Review of Flash Game: Wonderputt


Most miniature golf players are submitted to the elements of the great outdoors, such as heat, wind, rain, cold and insects. For those who are not a fan of nature, this flash game has found a way to overcome these unpleasant conditions while giving each player an optimal golfing experience. Enjoy this not so simple game of miniature golf, without ever leaving the computer. Putt through the snow, hills, lakes, submarines, and much more. Just don't let the ball sink into the water or fall off the edge or a turn will be wasted and points will be lost.

The rules of the game are that of basic miniature golf. The controls are simple. Just move the mouse closer or farther away from the ball and then click. The ball will go the direction that the arrow is pointing. The courses are not as simple as the controls. The different courses are definitely the best part of the game. Not only is there a wide variety of different courses, but the player is able to watch the ball travel from one course to another and watch the upcoming course be built. Cows, space ships, and submarine disassembly are part of the building process. The animation and courses are fun. They create a very out of this world feel, which adds excitement to the game as well as providing a break in between holes for the user to rest a little. The game gets progressively harder. In the beginning, the player can rely on luck. In the later courses, it is almost pure strategy and skill. Points are something to consider while building a strategy. The more hits it takes you to putt the ball the lower your score.

One negative thing about the game is how long it takes the ball to settle after it is hit. On some courses it is realistic and doesn't roll around too long. On other courses, where almost no part of the green is even, the ball rolls back and forth across the grass for what seems like forever. This forces the player to wait a long time between hits which ends up feeling very frustrating. The music matches the sense of wonder that the courses create, but it starts feeling very monotonous after a while.

Hints and Tips:

The key to getting a hole in one is power and angle. The sooner these two things are mastered, the higher your overall score will be.

Remember that the least amount of putts equals the highest score.
