    Golf Peaks’ card-based mechanics lead to some interesting puzzles, but the package is a little on the light side. There is a solid golf game to be found here, but it is over before it even begins.

    A delightful puzzle game for those who like block puzzles but have played enough block puzzles.

    As in normal golf, your job is to get the ball in the hole. You have a set of "cards" to use, each one of you gives you a specific type and distance of shot (e.g. roll 3 or chip 2) and can be used only once. There will be golf obstacles such as water hazards and sand traps, but also block puzzle classics such as ice and conveyor belts. The result is a game both familiar and unique.

    There are 121 levels. Early levels are obvious and can be solved in a few seconds, but some of the later levels took me several minutes of staring and trying to figure out. I'm good at these sorts of puzzle games and found the last couple of worlds, especially the bonus levels, satisfyingly challenging.

    The graphics and sound are a bit of a downside. The music is ambient and not very interesting. The simple isometric graphics are sometimes confusing with regard to depth and perspective; there were several levels that looked obvious or impossible because it wasn't clear how the blocks were aligned with each other. A couple made my eyes swim after staring at them for a while.

    As a mobile game or at a deep discount, fans of these sorts of puzzle games should give it a shot.

    After a short time, the game lacks too much variety for me to want to play it for a longer period of time.

It's a nice way to pass the time while waiting at the bus stop if you have it on your mobile, but without a touchscreen on the desktop, the game really lacks the necessary attraction to stay with it.
