Wonderputt Forever 12+

I’ve always loved the look and the fun gameplay of Wonderputt, but unfortunately found this version rather frustrating. Within 12 holes of the first course I found myself endlessly repeating holes because the aim and power required to navigate the holes is so ridiculously precise that no one can be expected to actually beat the game without a huge amount of trial and error. After a few holes of this type of thing it got quite boring so I just stopped playing. Shame.

The AppStore used to be inclusive - allowing everyone with an Apple device to download any game available.

Now it’s taken the nasty turn of limiting who can play certain games to those who subscribe to other entertainment providers - Apple’s rivals in many ways.

What a shame. The original Wonderputt is still one of my favourite games, & definitely my favourite golf game. I don’t have Netflix & don’t want to subscribe to a service I’d hardly ever use. I would, however, be prepared to make a one-off payment to buy this game, but the option isn’t there.

This is a nasty way to run things - excluding fans of the original game (& others), because they don’t want an otherwise unrelated service.
It’s a shame the developers think it’s ok to build up the hopes of the original game’s fans - who have been waiting years for a sequel - only to subsequently dash them.

In these times when everyone is taking mental well-being issues very seriously, why would a high-quality game-developing team do this? Especially in the build-up to Christmas, traditionally a period of goodwill to all.

So very disappointing. So very disappointed in you.

Shame. It’s good but doesn’t sync the save between devices
