‘Nano Golf: Puzzle Putting’ Is the Latest Radical Retro Golfing Game From Nitrome, and Is Out Now on the App Store

TouchArcade Rating:

With all the excitement of GDC, as well as the stratospheric hype surrounding the likes of Fortnite and PUBG Mobile, a few outstanding releases have slipped through the cracks. Despite these huge launches, it’s likely that Nano Golf: Puzzle Putting (Free) – the latest effort from retro indie darlings Nitrome – will occupy the majority of my attention in the coming weeks. As you may have guessed from its name, Nano Golf features a more methodical, puzzle-focused take on its mini golf peers. And even beyond Nitrome’s trademark pixel-art aesthetic, Nano Golf is going even more basic and colorful in its graphical design, more akin to the original NES than their previous work. I can’t put my finger on it, but a combination of all these elements has resulted in an extremely enticing package, and the sort of game I can totally imagine myself losing many hours to on the daily commute. If you’re similarly smitten, Nano Golf: Puzzle Putting is available to download on the App Store and Google Play today.

Similarly to the Super Stickman Golf series, Nano Golf focuses on wacky, fast-paced action as opposed to tactics or strategy. Like many of its contemporaries, you fire balls by dragging on the touch screen, and encounter a number of teleporters, traps and gimmicks like multiple balls and locked doors. Nitrome promise 70+ unique courses, a number of worlds to explore and even boss stages, which look particularly ridiculous in the game’s 8-bit aesthetic. Best of all, Nano Golf is free to download, with only one in-app purchase to remove advertisements. I’m always on the lookout for one-handed mobile games as they’re just so much more convenient, and hopefully Nano Golf will be more hole-in-one than bogey when you grab the clubs and enter its wacky world. Download Nano Golf on iOS and Android today, and let us know your impressions on our forum thread.
