cannot get par most of the time because you have no idea how a certain mechanic will behave, or because a shot needs to be precise but is impossible in the current constraints. The backgrounds and so on are very cool and the new mechanics are interesting, but having a par is unwelcome when you sometimes get an albatross and other times get +35 bogeys. It’s essentially random chance, not skill, which is an antithetical experience for a par-based game IMO.

Too many obstacles and barriers to even attempt to do things like a hole in one or have a feel of mini-golf. It’s just a game of how many hits can you do to jump this ramp while seeing all these cool animations take place Love the creativity, just a really stupid game

Ec Eee

Idk what everyone is drinking but this is a blast. I’m laughing and smiling playing this.

I love the artwork and music—it's got a definite Monument Valley vibe to it. That's a genuine compliment and not an accusation of unoriginality as I absolute love the Monument Valley games. I don't often write reviews, but I felt I had to after I took notice of one often overlooked quality—when a game's coding is so efficient, that it goes unnoticed. I'm playing on a phone that is now 4 generations old and will be replaced next week due to a severely degraded battery. After playing for probably an hour this morning, I notice that it's not drained nearly as much of my battery as I expected. The game is smooth and and seems pretty lightweight. Kudos to the developer team. I would love to see more though. Hope they update with additional content.
