Astro Golf: Taking Mini Golf to New Heights by Bolder Games, LLC ($1.99, 141.7 MB): Embark on a quirky and adorable journey that ends up taking mini-golf into a universe of imagination. After boarding an unattended cargo ship, which surprisingly departs the hangar immediately thereafter, Orbit sets out to investigate. Because of the vessel's massive size and labyrinth of platforms, the bulbous robot morphs into a self-propelled ball, an alternate form providing extra speed, durability, maneuverability as well as smaller size. Accordingly, every one of these elements will be necessary in this environment. Foremost, the small spherical size is required to fit within the extraction area at the end of each section. In contrast, the higher max velocity and equal sturdiness offered by the spherical shape will be important to jump over gaps, roll over pressure pad activated security doors and directional acceleration boost tiles, deflect from cylindrical bumpers and electrified walls, fly through transporters, repel off energy shields, endure acid and flames, plus overcome other hazards most efficiently, i.e., quickly and in the least amount of actions. The game features 3-D graphics, atmospheric soundtrack, comic book-style story, two playable characters with unique special abilities, 12 power-ups and upgrades across four categories, 30 holes spanning four areas, single finger control, as well as Game Center achievements and leaderboard.
