Games are plentiful in the Android market, but good games are few and far between. Especially classics like mini golf games. There is a company out there that is doing it, and doing it pretty darn well. Arb Studios LLC has quite a few apps listed in the market, but I was more interested in their Tiki Golf series.
They have a total of 4 versions available on the market. The generic FREE version of Tiki Golf 3D and Tiki Golf 2. Then you have the Paid version of each that offers an alternate course line up and a few added features. They both are extremely fun with colorful graphics, great game play and original course designs. Your ‘Golfer’ is a Tiki mask dude that is playing on a series of floating platform holes. Each hole has its own unique challenge for completing. You can shoot for the easy ‘Green’ flag or the more difficult ‘Red’ flag to earn your points during game play. Yes, we said points. This game isn’t based on strokes but a points system. The fewer strokes the more points, which hole you sink it in is more points and if you take advantage of the ‘steering’ option you earn even more points. The steering feature is pretty fun. After you take you shot you can steer the ball using your devices built in accelerometer to control it like a car. The more steering you do, the more points you earn.
Tiki Golf 3D, the first version of the game, is a bit on the straight forward side. Grab your putter and swing aways. Tiki Golf 2 has character selection with various attributes, Â various putters and balls with special abilities. It gets rather addicting and is a lot of fun. I highly recommend you give both of these game a go if you have been looking for a great mini golf game that won’t cost you your dinner.
