    A very simple, straight-forward MiniGolf game. The fundementals are not bad, but each hole seems to be a variation on the original hole with some obstacles in the way. I was hoping for something a little more picturesque, or elaborate. Winmills, Some kind of theme to the overall course, anything could have made this a fun game. As such, it felt very repetitious and was overly simple with a hole in one being easy to score on several holes of the first course. Normally, I can find at least a few…

    One-Sentence Summary A simplistic, bare-bones minigolf game that suffers from really bad physics, stiff controls, dull gameplay mechanics, numerous bugs, and strange interpretations of minigolf rules and terminology. Pros + It's a no-frills, straightforward minigolf game (sorta) Cons - The ball moves and feels like a weightless ping-pong ball - The wall deflection angles are really wonky - No camera free-look controls, zoom, or map to plan shots - The swing mechanics are not fun and require…

    This game rubs me the wrong way in too many places for me to be able to recommend it. For one, there's only local multiplayer and not online multiplayer. Next, the camera controls are limited in that you can only change the angle by changing your shot angle. I would like to be able to zoom around the hole freely so I know what I'm getting into, say, over a hill (which you can't see over from where you're standing). Also, getting the ball in the hole is referred to as "pocketing the…

    This is by far the worst minigolf game I've ever played. I spent twice as much time waiting in between holes and shots than I did actually playing the game. When I did get to play, it was monotonous and infuriating. Pros: ● None Cons: ● Physics are horrible! ● Hole designs are boring. ● Aiming is a bit wonky. ● Slow loading and obnoxious menus. ● Buggy The physics are downright awful. Good luck figuring out how much power you need to get up a hill or across a slanted platform because the…

    Firstly, let me remind you about the lack of online multi player - which they have since edited the store page to indicate this, AFTER I brought it, partly because of that point. Visual "next" prompts get annoying too, especially when I'm trying to lower my score to match PAR, even on single player (one to begin the match, another to indicate I'm to play). Graphics are good, but I wouldn't say overwhelming; on a few occasions the graphics glitched out for me and the camera was placed under…

    The soundtrack composer for this was clearly satanically inspired. 3D MiniGolf is a simple mini-golf game for 1 to 4 players boasting just over 50 courses and a few game modes. Good -4 player co-op -cheep and simple Bad -Glitchy physics, especially the ball physics -the game doesn't shuffle the players to prevent 1st player disadvantage -the music -lack of variety. No moving obstacles, little differentiation between holes -quite a few holes that can be easily hole in one'd Overall maybe…

    Temporary review. Quite a good game. Could be more challenging, but lacking skill levels, a game for all players. Controls are very simple, and easy to use with one hand. Appears to be disabled accessible in many ways (though no telling if it's intentional.) The achievements are appropriate and worthwhile. The more I play, the more fun it gets to be. This is one I intend to finish. Wish the courses were a bit more exciting, but there's time for that later (hopefully.) Maybe a little pricey…

    Devs fixed a critical flaw in that a hole could not be won with a hole-in-one... that's good Overall, not quite polished, some bad grammar (I assume as they are German), but can be fun once you get over its flaws. Definitely had potential to be a lot more, but worth it if gotten cheap.

    A bit of bugs, but very good for a start... Not 50 courses, three... 54 holes I think... Graphics are good. Ball seems to be hovering in the air most of the time visually. Hole 17 on first course I had to reset 6 times because the ball gets stuck in an endless loop... Looking forward to bug fixes and expansions... Recommended...

    The physics seem very obviously off. If you've played pool or actual mini golf, you have some idea about the direction a ball should bounce when it hits a wall from a certain angle, but in this game that relation often seems completely random. There are times the ball will hit a wall at an angle and then bounce directly back in the direction it came from, which shouldn't happen. Makes it unplayable unless you want to sit and randomly try different angles against walls until you get lucky. Waste…

    Wow. How can you build a golf game without a proper physics engine, where THE ANGLES DON'T WORK! Seriously. Hole 4 is unbeatable. It involves playing two right angle turns. So of course, you angle your putt to bounce off the walls at roughly 45 degrees. Imagine my surprise when the ball bounces back at 180 degrees. Leaving it right where it started. And on this hole it puts you back to the tee if you don't make the first corner. Literally making this unplayable. Piece of crap game.

