UPDATE 2- You can now aim with greater precision by holding the item key (F for P1 and ; for P2) and tapping left and right. Also fixed some bugs and added more sound effects!
UPDATE 1- fixed a bug in the windmill hole AND added prediction lines for increased aiming accuracy!

Mighty Mini Golf you control your golfer and approach the ball before and after each stroke. The hazards on the course aren't just for the ball to avoid, either! This is a golf game where death can happen! Run out of health on a hole and you'll take the maximum amount of strokes and move on to the next one. You can take on the course in single player or against a friend in local multiplayer where there are a whole host of wacky items you can use to get the upper hand on your opponent, everything from tossing tomatoes, to smoke bombs, and even a killer bee hive! You can also swing your club to clear bushes and flip switches that effect all sorts of things on the course.
Aside from just playing the course, any time you get a birdie or better on a hole you will be rewarded with a birdie coin! These coins can be cashed in at the in-game shop to unlock new characters to play as!

WSAD moves, e selects
Not too shabby of a concept and has some cool presentation to it, but ultimately the design felt a bit confused and frustrating to get used to.
The game makes a pretty good impression at first with its charming explosive title screen and funny graphics, and it goes on to have other nice touches like the way your character skeedaddles away to the next level while displaying the scorecard and playing a jaunty tune: always loved to see that. At the heart of it, the golf gameplay is pretty decent with a large variety of courses with all sorts of obstacles to contend with, and I really did want to enjoy my time with this (and did, at least somewhat).
But unfortunately, the game started to lose its luster quickly. First and foremost, the game never explained the controls at all so I had a real bad time figuring out how to clear out bushes and the like: would love a tutorial or the very least a how to screen for this in-game. Speaking of those weird controls: I appreciate the thought of trying to spice things up with whacking bushes/levers with your club and finding items and such, but it all felt rather pointless: just some annoying busywork to clear the course before you can actually play the game. The aiming was a very imprecise pain the butt as well: I know you eventually patched in a way to more precisely aim, but 1) I don't know why this wasn't the default and 2) it's still not explained in-game. Wrap this altogether with a complete lack of any sort of music and the game just became very boring to play.
I definitely think the game shows a lot of promise and ambition, but was just a bit clunky in its execution. If the core gameplay was just polished up a bit more and the more superfluous elements were redesigned, I think this could be great!
Good game, but there could be some QoL changes:
- The character and ball movement is too slow, it feels almost as it's lagging.
- It should have arrow support.
- Although the F key for aiming fixes a lot, it's still pretty wacky to aim properly.
- A reset button. Having to go to the entire game to do one level again is frustrating.
wacky controls
Not much I can add that hasnt been said, mostly by I exist 1300 but I would also like to see the arrow keys able to be utilized. Not a bad game though, just needs some polish to it in my opinion. Good Job Edit: I added half a star, I think NG gives out scores too generously, but I feel like some of these reviews are unfair on this one
