Just a few weeks ago, Nimblebit teased us with an announcement for a new game called Golfinity, which looked decidedly different from what we’ve come to expect from the developer. Golfinity is a simple, clean, endless mini-golfing game, and Nimblebit themselves describe it as “the baby of Desert Golfing ($1.99) and Monument Valley ($1.99). Now that is a wacky mashup I can get behind. Today, Nimblebit has announced that Golfinity is set to launch this week on November 13th.
One interesting aspect about Golfinity is its pay model. Nimblebit is known for having very inobtrusive free to play games, and this one will be free to play as well but with a slight twist: there won’t be any in-app purchases at all. It’s simply a completely free game with the option of retrying a certain hole by watching an ad. People have been getting pretty creative with using video ads in the monetization of their games (I’m looking at you Bitcoin Billionaire (Free)) so it’ll be interesting to see how that works out. Look for Golfinity to hit this Thursday for free.