    Very bad game. No real mechanics. You line the shot up, You pull the mouse back to how hard you want to hit ball...once you are happy, you click your mouse to actually hit it. There's no type of swing mechanic, no 3 click golf type mechanic or anything else...tahts it. You say how hard you want to hit it on their gauge, you line it up with mouse, then you click to let the game proceed. On top of that, the rebound mechanics seem horribly off. Basically one shot I hit towards a wall at an…

    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…

    Note before playing: Go into options and turn Slow-Mo off. It kicks in anytime the ball is within a few inches of the hole, which happens a ton due to bounces, and turning this off dramatically improves the quality of gameplay. - Only buy this on sale. It's not perfect but overall it's a pleasant minigolf simulator. - The hole physics seem slightly off at first in that they're extremely forgiving early on when it comes to tolerating high ball speeds but once you get used to them it doesn't…

    Simple mini golf game. It can entertain you but there are better ones out there. Not much variation in the courses and places you go to. Plus the ambient sound of the kids at the beach is quite annoying. Camera controls are too bare bones and the angle shots in the game don't always respond the way they should. Not the worst, but can't recommend it either.

    There is a big problem with this game : BUGS ! When you play a tournament, sometimes, the ball go through the hole, disapears or reappears farther and it's considered a miss. Worse, sometimes, the bug continues and you have to restart the whole tournament !

  • Steam user Steam user …1871Steam reviews · Nov 5, 2015 · 1 h played

    The holes are all standard mini-golf setups. Most holes are either a complete miss where you just hit restart or a hole in one. There aren't really any par 2 or par 3 holes where you try and get below par. You are pretty much just shooting for a hole-in-one on every shot. This doesn't work very well for this kind of game and doesn't really encourage you to try this playing against someone else. I played practically the same game 10-15 years ago.

    With only 3 courses available you will probably get bored very quickly. limited replayability. A level editor would be a real boost and the ability to share these maps as well as online multiplay. Very bugged game. No window mode. Cant switch in and out of game without it locking up. Actually had to decrease grafx setting to get the game to even work...seriously wth. All that being said I think it would actually be a good game/distraction if these bugs where fixed.

    Not impressed ... You get a Minigolf game yes, but the controls are pretty stiff and slow. Also the aiming is very HARD. The courses are uninspiring and I counted only THREE of them(unless I missed something). Nope, there are better (Mini)golf games out there.

    Overall it needed just a bit more polish before release. Maybe it can still happen? Pros: - The graphics are pretty good. - The layouts of most holes are reasonable. I've seen mini golf games that have holes that ramble on and on, this game generally does not suffer from that. Cons: - Alt-Tabbing out of the application causes it to freeze and makes it unable to be switched back to. It then has to be killed through Task Manager. This is the most annoying flaw with the game and pretty much…

    Ok, I didnt played the game... Because I just realize that It wont support a controller, gamepad, xbox controller, etc. Thats is sad. I was really hopping to have a nice time with my kids on the couch, not in front of my PC with mouse and keyboard. Its a 2015 game that has terrible menu interface, not friendly at all.

    In general, I simply can't recommend this game. Some people will be able to enjoy it and you should think about whether or not you fall into that category as you read my review. There are several things that need to happen before you can enjoy this game even a little. You need to be able to tolerate "low budget / low quality" games, really simple "gets the job done" physics (which really don't work that well) and you need to be able to enjoy the mere act of "pocketing the ball," since any other…

    I love mini-golf/crazy-golf, and had high hopes for this game. Unfortunately, while it was fun for a short while, the bugs and limited courses get boring quickly. UX The actual controls are okay, but there are long delays between responses where you aren't sure if the game registered what you are trying to do or not. Restart on the challenges should put you back ready to take your shot, but puts you back before the preview of the course, for example. Also, there are bugs where sometimes you…

I bought two copies of this game, one for myself and one for a friend and unfortunately it doesn't have online capabilities :( EDIT: As far as the game mechanics go, they are a little flimsy and the "handicap" white lines on the first 18 holes are a bit intrusive. As others have stated, Hole 11 has a spot where the camera is obstructed, which results in having to take a blind shot at an…

Cons Focked-up white borders within holes that your ball MUST LAND INSIDE OF, otherwise you MUST START THE HOLE OVER. Abnormal scoring (par+1, par+2, etc.), mainly due to how EVERY HOLE HAS A PAR OF 1! SERIOUSLY?! FREAKIN' HOLE-IN-ONE ON EVERY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HOLE?! WHO MADE THIS SH!T, FOCKED-UP ROBOTS?!

    3D MiniGolf is exactly what it says on the box, a family friendly minigolf sports game. Rendered in 3D, you get a number of minigolf holes to play through, with all the fun obstacles and trick shot putting included. It's a viable premise for casual or family gamers, sure, but they goofed on the controls. If you have any PC gaming peripheral, like a racing wheel, HOTAS, pedals, anything, it assumes it's a console peasant childrens toy gamepad, and locks out the keyboard controls. That's…
