With the Winter Blues in full swing, those who can’t travel to their favorite warm destination to break out their favorite set of clubs will be very disappointed. Fortunately, there are options. You could shell aside big bucks for an indoor course or a little less on kiddie golf set for the apartment. If you want set your monetary sights to a fraction of what we just described, you can download Easy Golf for your iPhone&iPad and give your best shot at getting a hole in one.
It’s Easy
Easy Golf contains three separate levels each with the same goal, getting the golf ball into the hall. You are given a direction indicator and a speed controller via a “Go” button. Two arrows on the left side of the screen allow you to change the direction of the ball. The direction can be set anyway in a 180 degree arc. Once you position the direction you wish for the ball to go in, you have to tap on the Go button. Be careful as the Go button is super sensitive. You have to find the right combination of the direction arrow and sensitivity level on the Go button to have more control over the ball. It took us several times to get it right. You should feel frustrated when playing. Did you really think that you would be able to master three levels in three minutes? Setting a trajectory is not as easy as it looks and it is almost too easy to hit the ball too far. If the ball should fall off the ledge on other side, it is game over.
Verdict
Easy Golf is an extremely simple game that requires skill. Once you learn to have control over the ball, the fun will be repeating your success. It is easy to navigate, fun to play, but hard to conquer. We enjoyed the obstacles presented in later levels and wish that the developer included more levels. Easy Golf is a fun game with a lot of potential.
