Flick Golf
For: iPod
This application is a golfing game for anyone who enjoys golf or a slow-steady paced game to pass the time. I discovered it on the AppShopper App, and it caught my eye from all the high ratings. I read about it, and it being only a dollar, I bought it. I was disappointed because somehow I didnt relize it was for iPod only, but you can make the screen bigger on the iPad for iPod only games. After I did that, it didnt even really make a difference so i am completely satified with it.
This app is pretty additive and ever since I bought it and ive played it almost everyday. When you load up the game, it takes you to the menu screen. Here you have several options to choose from. Quickshot, World Tour, and Quickshot Pro. (Also all of the settings, leaderboards and tutoral menu are displayed on this page as well, at the bottom.) When you choose Quickshot, it takes you through several ranges to shoot at within a minutes time. Each time youve gotten enough points, it lets you advance to the next map.
The game itself is pretty easy. Its called Flick golf because you literally "flick" the ball into the air with your finger tip. The higher and/or faster you swipe, the further your golf ball will fly through the air. While its in the air, you can also swipe left, right, up or down to help control where the ball may land. The points are earned by how close you get your ball to the hole. There are several rings around the hole and each stand for a different set of points. (200pts. being the furthest away, and 500pts. being the closest) If you do certain finger swipes while your ball is in the air, you will get bonuses that earn you more points, (such as curve or a top spin bonus). You have to be careful of the wind though too, it will knock your ball right out of your planned path.
Now back to the menu. The second option "World Tour" I would say is the main part of the game. Right now, I am 33% complete this mode, and the only thing that is really different from "QuickShot" mode is that it is not timed, you have to win metals in order to advance, and its out of 9 shots. If you dont make it you have to keep playing until youve earned enough points to advance. And last but not least "QuickShot Pro" seems to be an adanced form of "Quickshot" but it needs to be unlocked somehow before I can view the courses.
This game is relaxing and I hope you find it fun like me!
